In curling what does coming around the horn mean?

Answer 1

Coming "around the horn" is when the shooter rock hits 4 or 5 rocks that are set up in a curve facing the top of the house at such an angle that the shooter changes direction so it travels back towards the hog line. I'll try to draw you a picture.[The "o" are rocks, the lines are the travel path, the "@" is where the rock could/would stop and the "*" is the button (for Orientation.)] O I I * @ O\ __ /O O O Hope this helps :)
