Very similar, if not the same to this:

Would you mind sharing a photo of your shooter and how this foam was implemented? (I am having a tough time visualizing it)

This is the best picture I could find

You can see the black foam on the inside of the shooter rails at the end of the arc. That runs all the way around the circle until the bucket starts. The shooter rails are also beveled into a sort of "7" shape to keep the frisbees down.

I wish I had the cad or a better picture.

This pic might help with the rail visualization.

Hope this helps!

Re: Frisbee shooter surface?

We used a cutting board for ours, bought at Walmart. It's developed some notches in it from where frisbees ground on the board when we shot.
