Yes, it's very simple. Start with feet a little more than shoulder width apart.... and leave them there, creating what is known as the "STAND" and toss.

Hey there. I start with my left shoulder towards the bar about 4 steps
from the bar. I cast the weight up towards the bar spin under it and
then it's really kind of a shrug-throw from that position. If it goes
over, raise the bar higher!

This is demonstrated pretty well by Daryl's THIRTEEN YEAR OLD daughter
