Default Reg (field goal size)?

Hey reg,


exactly how wide and tall are the field goals you have for the DFW, Coach j gave me an idea to make some out of card board just to pratice with.


also, you can attempt a field goal as long as you cross your oppenents 40yl or is it mid-field(dont have the rule book in front of me)


thanx

mantaraydre

The longest field goal in NFL history is 63 yards if I'm not mistaken, therefore that is the longest field goal you can attempt.

Thumbs up

Mataray-Dre,

Having seen Coach J's idea in action, I think it's pretty cool & makes it fairly easy to determine made field goals.

Default The Goal Post are as wide ...

as the Tudor Goal post were. They can be as high as 3-4 feet tall. The reason being is because you have some kickers who kick very high and a rule of thumb, even though it seems unreal in electric football, is that as long as the ball splits the upright, no matter what the height is, it is still considered good by NFL standards.

We try to take away such arguments in games because balls may travel so high in such a short distance and we want to get the call right. What I will do is take one of my company products, "The Net" and measure the distances and I will show it on this site.

Hey guys thanks for the kind words regarding the FG's. In reality I can't take credit for that because I got the idea from the LA guys after watching there DVD of The Show.

Reg I will call you probably tomorrow when I get off from work.

Coach J

Could You Please Post a photo of the field goal or piece of equipment that you have developed? I use a plastice field goal that i purchased from Guttmann and i added a net to it so the football would be caught when it splits the uprights....i will post a picture later......very nice though ...thanks Mike
