Re: Bending alluminum for horseshoe shooter
We didn't bend aluminum. We used lexan that we curved around our shooter. If you'd like, you can add on some kind of traction-paper or paste to the curve to give it more spin than ours had, but ours works just fine smooth.
The lexan was backed by aluminum standoffs to prevent it from straightening out, and it worked perfectly.
Good luck!
