ABSTRACT:
A bag tossing game target having first and second generally planar, equally sized panels that are connected together by a hinge. The first and second panels are moveable between a first, in-use configuration in which the first and second panels are coplanar, and a second, folded configuration in which the first and second panels lay back-to-back to each other. The first panel has a hole therein which is sized such that a bag can be tossed therethrough. The first and second panels each include an elongated hole adjacent one edge to form a handle by which the folded target can be carried. The panels are formed of a lattice structure to render the target lightweight. Further, the thickness of the lattice structure is reduced whereby a series of pockets are defined between the panels when folded. Elongated support legs are provided which can be detachably secured to one of the panels at one end and rest upon the ground at the other end to support one of the panels above the ground while an end of the other panel rests upon the ground. The legs are sized and shaped such that when detached from the panel, the legs can be nested within one of the pockets when the panels are folded. In this way, the legs are retained within the folded target, reducing the chances that the legs will be misplaced. The bags used during play of the game can also be nested within the pockets.
