I don't want to dillute the thread here... but does your team (does any team?) really think they're going to launch from 45 feet away? I'm not trying to pick a fight, but I think that your definition of precision might be a little optimistic.

At those distances, the angle is 25 and 20 degrees for 45 and 55 feet away respectively. That's +/-5 degrees at that distance. If this was happening at 20 and 25 feet, I would be disappointed.

Feel free to answer honestly: Have I set my personal 'realistic & reliable' shooting distances of 20 feet (absolute max) too low?
