" 1 " is just over the hog line weight.

" 3 " is just in front of the rings weight.

" 2 " is between the hog line weight and front of the rings weight.

" 4 " is weight enough to stop between the front 12 foot and the front 8 foot of the circle.

" 5 " is weight enough to stop beween the front 8 foot and the front 4 foot of the circle.

" 6 " is enough weight to stop in the front half of the 4 foot.

" 7 " is to be on the button.

" 8 " is enough weight to stop in the back half of the 4 foot.

" 9 " is enough weight to stop between the back 8 foot and the back 4 foot of the circle.

"10" is weight enough to stop between the back 8 foot and the back 12 foot of the circle.

"11" is weight enough to be through the house.

You have to practice until you can throw the desired weight.  You have to throw a " 1 " when it is called for and not a "11."  The closer you get to the desired weight the better.  A " 2 " is much better than a " 10 " when the goal is to throw a " 1."
