How it started - the family

The Jeff family and tribal members of all ages all started playing in their backyards at the Santa Rosa Rancheria, Lemoore CA.

Everyone would “sling” the shoes from 40 feet. Slinging from 40 feet was a family tradition that is passed on for generations. Laughter, competition, great food, and amazing family time was spent pitching shoes.

The Slough Slingers were raised watching Big Blue and Uncle Ned Jeff hit the circuit competing and winning tournaments while making new friends. The club name, Slough Slingers, is a tribute to the peaceful slough that runs along the banks of the Santa Rosa Rancheria.

The Slough Slingers launched their first tournament 09-17-22 and blew up the horseshoe pitching world. The Slough Slingers want their guests to experience their family tradition built on a mutual love for the game.
