Re: Wheel shooter gearing

It's at 55 degrees, so theoretical's a bit shorter than that. Plus the digital tach read anywhere from 1800-2000(ish) RPM's. I think I remember the theoretical being in the 30-34 foot range after adjusting with the tach's #'s. During our first tests we were more in the 24-25 foot range. Perfect for the key, but imperfect for our higher-order strategy (though even that strategy is still workable at the current range so we're not in panic mode).
