A useful example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
