By decent speed, do you mean balls/second or the time it takes for the balls to get from the shooter to the trailer? (Line drives sure would be fun to watch!) We are firing at about 4 balls/second.

Ours is quite similar. However, we agree its more further than necessary.
Very easy for us without going against a mobile target. Now that's another story.

Week 1 of regionals this year will be more anticipated by spectators than ever before for those participating in subsequent events.
