Abstract
A picture frame target device includes a plurality of picture frames pivotally held on a base platform of a supporting frame each picture frame having a ferrous object mounted on the picture frame, and a plurality of magnets embedded in a magnet carrying plate positioned above and adjacent to the picture frames each magnet magnetically attracting a ferrous object mounted on each picture frame therein each picture frame is magnetically attached to each magnet on an upper portion of the supporting frame to pose like a floating condition on the base platform, whereby upon a shooting of an elastic band or rubber ring on each picture frame which is served as a target device, the picture frame once struck will be reciprocatively vibrated, but not turning its up side down, to enhance a player's interest and also for decorative purpose.
