and amuse children and stimulate their skill and accuracy of vision and manipulation in projecting a missile at a target.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective elevation of the toy; and
Fig. 2 is a top plan view.
Referring to the drawing, 0 designates as an entirety a circular target, preferably made of soft wood or some similar material, and 6 designates a depending handle that is rigid with the target 5 and by which the latter is firmly held in one hand of the child. The target is preferably, and as here shown, provided with a central hole 7, constituting the bulls eye and is also preferably marked on its face with a series of concentric circles bounding annular zones 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of different values, as indicated.
Detachably secured to the face of the target 5 at diametrical opposite points are a pair of posts 13, these latter preferably having threaded ends which screw into tapped holes in the face of the target so as to render the device readily collapsible for Directly attached to the outer ends of the posts 13 are the two ends of an elastic propulsion cord 14. 15 designates the missile, in this case shown as of the-pointed bullet form, and having a longitudinal kerf 16 at its rear end and by which it may be engaged by the looped or folded end of cord 14.
In the useof the device, the child grasps the target 5 by the handle 6 in one hand, and enters the missile 15 on the cord 14, then retracts the missile, stretching the cord, and aiming at the bulls eye, lets go. If the Specification of Letters Patent.

shot is perfect, the missile passes through the hole 7, the diameter of the missile being slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole. If the child misses the bulls eye, the pointed end of the missile impinges upon one of the annular zones surrounding the bulls eye, either sticking or leaving its mark of impact in the latter.
I also preferably employ, in addition to the structural features already described, an alarm or signal for indicating when a bulls eye shot has been made. This signal may take the form of a bell 17 which may be removably mounted on the back of the target 5 by means of a post or pin 18, a portion of the bell lying directly behind the bulls eye hole 7. When using the device with the bell attachment, :1 round missile 15 is preferably employed, to avoid blunting the sharp point of a pointed missile, although the latter may be used if desired.
I claim:
1. A target toy, comprising a target having a hole at its bulls-eye and a series of concentric circles bounding annular zones of different values, a handle rigid with said target, a pair of posts detachably mounted on the face of said target at diametrically opposite points of the latter and normal to the plane of said face, an elastic propulsion cord attached at its ends to the outer ends of said posts, and a missile formed with a nar row slot or kerf for engagement with said cord and adapted to be propelled by the latter against said target.
2. A target toy, comprising a wooden target having a hole at its bulls-eye and a series of concentric circles bounding annular zones of different values, a handle rigid with said target, an elastic propulsion cord connected at its ends to diametrically opposite points of said target, and a missile having a sharp pointed forward end adapted to penetrate and stick in said target and a narrow slot or kerf at its rear end for engagement with said cord.
