    Fastest gravity loader

    Is there any hoppers that feed 8-10 bps by design only, without the use of batteries?
    I don't want to hear about the qloader, I'm looking for simple and light. Also anyone know what the feed rate is of a standard plastic rental style hopper is. I really don't think I will be shooting over 10 bps so Im looking for options.

    Different thoughts

    On searching batteryless loaders I came across shake flashlights. Anyone ever powered an agitator and sound sensor off a shake battery.
    I'm just researching ideas for my current build and compiling ideas. Feel free to share.

      Unrealistic to use a shake battery. There is no such thing as a "faster" or "slower" gravity loader, only more or less reliable-feeding ones. The most reliable is a stick feed.

        Archon claims theirs will do 12 bps.
        I like my Sport Shot personally, feeds real well and its a smaller target.

            I use one of the archons. With the little ramps in it you effectively get a ball stack that is about seven balls long (in either direction). I've chopped paint with it before using my single trigger mech, but a short quick string is usually on tap. You won't be closing a lane with it, but pretty good all things considered. The only reason I'm probably going to switch is because the thing is huge, and sadly my hopper is not a bunker. . .

              Which is why I like my Sport Shot :-)

                I'm actually thinking APP 150 rounder, unless the sport shot (I'll wait for the new one from KEE) is noticeably smaller than the APP. . .

                  I have both and I use the Sport Shot, its a smaller target.

                      Actually the opposite is true, the APP is a slightly smaller target ... width is more significant than height. I used to be a sportshot diehard and an APP hater but now that I have one, I can't go back.

                      It feeds really good too. The only downsides are the lame stock lid and narrower mouth.

                        width vs height...

                        looks like 6 in one, half dozen in the other.

                        +1 for the sportshot being able to be taken apart and cleaned. Better than my Indian Springs loader.

                          the APP feeds better than a modded sport shot

                            12v revvy with xboard and aftermarket paddles.

                            Pre-BE shells of course.

                            best loader ever made.

                              pick a pre BE 9-volt on Ebay. Modify it for the 4 paddle and then you have a consistent hopper that weighs next to nothing.
