Eventually, it will be from 12' to 20' or so. You are correct, the trajectory is currently a little too steep. We'd like to be hitting our 18' shot on the fall from peak trajectory.

Our strap limits us roughly 4-6 deg from our final flatter shot angle. We didn't want to get too close during initial testing to the flattest angle we can shoot, because if we go too far, we'll shock load the choo choo. Our next stage of testing will hard mount the currently tied off restraint strap, which should flatten our angle. If it doesn't, we might have to lower our power slightly.
