Abstract
A new and improved saucer target comprising a frame and a cover which is supported on the frame having a generally open front. The cover extends rearwardly of the front, closing the sides and the back of the frame. The cover has at least one generally horizontal shelf extending away from the front toward the back of the frame defining a plurality of pockets having an open front and closed top and bottom and sides and back extending rearwardly from the open front. The cover is made of supported fabric whereby each pocket is provided with an opening larger than the diameter of a saucer in all horizontal dimensions, and resilient sides and back and top and bottom which when impacted by a saucer will absorb the energy of the saucer and decrease its velocity to zero and a bottom which will collect the saucers thrown into the pocket.
