Shooter pointers

So I was wondering if a few teams can give us some pointers on the shooters? We are starting to attempt to get more distance, but still have some things to work on. (We are shooting 36 ft to the low goal - yet to try the upper goals -we are just getting started .

We have two pneumatic wheels and are a straight shooter. The second wheel is 25% faster than the first via chain and sprocket and we are using two bane bot 550's for shooting through the bane bot cimulator gearbox. We currently have compression to 10.5 inches from the shortest point on the wheel to wall. The frisbee sits lower on the wheel though so we are not getting that much compression. We have wheel tread material opposite the shooter wheels for grip. I forgot to download any pics, but will do that tomorrow.

So any hints teams have found to get their shooter further and or more accurate that we should be looking at?
