HOW TO PLAY
1

The striker places the tapered stick on the ground and taps one pointed end with the longer stick to flip it into the air.

2

While the tapered stick is airborne, the striker swings the longer stick to hit it as far as possible into the field.

3

Fielders try to catch the tapered stick before it lands; a clean catch ends the striker's turn immediately with no score.

4

If nobody catches it, the striker's score for that turn is measured by counting how many stick-lengths lie between the landing spot and the starting mark.

5

Players take turns being the striker, and after an agreed number of rounds the player with the highest total distance wins.
