Slow night tonight at work. We have a hoop setup outside at the hangar where i work. Its pretty well lit area, in fact some places its hard to shoot because of the lights. Anyways, myself and a co-worker decided that we would shoot 1,000 free throws to get a percentage.

I made 833 out of 1,000 giving me a percentage of 83%. With no breeze outside i think it was an accurate percentage. We took turns attempting 500 free throws each, so there was a break in between. I think if i were to play in a league the percentage would drop due to fatigue. It's a bonus to be able to stand in one spot for 500 shots while you have a person to fetch your makes and rebounds. I've always been a pretty good shooter. My only problem is that i'm left handed and dribbling to the right is difficult for me.

I don't know if 100 shots is enough to get an accurate reading, but i'd love to hear what you guys come up with. Plus its pretty good exercise too.
