From experience I would hand throw in the area that your feeder will eventually throw. I had thrown feed for about a year at the closest point to my house. That was the obvious location so I didn't have to walk all the way around the pond. My bro-in-law bought me a tree-mounted Moultrie feeder for Christmas this year. The only tree that was close enough to the water to mount it to was on the opposite side of the pond. It took my fish a good month before they figured out that the feeding location had moved. A few feet one way or the other shouldn't matter. But I wouldn't move the feeding location all-together like I did unless you have to.
