Abstract
Abstract A missile rebound recreational device includes a rectangular frame adjustably supported in an inclined position and supporting a registering rebound net by peripherally spaced elastic bands interconnecting the frame legs and rebound net. A support arm depends from the frame top leg behind the rebound web and is adjustable in length, along the frame leg and angularly about the frame leg axis and an impact actuated bell is mounted on the arm free end and includes an actuating member facing the rebound web. A thin flexible web having a target representation is superimposed on the rebound web front face.
