	Heavy Athletics
		The caber is a tapered log approximately 19 feet long and weighing 100 to 130 pounds (These weights and measurements vary at different games depending on the field of athletes and the terrain).
		If the caber is 'turned' it will be scored with its final position relative to the face of a giant clock, 12:00 being a perfect score.
		If the caber is grounded but doesn't turn, it is scored by the degree it rose from the ground.

		Tossing the caber is easily the most recognisable trademark of Scottish Highland games and is one of the most spectacular of the heavy events.
		The origins of caber tossing are unknown although it has been suggested that it was developed by foresters for throwing tree trunks into the river.
		The athlete rests the caber against his shoulder and, clasping his arms around it, performs the difficult task of lifting it up off the ground whilst keeping it perfectly balanced.

	Caber toss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are no uniform standards for cabers specifying length, weight, type of wood, density, circumference, etc. In general, the cabers used in competitions vary in all these characteristics with each Highland Games event having their own set of cabers.
		Typically, a Highland Games event will have several cabers varying in length and weight, with the longer, heavier implements being used for the Professional or top class event and the shorter, lighter cabers being used for either qualifying for the top class or for the Amateur class.
		It is not unusual for a caber to break in the course of a competition.

		Posted - 07/17/2003 : 2:21:34 PM Rachelle- go (start your pull) a little earlier -long stix need momentum(run up) and an early pull- don't wait -go as soon as you get set and make sure you are using your hips first -then finish w/ arms way overhead- practice,practice,....
		Posted - 07/17/2003 : 9:15:23 PM which is why i said you should not run any faster than you can stop in 3 steps because you cannot pull early if caber is 3 feet off your shoulder because you took 8 steps to stop.

	Helmsdale Highland Games - Events - The Caber
		The dimensions of a caber - or cabar in Gaelic - can vary enormously but the norm weighs about 150lbs (68kgs), is 18 feet (5.5m) long and about 9 inches (23cms) thick at one end, tapering to about 5 inches (l3cms) at the other.
		The largest caber recorded in the Guinness Book of records is 25ft (7.62m) and 280lbs (127kg).
		In some games, if the caber was not thrown, an old-fashioned two-handed, crosscut saw would be brought on and the heavies would saw an inch off the caber until one of them threw it.

		Speed is a double-edged sword: the faster you go, the more kinetic energy the caber has (so the less you need to add with the pull), but the less time you have to squat and pull.
		One other tip: if the caber is leaning strongly against your shoulder (but not crushing you), you can speed up as much as you like, then squat when you feel like it, rather than suddenly having to squat.
		Since the caber has to stand up before it falls forward, you have more time to squat and pull this way.

	Scottish Heavy Athletic Events
		Tossing the caber is easily the most recognizable trademark of Scottish Highland games and is one of the most spectacular of the heavy events.
		The caber used at some Highland games weighs over 150lbs (70kgs) and is 17ft 4ins (5.3m) long.
		Games organizers strive for consistency in the weight of their caber and because timber dries out and becomes lighter, they will often soak the caber in a convenient loch for some days before their annual games or, bore holes in it and fill them with molten lead!

	How to Caber (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I have seen guys losing control of a caber on their first time out, ignoring the advice of judges, athletes and by-standers to drop it and get clear, and then against all laws of physics, muscle the stick back up in the air, using their shoulder as the fulcrum.
		My caber was close enough to a Master's class size and weight that about eight years ago I got an actual recorded turn in one competition, so the practice was worth it.
		But in 2000 I donated the caber the the SAAA in honor of Cletus Abbot, who did so much to encourage beginning athletes.
