Can we THROW through the feeder slot?

The slot is really just big enough for the disks, to the point that several people got them stuck in there a bit when trying to push them through.

Wow. How exactly did they get them stuck? All I can imagine is that the far lip of the disc rubbed up against the top of the slot as they pushed down the close end of the disc, and since the stuff is polycarb I find it hard to believe that the friction would be strong enough to do that.

As Trent said, the slots themselves are 12" wide and 3" tall. The 8 inches refers to the length, or depth, of the tube that it has to pass through as it goes into the field.
