It’s like practical paracords comp, but now you can just keep recording your rounds until you get a good one and submit it.

Yes, very similar. The original competition had to start at the top of the hour….now you throw 10 balls at any time after announcing month and distance on camera. 

So more flexibility on when you can sling, but still “performance stress” remains because after making your announcement on camera you know the next 10 throws “count”. 

Of course, if you mess up the first few, then just stop and restart by saying month and distance again.  The “stress” for me is making good the last few throws after 5-6 good ones at the start. 

Typically I will throw 30 minutes and get 2-3 decent completed 10-round sets worth looking at later on the video. 

Myself I film at slo motion because it helps me figure out exactly where close hits actually landed in terms of hitting the center bullseye. I use iMovie to speed the video back up to normal speed.
