ABSTRACT:
A recreational game for two or more participants is disclosed which employs an aerodynamically designed, multiwinged airfoil projectile, together with at least one hand-held shield. The shield has a front face with a generally flat projectile receiving surface, a rear generally convex face generally configured to be supported by the natural form of a user's generally relaxed hand, and shock-absorbing chamber-defining means between the two faces to effectively cushion the user's hand against impact of the projectile. The shield includes a strap spaced from the back face by a hand-accommodating distance whereby a participant's hand is removably retained in the space by the pressure exerted against the hand by the disk and strap.
The projectile is thrown by one participant, and captured on the shield by a second participant via a suction device on the projectile.
