HOW TO PLAY
1

Place the small tapered peg on the ground and strike one of its angled ends with the long stick to pop it into the air.

2

While the peg is airborne, hit it again with the stick to send it as far as possible.

3

Other players may try to catch the peg in the air; a clean catch ends the striker's turn immediately.

4

If the peg is not caught, measure the distance it traveled in stick-lengths and add that to the striker's running score.

5

Players rotate through an agreed number of turns each.

6

The player with the highest total distance score at the end wins.
