REASON #1 THE GUN OFFERS 3 TIMES MORE SPOTS TO SHOOT FROM

SPOT SELECTION

The Gun will throw to 17 spots around the perimeter compared to just 9 spots with the Dr. Dish CT.

DISTANCE

The Dr. Dish has only 5 Distance settings. If you compare a 6’4″ player and a 5’6″ player both wanting to shoot FT jumpers, the 6’4″ player may catch the pass at his chest while the 5’6″ player catches the same pass over his head.

With The Gun there are 20 plus distance settings per spot. The ability to make the slightest changes in the passing distance allows players of any height to catch the ball right in their shooting pocket, every time, at any spot. The flexibility of the Distance and Pass Placement is just another reason why Most Coaches Count on The Gun.


REASON #2 CLEAR NET VS. BLACK NET

We tried a Black Net 20 yrs. ago and 85% of Coaches and Players preferred the Clear Net. One of the main reasons Most Top Coaches choose The Gun is they want their players practicing game like shots. For example, some teach focusing on the eyelet on the front of the rim, and the Black Net makes it very difficult to see. This is only possible on the Gun!

COUNTING MADE SHOTS

Hearing a swish is a Reward for a Perfect Shot and Motivation for the player. Players and Coaches love the fact that Gun’s counter never touches the ball. The Dr. Dish counter will never let you hear a swish. The steel cage under rim will just make a “Clank” noise.

The Gun – Clear Net

Dr. Dish – Black Net

The Eye Chart is used as reference of clarity.


REASON #3 Motor Comparison

5 TIMES BIGGER & 3 TIMES MORE LIFE

Our Motor is nearly 5 Times bigger and has 3 Times the life expectancy.
The Gun uses high-quality, heavy duty components that will last you 15 – 20 years.

REASON #4 Net Height Adjustment

Our net is over 5 Times more adjustable to encourage optimal shooting arc and not allow “Flat” shots. The higher net will also collect more misses so they are not bouncing all over the gym.

REASON #5 Compare Throw Distance

The Gun – has 4 Times as many Throw Distances per spot. This allow for players of all sizes and skill levels to make the slightest adjustment and be able to catch the ball right in their shooting pocket every time.

Dr. Dish – has only 5 Set Throw Distances per spot. With no ability to adjust, players will be forced to catch passes overhead or down by the knees.

REASON #6 - Pass Location vs Shot Location

The Gun 12K is the only machine in the world that can program a passing location.
Get accurate shooting stats for your team and partner workouts by tracking stats where the shot is taken when using a passer. Dr. Dish does not have this feature. 

 

REASON #7 - NOISE

THE GUN IS TWO TIMES QUIETER THAN DR. DISH

A more quiet machine will make it so you can better communicate with, and coach your players. For the home user, a quieter machine creates a more comfortable, peaceful environment for you and your neighbors.

About Shoot-A-Way

While in 8th grade, Shoot-A-Way Owner and President, John Joseph, went to a basketball camp at Ashland College where he saw a 1950’s film about Duke University using net systems to help return the basketball to shooters. Not only that, but the net systems actually helped shooters improve their shooting percentage by 10%. So, John told his camp coach that he was going to build one, and that is just what he did when he got home from camp. With pipe and wire, he went out and designed a system that would make him a better shooter and set it up in his neighborhood.

The Original Shoot-A-Way in 1982


People often laughed at the contraption, but it did the trick. While in college years later, he re-designed the system and offered it to coaches as a tool for improved shooting. Most coaches were skeptical, but in 1982, a successful coach in Pennsylvania purchased the first one as a resource for his players to get better faster. John knew that if one coach liked it, thousands more would also. Over 10,000 Shoot-A-Ways have been sold across the country! But, that was just the tip of the iceberg.




In 1998, John wanted to come up with a way for the ball to be passed back to shooters, and that was when the “Gun” was created. In 1999, the University of Florida was the first school to invest in one, and now over 27,000 “Guns” are being used by schools and home users all over the world to help kids work harder and get better faster. And that is the goal of Shoot-A-Way! John says the greatest rewards are the letters and pictures from coaches and players thanking him for giving them a way to reach their goals and achieve success. That is what keeps his passion going for developing new products. The success of this company is only for the blessings of God, and we try to honor God in all that we do.

Shoot-A-Way Owner and President, John Joseph, is pictured giving his Ohio Basketball Hall for Fame induction speech in 2018. John was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a “Contributor to the Game” with his inventions of, “The Shoot-A-Way” and “The Gun” that forever changed how the game of basketball is played all over the world.
