Shoot the Moon

I had seen as a child a Shoot the Moon game and was intrigued by it but never got the chance to try it. Awhile back I came across the game again and decided to build one. I looked for plans on the web and found some. So Here is my version.
Figured it may make a good conversation piece at our family Christmas party this weekend so instead of fighting over one I made 10. The steel balls came in lots of 5 for some reason. the smaller ball is 7/8" and is harder to maneuver than the larger ball at 1 1/4". I used 1/4" stainless for the rods.
Figured I would give one to my brothers and sisters and the grand kids could play it when they come to visit. The ball is made to go up hill which is 0ne inch higher. Here is a video, not mine, for how it works.
