How do you grip your trigger?

[elTwitcho]

Always wondered

[MereMoth]

When I'm shooting slow I use my index and middle finger, but when I'm shooting fast I use only my middle finger.

[Richy_C]

i prefer middle foringer for double triggers and i really dislike single triggers though, cept on a cocker

[ElectricHead]

I just use index and middle all the time

[TLplus84]

I use the index and middle too, although i put more force into the middle finger

[elTwitcho]

Yeah, i used to use middle finger only on my double trigger, but a buddy of mine told me to try a few games using your middle finger and ring finger. It's really awkward at first, but in those first few games you'll get these short bursts once in a while where the paintballs come out so damn fast. I played a few more games like that and now I just find it more comfortable, and for me, I can get my ROF up higher than before. It's a nice grip once you get used to it, just awkward at first.

[Richy_C]

i can see useing a setup like that on those funky z grips for mags, those are nifty

[elTwitcho]

yeah, ever held one? it's weird, but comfy at the same time

[Richy_C]

Nope but the dude who had it could send the newies flyin', it was cool cause he had rt too, it was freaky fast

[TLplus84]

the Z grip is great. I used my friend's mag witht eh z body and the z grip. It felt kinda funky..but it felt balanced. I could rip out long shots fast that i didn't know i could do..

[Richy_C]

Is it worth the 100? or would an electro trig be better?

[TLplus84]

hrmm...for rof...i'd go with the electric trgger..but seriously i would pick the z grip b/c the electro trigger is like 250 and the z grip, which also gives an impressive rof and comfort like no other, is only 100. And half the things you could do with an Electro(auto, burst, ) you can't use in tourneys.

[Richy_C]

those are just novelty, and for outlaw, heh heh

[TLplus84]

what the zgrip or the features on the electro-trigger? cuz if it was the electrotrigger, yeah you're right...but hte Z grip is very useful.

[weasel]

When I'm shooting fast I hold my index finger in the air and just twitch my middle finger. When I'm going for accuracy I use both with equal force.

why is that? can they not be used at fields or in tournaments?

[TLplus84]

bursts( round burst, 6 round burst) or fully automatic is not allowed at tourneys and most fields nowadays. Sux but oh well.....it's only fair.

[Richy_C]

80 percent of turbo modes are diss llow to, butsome people turn them off cause a shocker vs a spyder aint much of a challenge

[TLplus84]

don't judge the player by their gun. If a nwebie with a shocker goes up against a pro with a spyder....then i will bet hundred bucks against a bent nickle taht the pro wit the spyder will win.

[antiramie]

I use my pinky; sometimes thumb!

[ElectricHead]

i thought he meant the z-triggers were only for rec

[Auctionjunkie!]

I pretty much use my middle finger. I hold my gun a little different than most people. I hold the gun in my left hand and balance it with my right. My thumb is at the top of the grip with my index finger kinda pointed up. I use the tip of my middle finger to actually pull the trigger. On single triggers I put it in the middle of the trigger but on double triggers I put the tip of the finger on the point between the 2 triggers. I also tend to have my middle finger almost parallel with the gun body. It sounds strange but it's very comfortable and I can rip off shots pretty fast.

Yeah, I just rest the tip of my pinky on the grip. it's more comfortable to hold it out, but the idea of an extended pinkie getting hit by a paintball keeps it on the trigger

[elTwitcho]

Woah, who brought this back up? (And yes I know my post is the most recent, it was at the top before hand)

[simon woodstock]

i have my middle and ring inside he trigger gaurd, normally i just shoot with my middle and press my ring against the front of the trigger gaurd, all my friends say it's wierd. it feels better for me to have my index along the side of my gun, the end touches the safety(if you were wondering what i meant by along side the gun). if i'm shooting with one hand i put my ring finger back on my grip. but i never use my index.

[Witt]

I use my index and middle finger. Fast pull.

[Creek]

man now i forgot what i do.i dont think about it

[Witt]

Index and middle fingers. :)

[spacer709]

yeah i use my index and my middle finger

[Splat Attack]

I have to use my middle finger if i want to shoot very fast. My trigger pull is really hard, so i ned more strength, so I use the middlt finger. It is a single trigger.

[PetWoody]

i find it easier to only have ur thumb touching the grip and all the other fingers in the air beside the grip, i do this on my cocker when i use either my index, or middle finger to pull the trigger.

if u didnt get that ill try to explain better.
i rest my hand up under the back part of the cocker and just have my thumb wraped around the left hand side of the grip, and have my other fingers just floating in the air horizantal to the ground

last try

[Chronus]

Index and middle, but I'll try that middle and ring not that you mention it....

[elTwitcho]

Believe me, play a full game with it. Your first time using it you'll be like "This sucks, forget it", but I can almost guarantee that after you get used to it, you'll find you shoot ALOT faster

[PaintKiller]

I use my wring finger and middle on a double trigget and my index atays uptop of the trigger near the saftey any one else do that??/

[adVanCedSh0t]

I use my index and middle finger. If not that then just my middle finger.

[PBSouLjAh]

on a double trigger..i do wat paintkiller does. i hold my co2 tank (on a drop forward) with my left hand. i trigger with my middle and ring which is A LOT faster than index and middle...and i put my index finger near the safety or up on da gun ..... and i keep my pinky in the air near the grip. i hold up the back of my gun with the U or dat space from my thumb to my index...

[Evilcrayonusa]

i use index and middle for speed and index for snyping and aimed shots

Hey pbsouljah I only hold the tank like that when I can get a good shot at some one.....Oh and on my left hand I hold it near the rerulator which is near the tank...
Wait let my hold my marker now and see.....Ok do you have a shutter???
If you do I hold it near at.
Wait here is where my left hand in. MY thumb is on the top of the reg.and index is on the bottom of the reg then the rest of my fingers are where you screw on the tank.
Try what I do I think it makes me more accurate I tried it and it did.

[raptorprh]

switch off w/ middle and index finger after getting tired

[simon woodstock]

i hold it like paint killah, but i hold my X chamber, good n' steady

[ReXy]

i use my middle because if i get shooting my index finger keep coming off so i just use my middle

[TheMuRph1018]

Has anyone done their own trigger work for a cocker?
If you did how do you do it and what supplies do you need?

[Splat Attack]

aight, now that I have a new gun to use, I figured out my new stratigie. I hold the ex chamber with my left hand, and put my index finger by the trigger, and my thumb pointing up vertical. I put the middle of the tip of my middle finger on the bump in the middle of the double trigger.
I like how it feels on my trigger.
