Playing distance

Thanks for all the answers.
Am i RIGHT to say that
an opponent can throw the jack from
any distance as long as it is beyond the
6m mininium required distance to start a game
in a competition game.
eg.
He can even draw the circle at the 7m mark
and throw the jack to a distance of
7m as long as the jack is 1m away from the
dead boule line?

sorry for the clarification as i'm new to
the game of petanque and have just notice
the above situation in a recent local
competition and lots of argument on this
by the 2 opponents.

Thank you
