Whatever way feels comfortable or can shoot faster, this is the one of the few things that you can say is preference without getting yelled at.

well the pros don't have drops, so that's probably the best way, I don't use drops, so its definitly the best way.. lol I shoulder the tank and try to have a really low profile, I don't really work on shooting fast, because I have an Xtra...

Probably the best way is to press the tank onto the front of your shoulder. This brings down the loader height and still gives you a small profile. Pros don't use drops because they do nothing. It's personal preference though.

Who cares if you get flamed on the net for having a drop if it feel comfortable to you.

the reason i hate drops so much is because of the stupid 15* angle some of them have.

No, it doesn't have a drop forward, yours has a bottomline.

And you're the person that made a Tippmann bashing thread in the Tippmann forum. You're obviously not too bright or knowing yourself. :rolleyes:

drops are preference, but a lot of people don't use them. some people in these forums will swear by them, and some will swear they suck, so just go with whatever you feel comfortable with, and no worries.

a lot of people care, if ya do it enough and stuff, you can get banned, and then you'll care, because that would mean no more PBR for you. :rolleyes:

my personal preference is with my fingers on the trigger and the marker facing the other team. That works best.

There are indeed many wrong ways to hold your marker, but I instead of telling them to you which would be hard and take a long time, I'll show you the basic way most people shoot.

Gun rolled in slightly toward the bunker (so your hopper isn't hanging out),head leaned forward a bit, tank on your armpit (so your gun is dropped down a bit, lowering your profile), elbow and forearm pulled in as much as possible, inside hand on your reg (holding the reg gives you much more gun control than holding your ASA or barrel), and most importantly shooting from your side not your front (again lowering your profile, but also making snap shooting easier).
My examples aren't great because the pics suck and I wasn't trying to be very meticulous, but you get the idea.
