We use them for our angles on our shooter mech and they work great. They are rather expensive, but they are worth it.
Ditto on these. Used the 50" SP-series in 2011 and this year so far (just ordered a 25" throw one for this year from their Michigan sales rep. I personally think they're great, and we havent had any problems with them, especially if you buy pre-terminated ones. On the 50, we filtered out a bit of bouncing around in 2011(once you got to the hundredths of a volt). This year, we haven't found the need to do so.
