20. A method of playing a tossing game comprising the steps of
(a) providing playing equipment including a first pair of propelling sticks for a first player and a second pair of propelling sticks for a second player and a ring member tossable between the first players and first propelling sticks; - and the second player and second propelling sticks, each propelling stick including a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the distal portion includes a first end disposed relatively closer to the proximal portion, and a second end disposed relatively further from the proximal portion, the ring member including a radially inwardly facing portion defining a central aperture,
(b) causing the central aperture of the ring member to receive the distal portions of each of the first pair of propelling sticks, so that the ring member is disposed relatively closer to the first end of the distal portion than the second end of the distal portion, (c) having the first user hold the proximal end of each of the first pair of ring member containing propelling sticks in a manner wherein the respective first ends of the distal portions of the propelling sticks are relatively closer together than the respective second ends of the propelling sticks, (d) having the user move the position of the propelling sticks to a launch position wherein the second ends of the distal portion of the propelling sticks are relatively more closely positioned than the respective first ends of the distal portions in a manner wherein the application of force by the propelling sticks against the radially inwardly facing portion of the ring member causes the ring member to move in a direction from the first ends of the distal portions to the second ends of the distal portions, and ultimately become launched off the second ends of the distal portions of the propelling sticks so as to become airborne.
- and the second player and second propelling sticks, each propelling stick including a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the distal portion includes a first end disposed relatively closer to the proximal portion, and a second end disposed relatively further from the proximal portion, the ring member including a radially inwardly facing portion defining a central aperture,
