Sights?

[Chipper]

Do you think they are worth it? I am considering this for a my new Phantom which is pump, and that is very different then semi, but you don't need to consider that.

i used my friends phantom which he put a $40 army sight on. i used it for one game(we switched guns) and shot about 80 rounds through it. i noticed that even when iw as trying to shoot slow and accurately, i didnt use the sight at all. this was in woodsball, and i honestly wished it wasnt there, it jsut made my (or his) gun a larger target.

I don't think they are worth it..Unless you just like the look of it.

i shoot for feel. i think its better cas you get to the point where you dont have to aim down a site you just know where it goes.

I would have a hard time believing any argument that said that sights are not any more accurate the instinct shooting; firearms and bows have demonstrated that they are more accurate. However, the question still remains whether they make a noticeable difference due to the natural inaccuracy of paintball guns.

I use a clip on dot site ( dote like the 2001 PGP front site) got it off ebay frpm SP they have two sizes. I like it because it gives me a point of reference to gauge against.

the ball does not go straight so a sight will not help.

I use an Armson pro dot sight on my Bushmaster pump and find that, especially for pumps, they are helpful.

Ive never use one and Im doing pretty good, its all about personal preference. I would try one out before I bought it if possible, to make sure if there for you or not. For some it doesnt work, and for others it does.

you already got a sight, its called your barrel double vision your barrel and shoot where they meet at the end if you really need a point fo refernance. Trying to look through a sight every time you shoot will cripple your snapping game, and it doesnt help accuracy at all.

I actually got banned from the phog for bashing sights so much lol.

arrows and bullets dont shoot like paintballs.... paintballs are filled with paint which is mostly liquid which molds the ball into a inaccurate projectile.. it will never acheive the accuracy of a bow or bullet. but as one said up in here b4 they can help by seeing where your shot are going in scenario or woods which makes a lot of sense. it's all about style of play and personal preference as many had said b4.

this is why u dont use pansy drops

look down the body and barrel of the marker

[AGD202]

if u want to be acurate w/ a paintball gun u just gotta get the feel for where they shoot

Honestly, it's a personal preference. Some people try to argue garbage that because a paintball doesnt fly straight, but in an arc that a sight doesn't do any good, yadda, yadda, yadda. In reality, they just don't know how to use one effectively. The sight isn't there to show you the direct path to your target, it's there to give you an approximation of where it should hit the target.

I use one on my phantom and only on my phantom. I sight it in to be relatively accurate at about 75'. RELATIVE is the key term. If I can hit a CD sized target 8 out of 10, that is relatively accurate enough for me. When using the phantom, I'm not out there to long ball, I'm there to crawl and get in close and attempt a limited shot elimination.

The major problem with them is that if you don't know how to adjust for distance, wind, elevation, etc. they really are more of a hinderance. You have to use it and learn how to use it, if you want to be effective with it. It works great in the basement with reball, and no wind, but then again, that's only about 40' and there's no liquid in the ball... It's a cheap investment, so what the heck, you might like it, it might help you, or you might hate it and it might hinder you.

orrr.... just look down the barrel.

cheapest mod you can get!
