  • Patent number: 5333879
    Abstract: A target board for use in a bag pitching game which includes a relatively thin, substantially rigid panel having a generally planar upper surface provided with a plurality of upwardly extending, arcuately curved projections extending upwardly from the planar surface to form a plurality of target areas toward which the bag is pitched with the target areas being of different configurations thus introducing different degrees of difficulty with game point scoring values being assigned to the target area depending upon their degree of difficulty. Some of the target areas are assigned positive point values and other of the target areas are assigned negative point values. The target board includes structure which enables the target board to be anchored to a supporting surface and drain holes are provided when used outdoors and a hand hold structure to facilitate the target board being carried or hung vertically from a supporting structure when stored.
