Answer 4

make sure you take alot of foul shots. foul shots are a great way to improve your shooting. the key to long range shooting is form, so start small with the best form possible and start moving farther and farther back. once you get farther and farther remember these tips. 1. make sure to bend your knees 2. extend your shooting arm (overexagerate) 3. make sure you have a good back spin on the ball 4. have your feet pointed towards the basket.

practice this a few hours a day and your shot will improve

-best of luck  

Answer 5

alright, first of all, get your form down correctly on close shots before attempting a longer range.  The correct form will help in the long run if you start early.  

There is something called "C shooting" where you shoot with one hand, but it really works on your form (feet shoulder width, ankles/ knees/ hips bent at joints, dominant arm forms a C: upper arm is perpendicular to body, forearm makes a right angle and is lined up with your knee, hand is bent backwards with a ball in it.  Therefore it forms a [ - like shape. Finally, follow through completely in one smooth motion as you release the ball.  Make sure you jump straight up and straight down.)  

Take five shots close and scoot back a step, then five more, and scoot back again, etc.  You can do that from different angles.

By not going straight to shooting long threes, you won't gain the habit of chucking up the ball.  Therefore, you can shoot from a longer range and actually make more shots.  

There is also "start position" shooting, which is basically the same, but you add your guide hand and work on shooting it from the pocket.  Still start close on that.  

Lastly, work on it a little bit every day.  It can't get better in just a few hours.  

Oh yeah, and I'm sure everyone's saying this, but exercise!  Not just arm exercises, leg exercises.  A lot of your power will come from your legs.

Best of luck!!!

Play around the world, which is a game that you shoot from everywhere around the court, and have to make a shot to go to the next area.
