The standard height and weight of a caber in the ancient Scottish sport of men's caber throwing is 10 feet in height and at least 100 pounds.

True or False


I don't know that much about cabers, just from what I have seen and what has been talked about here. But here is what was on my Fact or Crap calendar today.

There is no standard size or weight for a competition caber. The only requirements are that half the competitors must be able to toss it and that it be made entirely out of wood. Most cabers are between 15 and 19 feet and weigh between 110 and 160 pounds. The caber throw - which dates back to the 16th century, when the skill was necessary for Scottish warriors to cross rivers - is judged for accuracy, not distance.
