With eyeball precision, the pitcher lines his shoe with the peg 40 yards away. Aim is detailed. The arm swings and the horseshoe swings across the pit to ping against the peg.
It’s a point scored for the winning team.
The ping, ping of horsehoes against peg rang across Chester Gap last Saturday morning, as the sixth annual horseshoe tournament sponsored by the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department, drew horseshoe tossers from around Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper and Warren counties.
Twenty-two teams gathered to toss their shoes in the double elimination tournament, played with firehouse supplied horseshoes and pegs. Old men, young boys, practice-perfect players, champions and losers, paired up with team members to toss for the three trophies for first, second and third place, awarded at the end of the day.
