1. Let go of the front reg
2. Twist your wrist so the marker is pointing up the way and tight to the bunker.
3. Move marker to opposite hand
4. Bring down taking reg in opposite hand

Try it barrel up - it's tighter and you cant shoot yourself in the foot.

It also 'looks wrong' and as we all know if it looks wrong then it probably is.

Definatley do it pointing up, have been shot by my own team because we were behind the same bunker and he pointed his gun down while switching sides to cover my zone while i reloaded.

I would try lots of different techniques cos switching hands behind a bunker is a lot different to switching hands while on a run through.

Best way i have found to practice is set up stationary targets on the left and right of the field, run or walk down the centre of the field shooting the first target on the left then the first target on the right then left then right etc...

i just swich which shoulder the tanks on, i think the profile is about the same if not better. then you keep your good/ better shootin hand on the trigger. i think it would be a bit faster too
I do this too, find it takes too long to switch hands. I know this is probably "wrong" But i don't think the difference in profile is that much, when meassured against the time saved switching and the benefit of using your "Stronger" Hand.
