Position of feet when throwing.

When you say 'throwing' do you mean shooting or pointing or both?

If shooting, there is no definitive right or wrong, every player, including experts is different. As a general guideline, always find a stable position, usually feet slightly apart. Try standing 'square' facing the target boule but be prepared to experiement and vary your stance to suit your style of play.

Some play with feet together, some with either foot slightly forward, some twisted slightly sideways. Find what works best for you.
