If you click on the columns on the left of the screen, you will you will have some answers to your questions.
But here are my answers to some of your questions.
Carreau (singular) Carreaux (plural):
You make a carreau when you shoot and hit the opponent's boule and as a result, your boule not only displaces the opponent's boule but also take its place.
Shooting à la rafle:
To shoot à la rafle, you throw the boule on the ground almost like you would do it in bowling so that your boule travels on the ground a few feet before hitting the opponent's boule (or missing it). It is very effective on a hard surface and is easier than shooting au fer. You can make carreaux this way too.
Shooting au fer:
Your boule does not roll on the ground before hitting the opponent's boule. It's a bit like you would shoot the opponent's boule with a rifle. You can make carreaux this way especially on soft, sandy surfaces with or without gravel. Some call that shooting carreaux shouting!!! I call it simply au fer... to the iron.
sèt à ges:
I never heard that.
Milieu:
When playing three against three, the positions or roles are: pointer, shooter and milieu (middle). The best players in the world (mostly French) play milieu. These players can point well and shoot well.
Don't forget to spend some time on th articles on the left end side! LOL
HTH,
Guy
