Shooting Posture Thread

[[FE]Memnock]

Post pics of you (or your friends, depends on how vai...er, I mean humble you are. :) ) with your marker in shooting position. Scrim, Tourney, Practice, doesn't matter. Powerfeed, Warp, Vert, let's see it all! The purpose is four-fold:

1.) To demonstrate all the different shooting postures and illistrate how different positions work differently for different people... and how that's ok. :)

2.) To highlight you and your marker in action... I mean, we're all a little vain, right? Maybe you'll see something you'd like to try.

3.) To show some of the marker setups we've seen on the forum in function, not just form. Seen a pic of a really sweet looking mag, but wondered how it would look on the field? Just were WOULD that hopper sit? (Or NOT sit, for those Warp folks) How do you AIM that thing?? Damn, that looks even sweeter in action than at rest! I'm getting one!!

4.) Heck, I just LOVE looking at paintball pics! I can't get enough, so bring them on!!

I'm sure there's plenty of pics out there waiting for the chance to be oogled! So let's see them!

Here are three of me.

First is a 3 man tourney. My E-mag, with a Centerflag Dynaflow 68/4500 with a Centerflag 5" drop and X-board Revvy.

http://www.thesillyhood.org/~memnock/Mem3man.jpg

Second is a 5 man tourney. My E-mag, with a Crossfire 68/3000 in a red Stubby Drop zone with an X-board Revvy.

http://www.thesillyhood.org/~memnock/Mem5man.jpg

Third is another 5 man. My E-mag, with the Centerflag Dynaflow 68/4500 on an Eclipse Short drop with lvl 10 and red gem HALO B.

http://www.thesillyhood.org/~memnock/MemnockFE2.jpg

The last pic is the most recent. Of all the configurations my Mag has been through, I think that is my favorite. It feels the best it's evr felt. And once I get the Extreme body, the reduced weight and low vert placement of the HALO will make it perfect. I can't wait. Then my mag will be complete... unless of course you guys show me something really cool that I just have to try! So let's see a few of your's!

ok, i guess i will contribute.. here is a picture of me playing, it was just a rec game and nothing was happening so i was just chilling there in the back. if you look closely you can see that the gun is rotated at an angle because i was shooting out left side with my right-handed warp setup. also, in case you couldnt see, my left hand is on the asa or tank reg, which is how i usually hold my mag.

[Clare]

here's a couple
*edit* I took out one and replaced it with another cause it wasn't exactly in a "shooting stance"

Y'all probably saw these already, but here is me with my old Shocker (my mag was sitting one out)

[bigsarge72]

Capo,
I think "petite" sounds much better than "puny". Now, if I was your size...then it would be puny, lol :D

[Wheelman]

Here is what you call "stay low and stretch" menuver. Hey at 6'4" and 300lbs their is only so much you can hide behind a few truck tires

[personman]

[cris8762]

Hehe, and YES I know my knee is sticking out in that pic, but then again thats in my backyard and paintballs arent flying past my head.. so I act a little foolish.. ;)
I got a little meat for bounces but Im not really fat.
I think I might be up to 120 now, but it has kinda been bouncing back and forth between 115 and 120.. hehe (when im not lazy, and when im lazy)

[Raptor3359]

Not the reccomended way to play, but I took both of them out :) This was against Dead Cell. I slid into the bunker, then just took a seat.

I'm about 6'2" 235 or so last I checked, maybe more. Cramming behind small bunkers isn't easy :)

That looks like a lot of fun Dayspring, but did your pod's stay dry underwater????

I've gone through waist high streams before but I made sure my pods stayed dry, lemme know.

Here's one of me at the P&L Tournament at Cape Cod Paintball leaning out the right side.

[SLY043]

all you guys with warp feeds makes me want one... haha

I play ball on my knee's leaning back and bending waste side to side covering all angles out of my bunker.

My gun is set up so the tank sits right into my shoulder and i can bring it up to look right down the barrel.

this is because i'm a front player... and an insane snap shooter...

I'll get some pics as soon as i can.

dis how i do dat!


*EDIT* oh yeah 5'10" 200 pound's. i can bench 235.


if it matter's.

[Python14]

I play like load. Hold tank with left and shoot with right.

[JEDI]

Hey, do you remember the out come of that picture you posted at PBX on the H-ball field? I'm trying to figure out which one of us (deadcell) that is? Not for bragging rights, I dont really care, but I'm just wondering if it was me or not.

[Thordic]

The outcome of that picture was whoever was against me tried to bunker me and I shot them out. I think the game went something like 3 on 3, then 3 on 2 in favor of my team, then ended up 2 on 1 in favor of your team, but then I did the reach-over on whoever was in the center with me, then tagged the last guy on your team out when he tried to bunker me.

I was sitting down because I'm not a front player, and I figured it was a comfy position. I don't know why more front players dont sit down :)

Then I ran the flag, and on the post-match paintcheck, Jon found some paint on my tank. I had no idea where it came from, so my team ended up getting credit for the pull but not the hang.

That was the first match of the 3-man, I believe. As best I can figure, I got hit in the tank when I did a reach-over on the guy on your team who was in the center bunker with me. The ref who checked me right after that happened missed the hit, and I couldn't see it since it was on the underside of my tank.

[Polishpickles451]

standing and shooting

[Polishpickles451]

snap shooting

[Dayspring]

I'm using the JT Slam Pods. I didn't go in as deep as he did. He's using snap lids ones, 32 degrees ones I think. They stayed pretty dry if I remember. If the river didn't soak them, the tornential thunderstorm would have...

He actually has a picture where it's his eyes and hopper/barrel above water, everything else is submerged.

[JEDI]

Yeah... now I remember, That was me. I ran to the center, I guess not knowing you were there. Then when I looked up to shoot you tagged me in the face from like two feet. That woke me up! I'm pretty sure the paint on your tank wasn't me. I was too busy crapping myself. Hey, at least my friends off the feild got a good laugh! They said they heard me when I got hit "uugh!" Good job buddy! Glad that was caught on film! :D
