Shooter Problem - Chief Delphi

If I was making this I would want to not have to use anything smaller than a 3/16" end mill, but 1/8" would be acceptable. Anything smaller and I'd tell the designer to go play in traffic. - Cory [more]

Having played with a similar setup this is almost certainly the problem. Gaffer's tape on the arc worked really well, if you don't have any of that masking tape would probably work about as well. We're going to try hockey tape tomorrow.
