Paintball Sights! Do They Work?!?

[kiakarimi]

I'm interested in getting an adco sure shot sight, and i had a few questions. I'm not planning on using it in an active game, but mostly just to mess around with, and i have a spyder TL Plus. First of all, do they even work? second of all, i know you line up the red dot with the object you're shotting, but is it zoomed in at all, or is the scope just for lining up the red dot.

thanks for your times fellas

i hate sights, had one, hated it, never use it, easier to judge with your eyes than to fool with a sight.

They work to a certain degree. Paintballs aren't like bullets. They dont go straight all the time. Sites are good for guesswork and when you are playing close quarters but you really don't have the time to sight your marker during a speedball game. I think they are a waste of money.

if you cant aim down the barrel like me, then hell ya they work

Well, i have an ADCO Hot Shot sight. To be honest, I probably only use it about 15-20% of the time. During the heat of battle, you tend to aim down the side of the barrell. There have been a time or two when I'm really patient, and I use the red dot. But even then you have to be pretty close to your target to use your sight because paintballs are sometimes not very accurate.

sights reduce your peripherial vision

strong is right... they cause blind spots its better to use judgment rather than use a sight. I prefer myself not to use sight. It really depends on what kind of ball you play... If you play strictly rec and want to try add more realism (as you drift away from reality) to ur game then sure go for it.


If your a kid who likes to add realism to ur paintball then heres waht id do:

Get a m98 or m98 custom then get flatline and the carbine stock... then get a remote line and screw it into your power tube. (just like the stealthline but ur doin it ur self... ****ing cheaper too). Then get all camo and **** and do like small unit **** pretending your a ****ing G.I Joe <--- this was me 2 yrs ago then i find out how much greater playing pball is than that ****.
