Patent ID: 7328902

Claim:
Target apparatus for a bola tossing game, comprising: a pair of frames; support structure to hold the frames upright and spaced one in front of the other along a line of sight from where users toss said bolas; each frame comprising a pair of transversely-spaced upright stiles and at least one free-spinning rung-target extending between and carried at elevation by the respective pair of stiles of the respective frame with freedom to respond in particular to asymmetric landings of tossed bolas by accelerating to spinning rapidly along each's respective spin axis; wherein said line-of-sight spacing between the frames changes the complexion of bola tossing games by adding a depth dimension to the rung-targets as said free-spinning rung-targets concurrently increase the level of difficulty and skill in perching bolas either wrapped or draped at rest on rungs by increasing the propensity of landing bolas to, in quick succession, wind fully in and then on rebound unwind and thereafter self-launch off the subject rung.
