This sounds like something from Ripley's Believe it or Not. Coke Bowker submits this amazing story, and claims it to be true...
"The greatest horseshoe 'pitching' exhibition that I have ever witnessed was performed by a young black man passing through Meadowbrook Park during an Ironbenders tournament. I must have had a bye, because I was messing around the sand courts, away from everyone else.
Four or five young men strolled up to me, and a young black man with no arms asked me, "Can I try that?" I said, "Sure, come on." He was barefoot. So he proceeded to take a horseshoe with his left foot and then placed the horseshoe onto his right foot. Then, kicking the shoe toward the stake from thirty feet, barely missing the stake. Repeating the process, he slammed on a DEAD RINGER with the second shoe!
Then, he turned to me and said, "Can I try it from there?" There being from forty feet. He promptly kicked on TWO PERFECT RINGERS, and started to walk away. I said, "Man, I've got to shake your foot or something!"
I am still impressed, and I have never see the young man again. This is a true story, and I am not the only Ironbender to witness that marvelous feat. No pun intended. I never got the young man's name. I surmised that he must have been a Thalidomide Baby."
