    I have a Raven with 1 sniper drop target that gives me fits,there is 4 all on their own mechanism.sometimes it works sometimes it sticks and won't go down without a little help and the springs looked really beat up and not correct so I changed them out and it worked good for a few games then same old issue so I raise up the pf and look some more.I reset it and droped it over and over and i couldn't see what was causing it even doing so on one of the other drops for comparison and everything looked the same. It had some drag sometimes but not all the time and seemed it may still be spring related because if I put a little pressure to relieve tension it worked much better. So I switched springs between mechs and the problem remained the same. We are now a couple hours into this and I'm thinking maybe if I bend the mech a little it will make it better or worse either way that would be progress. As soon as I went to flex the mech it moved just a little and thats when I saw that someone had borrowed 2 screws letting it shift about an 1/8th of an inch causing an occasional binding. I added a couple screws and problem solved. pinball lmao
