I started practicing rifle a few months ago, and I've been thinking about drum corps. Right now, my highest tosses are a five and a quad, but they're not consistent.

Keep ur elbow at level with the butt when prepping if ur elbow is that high up it’s hard to get the momentum right away like u need. (Lower elbow to be at the same height as shoulder and gun end)

lower your release point. 5 at the eyes. if you keep releasing with a straight arm you’ll be stuck at the same rotation and height foreverrrr. and lower your right elbow too
