Your tip is interesting, we can see the track of the disc heading out and atleast on our shooter they want to track out early. We think part of the consistency of this shooter, is that we do not try and constrain the disc at all.

As as the accuracy going way at the end of MSC, we think either the other wheels are wearing down now (losing grip) or the doors they opened up to allow teams not in the elims to clear out of the pits, may have been creating a tiny amount of draft that may have influence the long shots. Who knows?

We will be replacing the shooter wheels at the start of Champs, I'll keep my fingers crossed that it continues to shoot well.

We have verified on our practice field that drafts have a large effect on our shots. Even our up close ones.
