Re: How far are people shooting?

Our shooter has been tested at 27 feet into the top goal consistently, but we've shot 50+ feet into someone's outstretched arms 7 feet in the air. Need some more testing
So far, some of the most important things We've learned is that:
There has to be a stable, stable back wall.
If it's a circular shooter, more compression tends to shoot it farther.
No skid tape helps a lot.

Our shooter was shooting like 10-15 feet, and it was a bit disappointing. We were about t give up, but we just moved the wheel in like 1/4 in, and it started FLINGING those things out to 40 feet or so.
