ABSTRACT:
Inaccuracies in measurement of the separation of a pitched horseshoe from a target stake are substantially reduced by a measuring device that is configured to engage the target stake such that surface anomalies in the stake do not influence the accuracy of the measurement. The measuring device is comprised of a generally elongated solid body having a generally circular aperture adjacent one end of the body, the diameter of the aperture exceeding the width of the target stake, so that the device may be placed over the stake and a far edge portion of the aperture, that is adjacent to the one end of the body, may abut against that portion of the stake which faces away from the pitching direction. A sequence of gradation markings are formed on a second portion of the flat body, which is spaced apart from the one end of the body. In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a scoring device for providing an indication of the score of the game during the progress of the game. The device preferably comprises a body of generally flat material, one surface of which has a plurality of holes, the holes being sized to receive insertable and removable peg-type elements respectively associated with participants of the game. A sequence of numerical scoring (numbers) are successively placed on the surface in alignment with the holes so that placement of a peg-element in a hole indicates the score of a respective game participant.
