Re: Shooter Survey

Diameter: 4.375", 3" wide, Smooth ABS
Compression: ~2"
Time in Contact: 25-45 degrees, (two position hood).

The wider wheel seemed to have a positive effect on dealing with ball variations, as less pressure is exerted on the balls surface. Having not tested for long times with a narrower wheel, that is only anecdotal.

The smooth ABS, did seem to be a consistency improvement over the previous blue nitrile tread, though at a distance drop, as the ball does slip.

1323 also had success with turning the surface two kit wheels smooth.
