arc ...

in other words don't throw directly away from her, at least not very often

eventually earn bragging rights .. give her nice long arcs to watch and

One other thing ... get the dummies that have a rope hole and add rope long
enough ( I'm too lazy to go measure one ) to just drag the ground when she
carries it with head nice and pretty. Use the end of the rope as your
grip and toss with a flick instead of muscle, much like technique vs muscle
with a fly rod and you'll be able to toss farther and more accurately ....
