Absolutely nothing joe.
I can see nights on the mead ending in armoured battles, lucky I live so far away otherwise we would have way to much fun.

Yes!  Awesome!  The miss attempts are so funny.  Mine was the same way.  So many misses, and so many misses on the second throw.

I've almost got the third one ready.  There is one last throw and I just cannot get two in a row.  I'd just say heck with it, but the two in a row has become kind of the thing for these.  I'm going to try again tonight.  Here's hoping.

Bounce bounce, had the same thing as kick in the first few throws but then I found a good spot to aim for and they almost landed in my hand.

Alright man!  We've got this going!

I didn't get a chance to try to complete the third one tonight.  Definitely tomorrow though.  At least an attempt.  I like it because I actually don't know if I'll get it.

If anyone else has any ideas, feel free to put them out there.

The biggest problem I had was using the cupboard door. They kept hitting the handle and the edge of the door, but it was literally the only usable corner in our flat.

I got it!  It's basketball time gentlemen!

No ball, no problem.  Grab a rolled up sock or whatever you have.  No basket, no problem.  Grab a bag, box, or empty garbage can.  Hang it from a door, set it up on a table, use whatever you have!

The long shot is the big one for this challenge.  I was standing about 16 feet (4.8 m) from my basket, but no set distance.  Do what you can with the space you have.  This one was a lot of fun!

Oh boy does that look hard. Good job on getting two shots, because I'm wondering how I'm going to do one!

You are correct!  I've got at least a couple hours into throwing that long shot.  Embarrassed

It was most frustrating a few days ago because I would make the first shot and the second wasn't even close.  I felt much better yesterday because the second shots were bouncing off the rim or hitting the net.  I could see I was getting very close.

Here is my basketball indoor challenge no3 submission.
I started with a smaller “basket” but I was hours into it without even one going in so I made a bigger target so I could do the double.

Holy crap man!  Into a cup!  Shocked
That was an incredible attempt.  The switch to the bucket was definitely more in line with what I was picturing.  Nice slinging! Smiley
