Re: How far are people shooting?

We made a full court 3-pointer on Sunday (yes, yes, video) and went a miraculous 4 for 8 from the feeder station today. Unfortunately no video of that yet, but if we can't replicate it for the camera tomorrow it won't much matter that it happened today.

Generally though, we still intend to shoot from the back of the pyramid through the rungs (we ended the night hitting 12 in a row, and will occasionally miss 1 in 20). We can also hit from a few other places touching the pyramid. It's an arc shooter (<90deg) with a direct drive mini-CIM and a white HiGrip or a custom bike tread on a plaction wheel (we've had success with both--still deciding). 1/2+" compression, in and around a 20deg angle, depending on exactly how we feed into the wheel.
