OBJECT TOSS TARGET GAME

The object toss target game includes a board preferably with holes in gaming regions to provide a gameplay surface. A support is pivotally connected to the bottom of the board in spring-biased fashion to maintain the board in a neutral position level with the ground when there are no gaming objects are on the top surface of the board. When gaming objects of on the surface of the board and there is uneven weighting on the top surface due to the gaming objects on the gameplay surface, the gameplay surface will tilt providing dynamic gameplay. The board may also be two boards hingedly connected to each other so the board may be folded into to a compact size and shape to reveal a handle to facilitate transport and storage.

Sports target device featuring elastic return mechanism
11273349 · 2022-03-15 ·

A target assembly that is configured to withstand high-velocity impact from a projectile. These configurations may comprise elastic members, or “bungee” cords, that generate elastic forces to return the target assembly to its orientation prior to impact. The bungee cords are less likely to undergo inelastic deformation; so these components afford the target assembly with longer life or longevity under heavy duty cycles.
