Re: Frisbee shooter surface?

We used a shooter made completely from HDPE. This includes the deck (or floor), the rails to provide the semicircular shape, the hopper to hold the disks (that part also included a pickle bucked), and the wheel. This worked great as far as the sliding, shooting and manufacturing goes.

The main problem we ran into was the warping. Even with the aluminum angle support we added under the deck, it still warped throughout the season. This was partly our fault for not adding any of this support until we saw the problem midway though the season.
