bowl is a
solid iron cannonball uh seven inches circumference and it weighs 28 ounces uh
there
are two or more players or teams in a match the one with the fewest shots to
the finish line wins
if two players or teams approach the finish line with equal shots the winners
decide about
which throw goes farther past the finish line wow you should have played this
