ABSTRACT:
A throwing target for arresting the flight of ball has a frame for defining a substantially vertical plane with a top rail spaced-apart from a bottom rail, first and second linkages coupled between the top rail and the bottom rail and traversely adjustable relative to each other and to the frame. A deformable band is releasably coupled to the first and second linkages at a plurality of positions for expanding and contracting to form a plurality of substantially rectangular target regions having a variety of selectable cross-sectional areas and positions relative to the frame depending in part upon the relative position of the first and second linkages and in part upon the location along the first and second linkages at which the deformable band is releasably coupled. A ball pouch is coupled to, and substantailly rearward of, the deformable band for arresting the flight of balls thrown through the deformable band, wherein balls thrown on-target are captured in the ball pouch and segregated from balls thrown off-target.
