Nope, they are about 3, 5, and 6 feet long. They are made of spring steel and have 3 snaps at each end.

Yeah, sorry, I thought at first they were 3 separate, tapered lengths, but looked again and realised it’s one long looped steel.
It’s still almost certainly not related to hoops, but I dunno what it is.

It's fine. I figured it would be fun to talk about!
