It’s called, "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by Fuel. Oh,oh, and I get a little lucky sometimes. LOL I practiced for a few hours on my new throwing station yesterday and then went to the casino. My shot looked beautiful and I won money. I’m loving my shot. It would be nice to have someone to play along with at this casino. I had an asian lady walk up beside me before I started my toss and she put down $200.00 on me. She tripled her money within the 1st 5minutes of the roll. She smiled while trying to give me money. I told her it wasn’t necessary and she should keep her money. She left that casino extremely happy. It was nice to see someone smile and be so happy. She kept asking me if I thought I would hit the point number. No answer from me. I just concentrated on hitting good numbers. I was not concerned with any questions while trying to roll them bones. Good luck/skill everyone. Thanks Dom and everyone for my table!

started with my dad and his sport shop. When i was a kid we used to
spine the wooden arrows and i would watch him make them and watch
him tie the flys for fishing… seems like a hundred years ago.
Last year my mom brought over a newspapaer articule that indicated
he was the first person in Wisconsin to take a deer and bear and the same
season with a bow. I did not know that before.
My wife and that Asian women have something in common.
My wife said if it were not for me she would not have to cook. clean or
wash clothes…. so see i have a purpose in life.
That asian women told me one day if i would learn to throw better she
could make some money and stop working.
It is a small world

Archery is much more than pin point accuracy. It requires doing the same exact thing every shot for thousands of shots in a row, just like dice control. It requires patience,waiting for hours for that nice buck to work his way down the trail towards you only to arrive after dark. Just like going to the casino and waiting hours for your spot to open only to leave and try again another day.
It requires a mental toughness to perform your best against hundreds of others in competition, or being able to stand in against an Alaskan brown bear at just a few yards away. The mental toughness to remain calm in the face of an angry box man.
I could go on and on but, the lessons learned in most sports such as archery,basketball,baseball, bowling,golf, shooting,and other sports are lessons needed to be successful at dice control.

Thanks for the answers. Those were great stories about how you got your starts in archery and I enjoyed them. Could tell that they brought back happy memories for you as we’ll.
No Goldfinger, I wasn’t trying to say that archery and shooting are ONLY about pin point accuracy. I was just suggesting that their may be a correlation between how accurately you guys hit your landing zone due to lots of training of your eyes in this area as youths. Now most people who have done any sport have pretty good hand eye coordination but if I am an inch off while throwing a softball then I am not so upset as the target is big and it can be adjusted slightly to assist in the catch. I think the smaller the ball/item and the smaller the playing field then the more accurate your shot has to be so maybe you all have trained the eye to a more accurate degree.An inch off with the dice can make a difference in hitting chips or having different faces show up. Can anyone learn to target accurately? Yes, I think they can with lots of practice but maybe that is one small area where you already have a leg up. It is only one small but important piece of our toss. These are just my mental musings and they may be somewhat accurate or way off base. Just found the correlation interesting so thought I would point it out. I say play to your strong tendencies! 🙂
