This is a fun little thrower. I have arced it from 30+ feet and it still sinks beautifully. In fact, it can sink a little too much. I've had it penetrate the 2" target board and stick deep in the 2' backboard beneath. Sometimes sticks by 2 points and removal can be interesting. Sharpens easily with a mill file. Highly recommend whether you are a rookie or a veteran thrower. Two from one hand can get interesting (and funny) results so I have a 2nd on order.
