Horseshoes – Throw 1 and 1 quarter turn

If you are a beginner at the game of horseshoes, the first thing you should do is learn to throw them. If you’re a professional horseshoe pitcher, it never hurts to get back to the basics and get your game back on track. For the purposes of this article, we’ll assume you’re right-handed. If you are left handed, just apply everything the opposite way.

One key thing to remember when reading this is that the horseshoe is like any other skill in life. It takes practice to be accurate. So if you really want to develop this skill, prepare to spend many hours practicing your pitching. However, unlike many other sports, this game can be fun for everyone, even if you can barely hit the mark!

Then it is time to raise the horseshoe. But before you throw it on the pin, take a good look at how you hold it. What you want to do is hold the shoe on its side like a backwards “C”. Grip the bottom side of the shoe so that the last knuckle of your fingertips is on the inside edge. This will allow the fingertips to curve up from the inside edge of the horseshoe. Your thumb will be on the flat side of the shoe so that the tip of your thumb meets the tips of your index and middle finger.

The location of your grip should be roughly in the middle of the horseshoe’s leg or stem. This type of grip is called a 1 1/4 turn. This is one of the best grips for a beginner. This grip requires much less wrist movement than other types of grip. This allows the pitcher to focus more on the throw than on the wrist action, which generally gives them more control. When throwing a horseshoe with the 1 1/4 turn, you should let it have a little more speed during the throw. The best way to get a chime with this pitch is to have the horseshoe go in and engage the stake from the right side. You’ll be able to hook that stake right and help you land those bells shot after pitch.

The most common mistake when throwing a horseshoe is forcing it to spin in the air. When launched correctly, the horseshoe will do the work for you in the air. If you force it to turn, you are not only losing accuracy in launch, but you are also causing an unusual spin in the air that can cause the horseshoe to land on its side and roll. The goal here is to make the horseshoe fall flat or “dead” around the stake.

Now that you’ve got hold of the horseshoe, it’s time to observe the swinging motion of your throwing arm. Keep the horseshoe straight in front of you at eye level and pointed at the stake. The position of your feet is really optional. You can stand with your feet together or with your left foot about 6 to 8 inches behind your right foot. In either case, you want most of your weight to be on your right foot. When you start to do the backswing, you should take the shoe and place it in an upright position (like a handshake). The shoe must remain in an upright position throughout the backswing. On your ascent, when the shoe passes your right leg, return the shoe to the horizontal or level position. Release the horseshoe when it returns to the line between your eyes and the opposite stake. Keep your wrist locked and straight and release the shoe in a level position so that it lands flat or “dead.”

Now, before you zoom out here, we need to talk about the position of your feet during the throw. Regardless of how you started (feet together or left foot back), you want to have a smooth transition of weight from your right foot to your left foot. When your backswing is at its peak, begin shifting your weight and stepping forward with your left foot. As the climb begins to pass above your knees, you should have most of your weight on your left leg. In this way, your arch depends not only on the muscles of your arm, but also on the spring movement of your body and legs.

The most important part of your swing is tracking. Once you have released the horseshoe, continue with the launch. You will end up with your right arm almost upright in the air and all your weight on your left foot. As with any other sport or skill, tracking can make or break your shots.
