Re: Just some thought!

I always envisioned it as a modification on the stop bar. The swing handle
goes up to a certain point and hits a bar. Depending on where it hits, it
creates a different trajectory. Once the rock exits the air bubble it flies
straight so it doesn't matter so much if you have a shallow trajectory..
it's going to keep going.
