I've been curious to see what some other folks do to 'shield' their mechanisms as per the rules. Do you plan to cover the wheels more than what is shown or do you feel that the standoffs are adequate?
i think the standoffs are adequate. it is a tough call though.....

as designed there is plenty of room to insert a finger and have it severely mangled. but there is enough room to keep from having the finger wedged. for now the standoffs stay.

there are also other mechanisms near or around the shooter.....these may ultimately provide enough protection from the shooter wheel.
