Re: Curved Shooter help
We have our curved shooter set up like this.
Direct drive mini CIM driving a 4 7/8 in banebots GREEN wheel.
We keep the rpm down to 4500 and easily shoot from behind the pyramid and much further. We use about 3/8 inch compression which humps the disk up about 1/2 inch. We use a progressive compression. At entry to the shooter there is only about 1/8 inch and at max it is about 3/8. Shot to shot is something like .4 seconds or less. Yes, the green banebots get eaten up but the funny thing is it does not seem to matter. New wheel or half eaten up wheel shoot to the same place from the pyramid. We do have a "few" extra wheels just in case.
Our frisbee wall is 1/4 inch laser cut polycarb with a rubber U channel over it for grip. There is a wider piece over the top to keep the frisbee from walking up and we angle the wheel down about 3 degrees at the exit. This keeps the bee from turning to one side.
Hope that helps.
