Shooter range

From watching week 1 and 2 events I saw a lot of shooters and their ranges their massive ranges and multiple shot locations. I'm curious to know, what your teams shooter range is.

We have a sweet spot that allows us to shot from multiple distances. We can make shots from 7-11 ft consistently

Re: Shooter range

We have two different release angles, one tuned for ~2-4 feet (behind the low goal) and another for ~6-18 feet.

We have a range of about 60 feet which we tuned down to 45. The release angle also allows us to shoot in the high goal 36" away from the high goal.

Re: Shooter range

We are about 8' to 20' with a 4' "dead zone" in the middle due to our arc. However most of that dead zone can be eliminated if we are doing a driving shot.
