Abstract: A shooting gallery amusement device having an elongate frame member, a plurality of targets mounted upstandingly on said frame member and a return mechanism associated with said targets to return them to an upstanding position on said elongate frame member subsequent to their having been knocked down is disclosed. The return mechanism includes a plurality of cables, each cable being secured on a first end to a respective target and thereafter passing through a respective aperture defined in the elongate frame. Each cable is connected on its second end to an elongate rod which is positioned beneath the frame and adapted to be displaced relative to the frame. Upon a user's displacement of the rod, the cables urge the targets to return to an upstanding position subsequent to their having been knocked down by a force applied thereto by a projectile impacting thereon.

Abstract: A multiple firing elastic shooter toy including a handle, a rod which may take the form of a barrel and having a notched end to receive lengths of elastic members and a receiver section interconnecting the handle and the rod. The receiver section is of generally U-shaped cross-section and has a web at one side of the shooter and top and bottom legs. Spaced apart slots are formed in the web and partially into the legs of the receiver to accept other lengths of the elastic members. A snubber post projects from the shooter toy at the side opposite the web and forwardly of the slots in the direction of the rod and serves as a safety against inadvertant release of stretched elastic members.
