In this video, you will notice the Frisbee flies out of the shooter at an angle. I have seen this happening in videos, but it wasn't noticeable in our prototype. While it may not be an issue for most, it can make scoring a bit tougher.

When you find a way to solve the issue (which I think you will), I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one eagerly awaiting to know what causes the "off angle" exits of Frisbee. Much appreciated if you don't mind.
