Getting a great hockey shooting tarp is a great way to practice, but knowing how to use it is even better.

Practice Where And When You Want To

One of the greatest things about a Sniper’s Edge shooting tarp is that it can be set up in any place that has space. A little brain power can go a long way when you put some effort into it. You can even set it up outside between two trees. Because it gets suspended by the top rings it is easy to hang and use within a short time. This way you have more time to shoot goals and spend less time setting things up.

Practice Drills

Get a stick and practice shooting them one by one as you quickly move towards the end of your line. This drill will help you to develop speed, agility, and accuracy Continue to repeat this exercise over and over until you get tired of it. Then do it again. Knowing how to shoot and score points is how you dominate the game and win.

Setup Outdoors

When you step back out on the ice and in a game, the muscle memory will kick in and you will be unstoppable.
