The key to shooting far in basketball is being able to generate power from your legs. You can do this by positioning your feet correctly, squatting deeper, and jumping higher. You also need to tweak your shot mechanics for a long shot by adjusting your shot path. You can also improve your shot power with weight training and lots of practice.

Uncoil your body with your legs, core, and arm power all coordinated. Your elbow and wrist should extend in a straight line to the basket. Your shooting hand should extend in a straight line to the rim. Hand position on delivery is very important. The ball should come off the hand with perfect symmetrical backspin.
