DISC THROWING GAME
First Claim
1. A disc throwing game comprising:
- a disc for being thrown with an induced spin, the disc having a thickness and length and being arranged with an exterior contour that results in the thrown spinning disc to be propelled in a given relative orientation to the force of gravity from a proximal throwing region to a distal remote region; and
a target member having a target region and arranged to stand upright with the target region generally vertical, the target region having a plurality of first openings dimensioned relative to the disc thickness and length to receive the disc therethrough.

Abstract
A target comprises a pair of hinged panels with circular openings and parallel slots. The target is supported by a set of two like planar supports hinged to an edge of each panel at opposite target edges. The slots have a length of about the same dimension as the circular opening diameter in one embodiment. Openings with different diameters may be combined with slots of different lengths than those diameters. Discs known as Frisbees are thrown at the target to try to throw the discs through the slots or openings. Frisbees have a configuration wherein when thrown with a spin tend to fly toward a target in a horizontal orientation and are controllable to some degree in the direction of flight. Points are assigned. The relative dimensions of the openings and slots to the discs can vary the degree of difficulty or by orienting the panels at different angles to the disc thrower. Different embodiments are disclosed.
