ABSTRACT:
A novel amusement apparatus or target game includes a target for receiving projectiles aimed and fired from a mobile firing device. The target includes a plurality of separate, projectile retaining compartments which are open at the front and each compartment has a selected scoring value for projectiles that are accurately fired and retained therein. The mobile firing device is manually aimed and fired to forcefully propel the projectiles towards selected compartments of the target. The firing device includes a body, preferably in the form of an animal which is supported in upstanding position on a suitable playing surface and a firing head is pivotally mounted on the body and is biased for moving an outer end portion or nose to strike and fire a projectile toward the target. A trigger is provided for releasing the biasing means to fire the projectile, and preferably, the firing head is in the shape of an animal head, such as a bull, with a pair of horns and the bull's nose is formed with a recess adapted to accommodate and fire the projectiles which are positioned on a support system aimed generally towards the target.
