A children's dexterity game slightly reminiscent of skee-ball, only you use a small metal catapult to launch the ball instead of one's own hand. A cardboard insert remains in the box to collect low-scoring tosses (ones which don't go through the clown's holes). Another piece of cardboard folds over and stands upright, creating a vertical target.
Points are scored depending on the point value of the hole the ball goes through. First shooter to reach 1000 points is the winner. Original price $1.00. Stands out due to colorful, wacky 60s artwork and type usage, and for the clown actually being not-creepy.
