What do you think I should use to aim. I can't find sighting down the barrel an easy way to sight. I have a freak system...and all I have to say it's incredibly accurate. Is a hi-viz a good idea? That's the best solution I can think of.

i guess i tend to aim down the side of my barrel...line up the back of the marker and the barrel...i guess you get used to your marker and were it's going to shoot like instinct almost....
I guess i rely on getting a better angle on the person vs. pinpoint accuracy, but it helps!!!:D

get a red dot scope with 0 magnification. The ball will go where the dot is, and you dont have to have it up to your eye to see it. A red dot is not the same as a laser at all and is only visible to the user, through the scope. Imo any other type of scope is pretty useless in paintball. (some Low mag shotgun scopes are ok too)
For longball shots, this is not efffective. The best way for me, long range, is to fire a few shots and adjust from there.

The problem is, I don't believe smart parts has any type of dovetail rail that you can buy for their guns.

...The point of the game is to shoot others. If you don't aim, you don't hit. I've been told just to shoot a shot to where you think you'll get close, and from that shot, you should know what direction you need to shoot at.

When you get good with your gun and get comfy w/it you learn to instinctively shoot and have it hit what you want. If your hell bent on getting a sight get a fiber optic sight and put it on the side of you gun.

I love it for the stock gun olny $150 but I have upgrades so it's worth more. I thought about selling it and my old tippmann but my gun out shoots the 7 cockers at our field and olny one is stock. The olny down lide to it is that it's pretty heavy.

Go ahead and laugh if you want I don't care there are 7 cockers at our field and my gun works better that all of them, and unless you have seen my gun perform next to a cocker don't talk because you don't know **** your just a cocky little *** hole that thinks any gun thats below his stock isn't good. So don't talk **** when you can't back it up.

1. I'm not a newbie not by a long shot.
2.I didn't say suped up I said they were not stock( new barrel or other common upgrades)
3.My gun is not stock
4.You do have a nice gun but it's not the gun that makes the player remember that.
5. Where do you live??? cuz I don't know any one with a STO, so no you haven't seen my gun perform.
Once again get your facts straight befor you talk and next time make sure that you know what your reading befor you make a half assed come back.

Spray and pray, You are not exhibiting a high degree of inteligence. I would stop, before you choke on your foot. You have allready convinced me that you are a little kid with an expensive gun, who thinks that gun=skill. Play some more, then come back and shoot your mouth off.

I play with different people every week Half the time I don't know who they are. I do know how much gear matters, if you go into a tourny with a stock spyder you will get killed, and all I'm saying know what your talking about befor you run you mouth.

I guess on the windage, range, elevation and go into the zone before taking a shot. You stare at the target. Bring your gun up and I automatically zero in my target and 9/10 I hit my target after the first shot. Just gotta do what feels right sometimes.

I point the gun in the direction of the target (or at the target) fire see where it goes and adjust my gun accordingly. Otherwise i "try" to aim down the barrel im left-handed and have the site guns have a elbow feed on the tippmans obstrucking my view.
OR JUST SPRAY AND PRAY!!!!

i still think almost all cockers with even minimal mods can shoot better.....this is not a flame its just a fact that cockers are damn good guns, not saying that yours is not its just that its a little hard to believe that all. why do you think you see so many tournys players using them...nuff said
