I presumed that the angle for the was small... I was incredibly wrong. With that setup, he has 60° of shooting, and the goalie has a distance of 20 feet to guard (assuming that they are a perfect spot. Even being in the general are gives them 10-15 feet along the goal in which they can shoot. This just seemed so small to me, but now this area is large and effective. Thank you
