ABSTRACT:
In a free standing target apparatus for playing cards, or other aerial projectiles, a bowl-shaped target is disposed above a backdrop of continuous sheeting material. The sheeting material slopes downwardly and converges at a receptacle located below the target. The slope of the sheeting material is steep enough to cause playing cards landing on the backdrop to slide downwardly into a stack in the receptacle. A notch is formed in the base of the receptacle, so that the stack of playing cards can be easily gripped by the player for removal. The front surface of the backdrop extends vertically to the floor to prevent misplayed cards from sliding beneath the target apparatus, and to prevent air currents from altering the trajectories of the cards. The frame of the apparatus is comprised of a plurality of straight tubing segments held together by molded sleeves. The frame can thus be easily disassembled for storage or shipment.
