Horseshoes

Horseshoes is a gambling game which can be played in Red Dead Redemption. Towns in which you can play Horseshoes are marked on your map with a horseshoe symbol.

Rules
Horseshoes is an outdoor game played between two people using four horseshoes and two throwing targets (stakes) set in a sandbox area. The game is played by the players alternating turns tossing two horseshoes a turn at stakes in the ground, which are traditionally placed 40 feet apart. You must bet money and the larger the bet, the harder your opponent will be. The score goes to 11 and you must win by 2 points. You get 3 points for a ringer. You get a point if you have one horseshoe closer to the stake than both of your opponents horseshoes, two points if both of your horseshoes are closer than your opponent's.

Instructions
Horseshoes can seem random and frustrating if you do not know how to aim and throw. Here are some simple instructions that should allow you to succeed.

1) Make sure you are aiming every throw. Zoom in and make sure the peg is between the two sides of the shoe.

2) Swing back and forth. How hard you press the stick and when you let go of it matters when determining strength.

3) Try to let go right in the middle as your release point determines the angle of your throw.

Timing release controls the angle (which can be important) but the swing is even more important. Of course, luck matters most of all.

Don't skip to your turn, the AI does worse when you watch them, if you skip they will more than likely get all three on the sand.
