| I could be completely wrong, Tom, but for some reason 40' sticks
in my head...
John Hendry's the guy to ask, though. He knows EVERYTHING...

| Sorry to disappoint you, 'Saw, but I know nothing about horseshoes
whatsoever. I've played it and I like it, and I know our beloved
Fearless Leader, George Herbert Walker Bush (Barbara's hubby) plays,
but I'm like Sergeant Schultz on this one.

I cain't believe my eyes!!!!!!!!! I've been a RON in here for a long
time. I finally pop in to ask a question and THE 'SAW was wrong!!!!
I don't know how to handle such a thing. Just in case I manage to
survive the shock, could someone possibly provide the data?
thanks,

It is 40' (or is it 40'') from post to post.

| Well, I have been known to be wrong, from time to time Tom.
The fact that I stated that JHendry knows everything was more of
a joke than a true, swear-on-the-Bible statement of my undying
belief that John Hendry is a true wonk-it-all.
As to the 40 feet, I remember hearing that somewhere, and as luck
would have it, I remembered correctly.
There was only one man who never made a mistake, and they hung
him on a cross.....
Hope this eases your burden, and is some comfort to you in your
time of grief.

BTW, there are dimensions for those boxes that go around the horseshoe
post, but I don't know what they are. Perhaps a sporting goods store
could help you out....

The stakes should lean toward each other, but no more than one inch
from the centerline.

| Use clay for the pit. It works best and it's cheap.

| Although *Clay* is a superior substance, sand is better in
this application. When it gets HOT, clay will get rock
hard thus exposing the players to wild rebounds of the
horse shoes.
My favorite radio station? Why it's KIKN! They play both
kinds of music............
Country and Western!
