Drop Forwards

[skullicious]

Hello..
I just bought an eclipse drop forward for my imp and it looks pretty cool.It seems that I'll be able to play tighter and all but theres something im not happy about.
I often bang myself in the face with the gun.I mean..if I had a cocker I'd be getting whacked in the face everytime I pulled the trigger.
It's not constantly banging off the mask but it is a bit disconcerting.
Before when I had a standard bottom line (?) it was fine but with a 14" freak I found it quite difficult to get in tight.

Maybe I'm just worrying.
Maybe it's because I have a long neck.
Did anyone else have this problem?
Did you get over it?
Thanks.

Im assuming its the bolt thats smacking you in the chops everyshot?

Think its summin your gonna get used to (keep your face away from the bolt) or get a voodoo bolt, or another aftermarket bolt that is flush with the back of your impulse when its cocked back. So you wont be able to get hit in the face.

If its the recoil, then I'd just find away around it, but a delrin bolt would reduce recoil. Making it less of a problem.

heh, but yeh, i hate to say it....the chubby green one is right

Also, you could learn to keep your face from the tight back end of your marker, Cheaper then a delrin bolt

Seems you just need to adapt to your gun more, you'll save more on Lenses for your gog's as well.

Cheers.
Thanks for the input.
I'd like to get a delrin bolt actually.
I seem to be knocking my mask less now.

or you could get a gunrail with beaver tail!!

I know this sounds dumb but...
What is a beavertail?

 

[Little Jon]

on a site rail....
there is a bit of metal that comes off the end of the gun if you specify a beaver tail and it stops the bolt from hitting your goggles
