Sock in a Box

This challenge is all about throwing accuracy. You just need 3 targets to aim into/at which you set out in a line, one behind the other. The furthest target will be worth 5 points, middle target is 3 points and the closest is 1 point. Put down a throw line about 1 big step away from the closest target and place down your 10 sock balls. You then have 30 seconds to get the socks into the targets. After you have thrown all your sock balls, quickly collect up any that are not in/on a target and get back to the throw line and try again before the 30 seconds is up.

Make it harder

Make it easier
