I did 652.

Ok I fouled. But there is this huge wall at the other end of the island.  
and there is a thread on this game somewhere else already.

When I foul, it just throws the spear for me. How can you foul and get that far?

If someone doesn’t explain this game to me soon I’m gonna cry. ☹

530.93 on a throw I didn’t think would make 400. 534.512 on a throw I fouled because of my big toe.

Shortest? .02. Yeah, that’s right, two hundredths of a foot. I actually got one to land behind the marker where you gotta throw.
