When I started 5 months ago, I couldn't hit my catchbox 5 times out of ten! Have been working at 45 ft lately ( metric that's a little over a meter and short of a km) . Then I moved catchbox back to 33 ft and I'm hitting about 6 or 7 out of 10. One day I hit my beer can 11 in a row and thought i was channeling Bill Hays or something. I miss that feeling from playing basketball way back when..... that feeling of auto-pilot, when the ball has eyes and seeks out the target.
Bottom line, I'm having a ball and all you guys on the forum have been a great help to me.... thanks!

That's the feeling, isn't it?
You actually know that a particular shot is going to hit the target on release.

I remember my father saying how a basketball player for instance might say "I knew the ball was in the moment it left my hands."

I usually shoot from 15 metres on a cd sized target(because cd´s make good templates draw around and have a bulls eye too)which is about 12,5 cm / 5".
last evening i managed to get all my 12 balls onto a 20by30cm / 8"by12" sheet of cardboard and ten of them inside the
5" circle - 7 of which even all through a spot slightly beneath bulls eye that tore a big hole, so i had to count them out since there were no other impacts and all 12 balls were in the catchbox afterwards.
