A new game apparatus including a shooting device for shooting a ball and a target when the shooting device is loaded, balls are either shot automatically by the shooting device, or by a trigger operated by the user. The shooting device includes a pressurizable ball receiving chamber into which the ball to be played enters when the player is ready to shoot the shooting device. The ball enters the chamber through a first hole in the chamber. The shooting device also includes a door for closing this first hole, a source of fluid under pressure and a switch and solenoid assembly for admitting the fluid into the chamber in a sufficient amount to drive the ball from the chamber through a second hole in the chamber. The second hole leads to an exit conduit through which the ball is projected out into the open air. The chamber is closed off upon the initial pressurization of the chamber by the door and by the ball. As more pressure is added, sufficient pressure builds up to propel the ball out the second hole. The target has holes therein to which the shooting device and exit conduit are aimed, the object being to shoot a ball into one of the target holes. In certain embodiments, separate automatic ball return systems are provided to distinguish balls that go in the target holes from balls that miss the target holes. In other embodiments a control unit is provided to receive the balls from the ball return systems and to dispense balls to the shooting device.
