You did really well !!!!

9.) You are trying for maximum distance. can you come up with a simple formula for determining the approximate length of your shoot when knowing the amount of line carried on your last back cast ?
Back cast length x 1.333 = total forward cast length.
I HAVE NOT HEARD OF THAT FORMULA.....I'LL TRY IT AND SEE. (DO YOU HAVE A REFERENCE FOR IT ?)
From a recent a thread I know the maximum shoot is 50% but for ME - it is a personal number. I seem to only shoot 1/3! You did ask "determining the approximate length of your shoot "
I'VE USED: 50% OF THE LINE CARRIED FOR THE LENGTH OF THE SHOOT. (THAT'S THE VALUE I ASKED FOR IN THE QUESTION.)
