ABSTRACT:
An amusement device is provided having a target which is a comic representation of a person, such as a radio announcer, for example. The target is portrayed on a generally flat, vertical surface, having a large open mouth, defining a bull's-eye and a portion, such as a hairpiece or wig, which is dislodged when a missile projected by the player strikes the bull's-eye. The falling-off of the hairpiece shows the announcer to be bald and this visibly and humorously indicates the accurate throw or shot of the player. The hairpiece is preferably detachably secured to the target by magnets, and dislodgement is effected by a lever pivoted centrally behind the target with one end disposed behind the open mouth and the other end having an adjustable pin adapted to turn into a second opening in the target figure and strike against the hairpiece overcoming the hold of the magnets. A resilient means such as a rubber band is utilized to return the lever to its initial position against the rear of the announcer's mouth.
