Hold-Over Vari-Targets

A variation of the Vari-Targets mechanism equipped with a memory feature that retains the target’s position between balls, so the sliding assembly stays wherever the previous hit left it rather than resetting to its starting point. This hold-over behavior — similar in concept to Memory Drop Targets, which remain down between turns — allows a player to build on the progress of earlier shots, pushing the target incrementally deeper into higher-scoring positions across multiple balls. The hold-over feature added a strategic layer to the standard vari-target, rewarding sustained accuracy over the course of an entire game rather than a single powerful shot.
