HOW TO PLAY
1

Place the short stick across a small marked pit or notch on the ground.

2

Use the long stick to tap one end of the short stick sharply, popping it up into the air.

3

While it is airborne, swing the long stick to strike the short stick and send it flying as far as possible.

4

Other players in the field try to catch the flying short stick before it touches the ground to end that turn early.

5

If the stick lands uncaught, measure or estimate the distance to score that turn, often using stick-lengths as a unit.

6

Rotate turns among players, and whoever racks up the farthest total distance across several tries wins.
