Without prevaricating, I managed to throw my cap after a long drive across the room onto my hat stand and then a screwed up piece of paper at my desk and threw it a good ten feet into the bin (and I am still crap at golf, my handicap is still ten). It surprised me.
Do we have PH on here that are good at precision?

I'm fairly handy with a shotgun, and capable with a rifle. Not much good at hat throwing though

Typically I'm hopelessly inaccurate with my aim ("no Seb, that's my nostril"), but I get the odd occasion where I perform a flawlessly accurate punt with something. It's mostly impulsive - I remember sitting in my car having a smoke once while waiting for a friend to draw some money out of the nearby cashpoint. I flicked the smoke, the cherry fell out so I pinged the cigarette towards a nearby bin. The wind must have picked it up, and it sailed cleanly into the opening. Unfortunately I was the only one to witness the throw and so can't brag about it.
One I can brag about is being round a friend's house (he lives on the 8th storey of a flat) and noticing another buddy parking up in the car park below. Said buddy had a convertible, and it was one of the 6 days of the year that we get lovely sunshine, so he had his roof down. I picked up a piece of junk mail and folded it into a paper aeroplane, and hurled it out of the window, aiming at his (balding) head. Immature, but we watched open-mouthed as the aeroplane pirouetted round in circles until it sailed cleanly into Mr Convertible's lap, to which he was plainly perplexed.
(awaits the littering comments)

Same as above. Have occasional moment of excellence. One example; my friend was driving along at about 45, I knew the road we were on and knew of a rubbish bin up ahead. (You know where this is going) I had just finished a packet of crisps which I had folded up into this triangle thing that I do, I put the window down, took aim and slotted it through the 8x14inch slot. I didn't stop laughing for about 3 minutes.

basketball when at school. Crackin 3 pointer shot. Then top 1% of entire uk ACF in 1990/1991/1992/1993 at Wisley competition. Then in top 0.05% of all of Sussex SOU for my duration. Now I get my kicks from seeing a drinks can on the road and just aiming the front tyre to 'nip' it into hedge/oncoming BM driver

A few (cough) years ago I was quick and strong enough to kick an opponent to the head without him seeing it and render him unconscious.You need to be quite precise..

Do we have PH on here that are good at precision? Ding Dong should have said: Following a long drive, and without any preamble, I successfully threw my cap across the room, and onto my hat stand. Later, at my desk, I screwed up piece of paper and threw that a good ten feet directly into the bin.
Do we have any PHers that are good at precision? I am able to rearrange tortured sentences into comprehensible prose.

Yes, I also threw conkers gathered from Hyde Park as a kid from the ceiling in the Albert Hall when playing in the National Brass Band Finals - so that's not a a 'mick' take; but I was a kid at the time on 2nd cornet. The sound baffle discs got in the way. We came Second.

Last year I threw a pen drive to a colleague with his back to me about 20ft away. Then pen drive landed behind his ear and stayed there.
I didn't really mean to do it but it still stands as one to the top 3 things I have done with my life. It was seen by an independent witness as well.

I'd be more worried about a neck injury if his eyes were visible while his back was turned

I'm fair to middlin' - but my daughter is pretty precise and accurate. This is 6 x right hand and 6 x left hand at 35 feet. One missed (hit the right ear) - the other eleven were all within a 5" spread. (the 3 around the logo are a part of the printed logo, not holes). Police issue 9mm Glock 19.
