A disc golf target having an improved configuration for providing uniform,
more consistent disc capture. The target includes a canopy assembly and a
basket assembly attached to a center pole. A tripod base is used to
support the target. A chain assembly is attached between the canopy and
basket assemblies for absorbing kinetic energy from an incoming disc
thereby capturing the disc. The chain assembly includes a continuous upper
chain, attached to the canopy assembly and extending 360 degrees, a
plurality of deflection members hanging from the upper chains, and a
continuous lower chain functionally coupled to the lower end of said
deflection members. The deflection members are attached to the canopy and
basket assemblies in an alternating pattern in which a first deflection
members are attached at the canopy assembly and adjacent second deflection
members are attached at the basket assembly. The canopy and basket
assemblies are quickly collapsible.
