\nFinally it looks like I will get some playing time. Stations set up in home office, and practice again. Not as bad as I thought it would be. As usual shot seems too hard. On old board there was a post using a rod to cross over the sides of rec. station. I didn’t write this stuff down naturally. Distance from bw and heighth from top of table is needed. <\/p>\n

\tI started with pvc plastic cap as target, then smaller cap. Now use a small round (punched out) pc. of paper as target. No recorded SRR, only reaction of dice. I have a marked off area in front of the back wall that I try to have the dice stop. Need softer throw, and I think the rod would help. As Randman said during the refresher, " just drop it over the top.."<\/p>\n

\tIt is nice to have a place to go for encouragement, and good critical replys. This being a Dad again is really an ALL comsuming job. Wow.<\/p>\n

\tShoot with passion…and make room for me at the table!

If the dice are to hard then there is a chance that you are opening up your hand and not lettng the dice pull out on there own!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bman, I think I may also be releasing my thumb, then letting dice roll off tips…maybe? This is why I needed the darn elite video in Oct last year.<\/p>\n

\t Right now the dowel rod across my rec. station is helping.<\/p>\n

\tThanks,

Remember that if you are not feeling the dice pull off of your thumb before they roll out of your hand they will have a much larger amount of energy to deal with.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bman, [b]YEP! It is amazing…before I had to take a break from playing, I felt I was razor sharp. Time away from practice certainly lets you know how fragile our capabilities are.
\n\t I did miss practice, but mainly I missed interaction with this group.<\/p>\n

\t Thanks for the help bman.<\/p>\n

\t I found out my wife has a secret trip planned for my birthday. I need to be ready. FOUR days somewhere.<\/p>\n

\t Acting surprised, and getting ready to play!
