Having read recently a book about technic and tactic in petanque (Marty Christian), I come to the conclusion that most (recreative)players don't shoot often enough - compared with what I read and with what I see watching the Elites players.

I am curious to find out what are the criterias or situations that would make you shoot and also the ones that would keep you from shooting.
TIA,
Guy

One important criterium is your own cabality! That seems obvious, but if you are not able to hit, let's say, at least 4 or 5 boules at 10, shooting makes no sense. But, just like the chicken and the egg, you has to start once!!!

Good luck!
