ABSTRACT:
A target game for simulating a bowling game including a ball and a plurality of simulated bowling pins mounted in a circular arrangement about an opening provided in the front face of a substantially vertical frame structure. Each bowling pin is individually pivotally mounted to the frame so that the longitudinal axis of all of the pins are directed radially into an open space in the center of the frame opening defined by the heads of the pins and of a lesser diameter than the ball. The pins are movable from a "set" vertical disposition wherein all of the pins lie generally in the vertical plane of the front face of the frame structure to a "knocked-down" horizontal disposition wherein all of the pins are substantially horizontal or perpendicular to the front face. The ball is thrown through the air by one of the player's of the game toward the center of the opening where it is possible to simultaneously hit the center heads of all of the pins to thereby move them to the knocked-down position which could be scored as a strike. If the bowling ball is not thrown exactly on center, fewer than all of the pins will be moved to their knocked-down horizontal position and the player may be permitted a second attempt to knock down the remaining pins, which could be scored as a "spare" if he does so. After a player's turn, all of the pins are manually returned to the set position for the next player.
