This is an attempt at making a good faq for the game of petanque. All questions that are directly related to the game and it's basic rules should be included here. The questions and answers are meant for beginners - so please keep it easy to understand for non-players.

(Stig, if you're reading this - how about a Coaching section...)
Dear Jef,
You first need to make sure your basic shooting technique is sound: grip of the boule, stance, aim, release and follow-through, etc. Ideally you need a coach or experienced player who can advise you, otherwise a video or book.
There are many different training exercises to try, e.g:
- shooting a single boule at different distances
- place 3 boules in a row and shoot the middle boule, both in-line and side-by-side
- use a tyre and practise lobbing into it. This develops a good lobbing style needed for shooting.
- place target boules on a wooden block. This forces you to be accurate!
- draw a circle and place 6 boules inside, 3 are yours, 3 against. Practise shooting the against boules.
- place 3 boules in a triange and try and shoot 2 boules with 1.
I'm sure there are lots more, but these are good basics to try and pracise.
Good luck!
