263.0. "Horseshoe Pitching" by CSOA1::CONNER (Welcome to the jungle) Tue Apr 28 1992 18:15

   I have a need for Horseshoe information.

1.  How far apart are the stakes.

2. Pit dimensions.

3. Shoe weight.

4. Stake diameter.

5. Stake height.

6. Centering of stake in the pit (how far from front, back, sides)

7. pit substance.

8. Any other specifications or rules which are specified or ruled.

Tell me, tell me, tell me.   

Thanks,
Mike.   BTW, Dave Broeker needs this for entertaining the group of us
             at his home.  We need to make sure that he doesn't try to
             gain any unfair home court advantage.  :-)

    Prez Bush loves the game.
    You can stand any where behind the stake to throw your shoe.
    Make sure you take the shoe off the horse before throwing it.
    Game is to 21 and you must win by 2
    Ringer is 3, leaner is 2 and 1 point if with-in a horse-shoe lenght
    Only one team/person can score on each throw.
    Do not try and get your dog to catch horseshoes like a fresbee... :-}
