Hi there, I know its all down to personnel preference But... Whats the most used setup out there for walking a trigger short and snappy or long and loose?

Thanks for the reply bolter :) need all the help I can get, the only way I seem to be able to keep up with the fire rate of others was to set up "auto response" were the marker fires on pull and release of trigger, il need some more practice i think!

Yep its 100% all practice mate :) just like learning to shoot with your off hand, it can all feel a bit awkward at first, but i promise you'll get the hang of it soon enough.

i would work on accuracy foremost. More important to be accurate than fast, by a massive margin. Ive played 1000's of games against people shooting at me,where i realise the paintballs are coming in thick and fast, but all landing at my feet. I love people who don't train right :)

there's very few tournaments now that play uncapped semi so the speed isn't much of a concern, more that it's comfortable for you. for me i like to have the trigger loose without causing it to bounce, with just a medium sort of pre and post travel.

Cool guys, im not too bad on the accuracy issue, in honesty I used to play alot in my younger days had a automag ( blue and silver anno I miss it alot) at the time it had nothing to do with fire rate but as you say being accurate was paramount, I attended a training session at my local site and was surprised at how many shots I was getting on target compared to a few of the more experiencd guys who were there, maybe its like riding a bike.... Thanks again for the help guys truly appreciate it!
