Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a disc golf target with an impact attenuation system governing direction and speed of a flying disc. The disc golf target includes an upper assembly structure, groups of upper assembly members, and/or individual upper assembly members that can provide tilt with twist resistance upon receiving a disc within the ‘target zone’. The tilt softens the collision and effectively redirects the disc downward toward the basket while twist resistance reduces kinetic energy and the tendency for a disc to escape entanglement, resulting in capture.
