Abstract:

A gaming apparatus is provided, including at least one freestanding, upright first target having three target zones spaced apart from each other, each having a different sized forward facing opening and at least one projectile. The first target member includes first and second vertical support members and at least three pairs of crossbeams extending therebetween. The apparatus includes a second target substantially identical to the first target and spaced from the first target on a playing surface. In one embodiment, a method of playing an aerial projectile game includes separating a first target and a second target, directing a projectile toward one of the targets from a station proximate the other target, and awarding points for each projectile that lodges in a scoring zone of the target. A method of assembly includes coupling a plurality of tubular segments into a ladder-shaped configuration, and coupling the ladder configuration to a base member in an upright configuration with respect to a playing surface.
