Where you lose at a snap shot, where do you usually get hit?

most of the time i take it on my left knuckles snapping right.

My hopperwhen shooting left. I suppose i need better snapping technique lesft side.

Shooting right, my right elbow... yeah I know. I poke it way out there...

Shooting left, usually the left side of my mask though rarely the lense.

I haven't actually played since removing my CP micro drop and replacing it with a rail so we'll see how that goes when I get a chance to play again.

BTW, Carbon, good luck on July 10th in Modesto.

Balls LOVE to skim over my arm, most the time they dont break but they hurt like heck, thats when snapping right. I usually get nailed in the reg, its hard flinging that old defiant around, its kinda heavy lol.

I get hit in the hopper a lot.. i go into the bunker, but when i go out to shoot, its always my hopper, never my mask or anything..

i ususally get shot in the mask ...lots of times the balls nick my arm but dont break....no matter which way i pop out ...................once i got it down to a 1on1 me v.s some one else ovisly but he snapped out and i shot a ball right up his barrel and broke the ball he was shooting out it made him soo mad (in the end i eventually bunkered him)

i always get hit in my hopper...on both sides. Either that or i get it in the RT pro bracket which sucks and is a major pain to clean.

you guys really need to learn how to tilt your hoppers in and shoot...

Doesn't looks like I'll be there to play with family issues and work being what it is. I'll still most likely be there as support but that's it.

I normally don't get hit snapping to the left or right. But if it happens it's my shoulder when I'm coming back in. Or straight up in my gogs if I pop out into a nice stream.

I usually take it ithe reg, or knuckles as well.
I've got this bad habit angling my hopper inward and my tank ouwrd when I snap out, I'll sometimes take it in the ASA.
Half the time I'm laning/crossing up the field anyway if I get nabbed that far in the back I feel like a failure.

I played paintball with a guy who was totally jinxed. Every other game he's snap shoot, and either take one (or often several more) to the grill, or get gogged. He was a great sport about it though, and we had alot of good laughs*






*At his expense.

i dont usually get hit snapshooting. but on the rare occasion i do, its on the upper arm, just below the shoulder.
come to think of it, i almost never get shot in the hopper. in the last year and a half, i swear i have only been hit in the hopper ~12 times, if that. i never have to clean it. just to wipe off the spray that gets on it.

I usually forget to tuck my elbow in...so I usually take it just beneath the elbow on the right arm. If I remember to tuck the elbow in, I usually take it in the knuckles.

On the rare occasion I snap to the left, also the knuckles. :shooting: :shooting: :shooting:

hard surfaces (mask, hopper) I easily get mad getting shot in the mask just getting in the bunker and looking out and seeing pink on my goggles just irritates me!

Forehead/frontal cranial area. :tard: Some off of the upper arm, but 90% off the noggin... Maybe thats why I spell so funny. :tard: Spell check is my friend... :D

Since I took off my visor I hardley get out becuae of snap shooting. Im not sure why does a 1inch and a half stick out really make that big of a deal. I would always get hit in the visor. Knuckles too,but who dosent?
