Throwing Bulu
打布鲁
Bulu means to throw in Mongolian. Bulu is made of wood with the shape of sickles. It appeared 1,300 years ago. But the Bulu at that time was used to hunt and kill the enemy. Then it developed gradually to a sport game to build up the body and liven up the cultural life of the people. Now Bulu is the necessary competitive event in the annual Nadam Fair and is printed in the ethnic sports textbook of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regions.
布鲁即蒙语投掷的意思。布鲁是木制的，形状有些像镰刀。早在1300多年前，布鲁就已出现了。不过那时的布鲁还只是作为打猎和歼敌的武器，渐渐地它才成了一项锻炼身体、活跃群众文化生活的体育运动。现在布鲁不但是每年那达慕大会不可少的比赛项目，还被别人自治区民族体育教材中。
Bulu has two kinds of competitive methods: distance throwing and target throwing. The ground and apparatus are very simple for the two kinds of competitions. The distance throwing has two ways: to throw on horseback and on foot.
布鲁分投远和投准两种，两种比赛的场地和设备都比较简单，投远又分马上和步行两种。
The ground of distance throwing resembles to that of javelin. The target throwing has a ground of rectangle of 750m2. At one end of the two a throwing line is drawn and three round posts are set as targets 30 meters away from the line. The posts are 50 centimeters high with a top diameter of 4 centimeters and bottom diameter of 6 centimeters. The intervals between the posts are 7 centimeters.
投远的场地和标枪的场地大致相仿。投准的场地则为一块750平方米的长方形平地，一端划一掷线，距离30米处设三根圆形木柱为投准目标，桩高50厘米，上端直径4厘米，下端直径6厘米，木桩间隔7厘米。
Competition: no matter it is the distance throwing or the target throwing, each player has three opportunities with three bulus each time. The time is no more than 30 seconds. There is no restraint on the postures. The measurement: the places of the players in the list are decided according to the distances they do or the times they hit the target about the target throwing.
比赛方法：不论投远还是投准，每人均三次为限，每次设三个布鲁，时间不得超过30秒。投掷姿势不受限制。计分方法，投远以所投距离远近决定名次，投准则以得分多少决定胜负。
