ring the bull

a traditional pub game where players attempt to swing a ring attached to a string onto a hook or bull's horn fixed to a wall, aiming for accuracy and skill in landing the ring on the target

Ring the bull is a traditional game where players throw rings, usually made of metal or rope, at a target in the shape of a bull or a similar object. The goal is to get the ring to land around the target, often a peg or a post that is part of the bull's design. Players take turns and score points based on how many successful throws they make. Ring the bull requires precision and focus, as players must judge the distance and aim carefully to land the rings on the target. The game has been enjoyed for many years, especially at fairs.
