This is a link to our web site page with a write up on our surgical tubing shooter with a winch pull back. Some pictures to show what we did. Our shooter is an example of what happens allot in first. It was week 5 with no pull back solution and the pneumatic approach was going no where. Dead end. We took an AM shifter that had been used in a previous year and rigged it up. It's not perfect but the whole system - Roller intake, shooter, swerve worked very well. Looking back, if we had to design this again and had the time, I would have gone with a ball lock release mechanism.
