Abstract: A target practice device for improving an outside shot is mountable on any place on the rim of the basketball goal that has an available surface, i.e. any pan of the rim that does not also have a hook supporting the net. The target can be placed on the rim so that the target-face can be at various angles ranging from 90 degrees (with respect to the ground) to 0 degrees. The target is designed so that it will retract readily to the force of an incoming basketball. When the ball's trajectory is completed, the target returns to its equilibrium position. The device can be mounted on to, and without damaging or altering any part of, a standard basketball goal.
