CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application for a utility patent is a continuation-in-part of a previously filed utility patent, now abandoned, having the application Ser. No. 10/742,716, filed Dec. 19, 2003.
A target apparatus for bola tossing games has both a forward and rearward frame presenting one or more rung-targets as well as a construction for the rung-targets by which such have free-spinning outer sleeves. Wherein the spacing between the forward and rearward changes the complexion of bola tossing games by adding a depth dimension among various ones of the rung-targets. And wherein the free-spinning aspect of the rung-targets increases the level of difficulty and skill in perching bolas, either wrapped or draped, at rest on rungs by not only increasing the propensity of landing bolas to, in quick succession, wind fully in and then on rebound unwind and thereafter self-launch off the subject rung but also by increasing the propensity that the foregoing dislodges any previously perched bola.
