I've got some friends coming for the weekend and if it's anything like last time, there will be a few all night sessions of shuuz. Last time I got my butt kicked and this time I was hoping to end up on top. But whenever I throw the horseshoe, it always ends up backwards and just bounces off the stake. I played 4 games yesterday (one with each player) and only got 1 ringer! Anyone have any tips to get ringers? How much backswing do you recommend? I'm sure there has got to be a secret to getting a ringer, I just can't figure it out. Any Shuuz gurus have any advice? |

Well I have my 'technique' but it seems hit and miss. Sometimes I do really well and other times I blow... I usually go for around 3/4 backswing. Also don't be mislead by the position of some of the guys 'aim' position. I seem to remember Al (or someone) has a slightly mis-leading stance :D I guess my tip is make sure everyone else drinks more than you ;) ;D |

If I get a chance, i'll try again after a few beers and see how the results change :). I typically take a backswing around 1/2 way and then throw it with a decent speed and I don't have a problem with aim, it's just that the horseshoe always is facing backwards so it doesn't wrap around the stake, it just bounces back. How can you not like a game which has a built-in delay so the loser can go buy the next round of beer (or in my case go hit up the kegerator for another pitcher)?!? |

I, too, have seen several long nights in a dark room with Shuuz in front of me. I don't know if there is a secret technique. I've seen people play with some wacky stances and kick my ***. It seems to me that there are nights when I'm on, and nights when I'm off. I don't really get better at it exactly. |

LOL, can't agree more about the 'beer round' - always fun ;D Beer agrees with me too when playing this kindof thing and pub games, fortunately :) |
