Abstract
A game target is supported by a plurality of legs capable of remaining sure on both grass and concrete. The target is partitioned by the target frame into a plurality of zones. A pocket, attached to the target frame, occupies each zone. The pockets are of an appropriate depth to hold a plurality throwing projectiles. The target is supported in a reclining orientation in order to align with the typical trajectory of an underhand throw thereby better facilitating the capture of a throwing ball in a pocket.
Claims6
A standup target apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of concentric rings positioned in a target plane, each of the rings assembled from curved ring segments;
- a plurality of linear radial segments;
- a plurality of couplings, the couplings joining the ring segments with the radial segments to form a rigid frame;
- and a plurality of fabric pockets, each one of the pockets mounted to at least two of the ring segments by a series of spaced apart peripheral loops, the pockets each providing excessive surface area thereby establishing a billowed conformation rearwardly of the target plane.
