My first 100-Round since I've gotten out of my protective boot and back into a normal shoe.  I figured I would bump this topic up rather than start a new one.

Nice slinging.  Good to see you getting around without the boot.

Thanks man!  Getting around does get easier every day.  My foot, ankle, and lower leg still swell up a bit if I over do it.  That slinging session actually got me swelled up quite a bit.  Grin
But overall I think it's helpful.  Even just walking around the yard to pick up the tennis balls gets the foot and ankle moving around.  Things feel nice and loosened up afterward.

I did another 100-Round tonight.  I didn't tally it, but I didn't do nearly as well.  Only the last two rounds were good.  Probably scored in the 60s overall.

I got a new personal record for the 100 Round.  13 meters distance with tennis balls.

Great round!

Once, Toivo and Eino were building a house, but as Toivo worked, he would occasionally throw a nail over his shoulder. When Eino asked why he was being so wasteful, he said, “The heads are on the wrong side!” Eino looked at him and said, “You dummy, those are for the other side of the house!”

Thanks guys.  I keep setting new goals with the 100 Round.  First was to break 100 points.  I've done that a couple times now.  The second was to get fewer than 20 misses, and I got that now too.  The next goal is to get target hits with a full bucket of 20 tennis balls in a row without a miss.  I've had 19 out of 20 a couple times, but always seem to miss one.

I want to score over 150. To do that you need a minimum of half Diana’s .
Also want to score over 100 points at 20m
Been a while since i scored but practice routine. But I might see how I go this weekend

Great slinging all. 50% dianas over 100 shots would be insane but if anyone could do it, it would be you Mersa.

Excellent, Joe. A fun watch.

I'm right there with you, Mersa. 150 would be an amazing feeling 100 ball round!
