Reply #2 - Aug 22^nd, 2020 at 12:59pm I am shooting indoors. 10 shots at a time that all land close to each other.... Not so hard to keep track. If I was mostly practicing outside then yes I guess that would get hard.

Nice shooting Shakli! It’s fun to watch your improvement in such a compressed timeframe. It takes some people years to make the progress you’ve made in months.

...and yes, like any sport, once the basic motions are down, it becomes a head game.

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

One thing that is interesting to note is that the further back you go, the more relaxed with your throwing power you become. You throw much harder at 10m than at 30m. This could certainly have something to do with the consistency that you observed. I like throwing hard, but if I dial back the power just a bit, my consistency does seem to improve after a bit of mental recalibration. Glad to see you are continually improving!

So true been playing with this a little. If I take some slow breaths before shooting to really calm down accuracy goes up....

I was just looking for a way to track progress. Could have easily have chosen hours practiced. In hindsight that probably wold have been a better and easier way to go. But started with this so will keep with it.

Since I could not hit the target at 30m last time I tested yes was so concentrated on technique that I forgot about power. Now that I seem to have my basic form working I think I will spend the next 10k throws working on finding how hard I can throw without hurting my arm. Problem with power is that it makes me want to get every little bit I can out of the throw and our arms cant handle it over many repetitions. I am going to have to pay very very close attention to how my arm feels after every throw.
