So this is kind of one of those funny measurement things. Do you really care what the absolute angle of your shooter was? No, probably not. What you cared about was A. the frisbee going into the goal and B. the shooter being in that same spot everytime.
For this, the app on my phone gave a very repeatable result for us. The actual angle it was measuring was probably not extremely accurate, but we didnt care. We knew what number the app spit out that put the discs in the goal. The consistency came from a very heavily iterated shooter design (we built 8 complete shooter systems over the course of the season).
