ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus has a panel with a target area supported on a frame against which a ball is aimed and tossed. The ball covering and the target area include hook and pile fastener materials so that the ball will releasably attach to the target area upon impact. The target area employs hook material while the ball covering includes the pile material. A graphic representation of a target is formed on the target area by applying pigmented ink to selected portions of the hooks and by employing a heat sublimation process to deform selected portions of the hooks along with the pigmented ink to display a particular target representation. The frame may be placed on the ground or may be floated by using buoyant spheres or bulbs secured to the frame.
