Description:	So, you think you are a whizz with Doom's weaponry? Think again, hot-shot! Take my clay pidgeon target practice, and get to work on random, fast moving targets! For EDGE, I've given all the standard Doom weapons an alternate-attack which throws a clay target - see if you can hit it before it touches the ground. It's that simple. A high pitched "Bing!" will signify a hit, while a low pitched "bzzt!" will mean you suck real bad ) The only weapon I didn't add a target launcher to is the BFG9000, and even the RL and PG are useless here. Bullet weapons are the easiest to use. Please refer to the hints n' tips section below.

There is no way to launch the stupid targets!	x
Try using alt-fire, dumbass.	x

Auto-aim destroys this mod.	x

I recommend a large outdoor area, like the last part
			  of map 01. Indoors just doesn't have the same effect.

HINTS N TIPS:

For complete incompetent's, I've added two 'cheater'
weapons, on slot 0 - an instant firing accurate pistol,
and an instant firing automatic shotgun.

Be on your toes - targets will be launched in a random array, even behind you!
	
The higher you mouse-look, the farther you'll throw the
target, but I find it's best NOT to look all the way up. About 3/4 is good.

You can easily fire multiple targets - hitting then all is
another story!

A BFG shot will usually clear all those missed targets on the ground.

When in doubt, aim high - try to get your bullet / pellets on the top edge of
the target - works every time!

I would have included a demo, but I didn't feel like being embarrassed..
Let's just say I'm great with the cheater pistol, and leave it at that.
I have managed to hit two consecutive thrown targets
(throw, throw, bang, beep, bang, beep) on more than one occaision!

I recommend using the mouse for aiming / firing (you don't need to move around here)
and binding a keyboard key (l-ctrl) to launch a target.
For more challenge, get someone else to launch the target!

I think EDGE's mouselook should be as free as ZDoom's - way up and way down.

If this gets popular, I'll continue to build on it, so you can get a total
Doom training exercise!

=============================================================================

Anyway, get to work, and if you are really good at this, make a demo!
