Welcome to Gaia! ::

I love rifle. Strength is key. Strength can be pretty you just have to know how. My rifle was the heaviest of the team. (no joke) if you could do a triple with my rifle you could do a quad and up with anyone elses. Do yourself a favor if you have ANY fingernails cut them off now. They will be broken off in a matter of seconds. Speed control is everything. It's very easy to suddenly go really fast. But if you can't control it you might hurt yourself or someone else. (trust me been on both sides of that.) but don't sweat it. Just have fun.

Mine is the heaviest out of all the rifles too.

They got all brand new rifles and I have to use this old one with no padding on the ends and 20 thousand layers of tape. D;

Wear gloves!!
It's gonna hurt after awhile from slapping it on your hands.

keep your energy the same while locking and relesing. . . locking is the most important part of the toss. . . besides youknow accually catching it cause that helps too

Wrap you thumbs on every catch!!!
And if your anything like me you'll find the left hand glove much more usefull than the right so try to make sure that one has a lot of padding because when you wrap your hand around the tip it tends to smack that hand hardest.
When you spin try to only use you forearm and wrist. Wrist flexibilty will also help you with tosses.
Try not to bend your knees when you catch and always be aware of you free hands. You'll look pretty stuipid under a toss if your hands look retarded so ask your instructor where your hands should be under a toss because it varies with different instructors. umm also be prepared to break some nails and never spin with fake ones. Trust me its painfull.
I've also noticed good posture helps.
Also heavier rifels are easier to throw because they are less likely to get caught in the wind but lighter rifels are easier to do work with.


yeah thats all I remember.
