The fastest time to throw 10 soft toys into a target is 7.92 sec, and was achieved by James Rawlings (UK) in Chinnor, Oxfordshire, UK, on 1 June 2021.


James previously held this record title so was keen to make an attempt to claim it back!

This was no easy feat, however. James says that it took a huge amount of training to prepare for the attempt.

"First I spent a few weeks testing different throws and ways to hold the soft toys to enhance speed. Once I had settled on a technique I would spend several hours a day practicing the throws and speed. All in all I spent around 4 months specifically on training for this record attempt."

James' top tip is to maintain concentration and focus even when repeating the same action over and over.

"I made sure to find time with no interruptions and film practice sessions occasionally so I could watch it back and look for problems with my technique."

On the day of of the attempt, there was a problem that, despite all his preparation, James had not anticipated.

"I was setting up some of the soft toys went missing. After a hunt I discovered that the dogs had sneaked in and run away with a few which they hid under a hedge!"

Luckily he managed to retrieve the lost toys and make the attempt, consequently breaking the record.
