Cornhole Shootout

What do you get when you mix two popular sports activities that almost anyone can play? Cornhole Shootout, a superfun fusion of basketball and cornhole.

The all-new indoor-outdoor game, Cornhole Shootout is set up like traditional cornhole. However, this time, players take aim and can choose to shoot into elevated hoops, strategically placed on the cornhole-style board. A bank-shot or swish will likely fall straight through the hole on the cornhole board too for extra points.
