Yeah, don't worry about cones. If you hit a few, you're just giving corner workers something to do. Don't even worry about a dent in your ego. After your first run you'll realize there's no way anyone can be good at it from the first. After all, if I handed you a boomerang, you wouldn't expect to drop a kangaroo from 700 yards out on the first throw.
