Abstract
The apparatus has a target which consists of two or more cylinders which rest on a support. The object of the game is to strike the cylinders with the flying disc from a distance so that they fall off the support. The cylinders are of unequal length such that striking the shorter disc by the flying disc when it is thrown a given distance requires greater skill than striking the longer cylinder when the disc is thrown the same distance. The support may be inflatable so that the game can be played in water.

In combination:
- a flying disc;
- and a target including at least two objects each adapted to be knocked over when struck by said flying disc, one said object being larger than the other said object such that striking the latter said object by said flying disc thrown a given distance requires greater skill than striking the former said object by said flying disc thrown the same said distance,
- further including a support on which each said object is adapted to rest, wherein said support includes a buoyant base adapted to float on the surface of a body of water, a receptacle and a plurality of legs which extend between said base and said receptacle for maintaining said receptacle spaced above said water surface, said receptacle adapted to receive a selective one of said objects but to allow whichever of said object is received therein to separate from said receptacle when struck by said flying disc.
