Petanque shooting competition last part.

Other factors to take into account to get a correct set up,The target boule should be an identical diameter of 74mm, weight 700 gms and are smooth. They should be of light colour. The target jack should be 30mm in diameter and have a light colour. Obstacle boules should be 74mm, weight 700 gms and are smooth. They should be of a dark colour. You need 1 circle 1 meter diameter with hooks or nails 4 circles of about 50 cms in diameter with hooks or nails. Maximum score for the series 100 points.

It is a team game. You maybe allowed help and assistance from a team mate or coach standing along side the exercise to return the boule. General notes. When practicing always, always step back on each task. Even if you miss to create the reality of the competition. No second shots at the 6 m task. A miss and it is straight back to 7m then 8. Tough but it is a difficult task.

The key to the task is practice and when it is all going horribly wrong in front of people, slow down and take your time. Twenty points are waiting for you with the jack task, be in no hurry to get there!  So it may take a moment to set up but it will be worth it to try your skill. Good luck.
