During "Air Raid" the left shooter fires the ball right past all of the drop targets, making it nearly impossible to complete the mode. How can I fix this issue?

Several things can affect the trajectory of the ball leaving the kickback area. Coil strength, plunger contact surface/point of impact on the ball, ball guide on the left side of the lane, playing surface defects...
Is this new behavior or has it always done it? Something broken or loose near where your coil mounts to the playfield underneath maybe?
it didn't do it when I first got the game. I thought maybe it was the coil wearing out, so i put a new one in and that didn't help. Next I tried putting a slightly stronger coil in and that didn't help either.

I will never understand why almost everyone's knee jerk reaction is to replace the coil without testing it. (Sorry if I sound harsh, but there is a ton of info out there on coils, and they don't really wear out.)
When I shopped a buddy's judge, it took a bit of adjusting the left ball guide, as well as making sure the plunger hits the ball dead center. His also hand few stripped holes where the plunger mounted, which would cause it to loosen. Make sure these screws are good and tight. If a hole is stripped, fix it.
Since it worked before and this is a new thing, look for something that loosened.
