Re: Frisbee shooter

We had marginal success with a radiused shooter using similar speeds in the spring, but decided to attempt to recreate team 67's incredible shooter as an offseason development exercise for our new builders. The results were incredible. While it is obviously not the only way to do the job...it works.

Whatever you end up with - don't overlook compression of the discs...that was the biggest factor affecting the performance of our radiused shooter - but it was very difficult to adjust the compression in that configuration...in a linear shooter it's just a matter of moving the fence.
