Re: Curved Shooter help

Is your smooth sliding surface supported on the back side with curved aluminum flat stock? How rigid does this need to be (eg. does your sliding surface flex between support brackets)?

Does your last part of the shooter change the angle of the release (eg. looks like it slopes up at the end)? It looks like your Delrin (or other material) across the end of the shooter slopes down from the sliding surface towards the wheel? Is this because the disc when compressed climbs the outside sliding surface?

What area of the disc should contact what surface of the wheel? It looks like the bottom 1/2" in of disc edge is contacting below the center line (highest point) of the wheel. Is that correct?

What is the purpose of the plastic post just in front of the wheel?
