bowling pin
Alley standing target
A bowling pin is one of the tall, narrow wooden or plastic targets arranged in a triangular formation at the end of a bowling lane.
The standard game uses ten pins; knocking them all down with one ball is a strike.
Pins have a distinctive shape—narrow at the neck, bulging in the middle—that has made them iconic: She wore her hair in a bowling pin shape.
