Each has two parts: the pointer end, of a lighter wood, which is 7/8" long and 1/8" in diameter, and the handle, which is 3 11/16" long and 1/4" in diameter. Each pointer is 4 9/16" long in total.

Three-tiered vertical target measuring 12" tall. The natural wooden base is 3 1/2" in diameter and 7/8" tall. A pole juts up about 11" from the center of the base, and tapers to the top. At top, a red metal bowl is attached, 1 5/8" in diameter and 1/2" high. A yellow metal bowl is attached 2/3rd the way up the pole, 2 1/2" in diameter and 5/8" high. A blue metal bowl is attached 1/3rd the way up the pole, 3 1/2" in diameter and 3/4" high.

Each wink, called a "hopper", is shaped like the letter "X" with curved interiors, each 5/8" wide and high. They appear to be made of thin metal. There are 4 hoppers of the following colors: yellow, red, orange, and blue.
