Feather bowling is a game played with wooden balls shaped in a similar way to cheese wheels.

[2] The balls are rolled down a trough shaped dirt or synthetic alley towards a feather that sticks out at a spot located approximately six feet from each lane end.

In the United States, scoring points is not dependent on their location in relation to the feather, other than being closer than the opponent's balls.

No extra points are awarded for landing on the feather, which is placed as a visual guide.

[citation needed] There is a yearly championship awarded to the victor of the league at the Cadieux Cafe in Detroit, Michigan.
