Shooting the discus and shot put is challenging. Each athlete has a different and perhaps unpredictable ritual, but the real challenges are safety and sitelines. Getting down range can be dangerous while the protective fence around the circle creates a visual barrier that occasionally inhibits autofocus if it's enabled. But this throwing circle at Gray-New Gloucester High School had a perfect lens sized hole about 18 inches off the ground. With right handed throwers I was safe from even the most errant of throws.
