That’s a ton of slinging and to keep detailed notes on it is pretty amazing. When the great CoronaPox of 2020 has passed do you plan on doing some longer range stuff? . Sarosh did some fantastic videos of a similar nature if you haven’t seen them yet you might give them a look.

I rarely keep track of my actual "score" which is something I probably should do more often. Even during the competition I didn't keep a very good track

I live in the city. So not exactly sure how I am going to sling at longer distances. I am working on a target that I can hopefully hang up on a basketball court fence at the local park. Currently not allowed in public parks yet. Hopefully that will change.

Great video!
So many questions...
How much time did you spend slinging to get to 20,000 shots?
Do you use the same target for everything? Or do you change it up?
Do you always focus on hitting the bullseye? Or do you change what you are focused on doing? (For example: working on body form, precision over accuracy, rate of fire, throwing style, etc.)

I try to get in 350 shots a day which takes about an hour.

I live in a small apartment so very limited used the same target for everything.

I always aim for the Bulls Eye but I pick one thing each day to work on. Mostly body form stuff there is so much of it to get consistent.

I have made a target I can hang up on the basketball court fence in the park.

You might want to try setting up two or three bullseyes 6-12” apart so you can practice making small adjustments left/right or up/down.
