I just got my super nice shadow and targets are launching balls all over the place. I bent mine forward and still no good.. I will figure this out have you made any more progress?

cool. are you targets close to 90 degrees or are they tilted forward?

Maybe it's the springiness of the foam that is generating the bounce. I think I am gonna try and get some a thinner foam, leave a gap and see what happens.

alright, I bent mine forward even more and put in new foam and things seem pretty good. I really wish the previous owners had taken care of this before the clear coat got all dented from this flying balls.. oh well.

Quoted from TomGWI:

Nothing to do with the mongol targeted but does anyone have trouble with the left ramp right exit switch. I have had a lot of trouble getting it adjusted. Either I get it working but if the ball comes fast it actually jumps the switch blade or if slow gets trapped.

Took me a while to tweak mine to always work. You can do it!

Quoted from PunkPin:

i havent messed with my mongol targets at all but i do notice i get way more airballs from one then the other. looking at them they are both bent slightly forward but the one i get less airballs from is also slightly turned at an angle..might be worth a shot to try turning the faces of the targets slightly

I did this also, I just loosened screws under playfield and turned the targets as much away from the ramp as possible.. there is almost nowhere to go but they did change angle ever so slightly.. I played a couple games just aiming for the targets and had pretty much no air balls.
