Scott,

Think about stance and body position, it is easier to cast 20ft if you are lower to the ground, but I wouldn't crouch to cast 45ft

hi Marc,

It is for the accuracy part of the casting exam, I found it easier to be upright for the 30 and 45 ft targets but crouched for the 20ft target, you don't have to alter the casting plane as much that way
