you should play with whatever makes you more comfortable but remember to always keep your marker up that way you can react faster to targets while on the move

i prefer to keep the bottle between pitted between my arm and body

Whatever is most comfortable and gives you a low profile, also, think about which eye you aim with (the dominant eye) if your right handed and right eyed (or left eyed, left handed) then the marker will be out slightly to one side, if your hand and eye don't match (left eye, right handed for me) then the marker is going to be more central as it'll lean across (also makes it eisier to switch sides without switching hands)
The eye thing is pretty important..first thing you need to find out in any target sport e.g. Archery.

Campaign aka me home
having seen some intersting attempts this weekend including (gangsta shooting one handed, resting gun on the ground angeling it up and then shooting it etc)just thought i should say put the back of the bottle in your shoulder. will hopefully imprve accuracy etc

How to hold your marker !!

The best tip I have ever been given was on holding my marker :-

You should pull the bottle butt into your shoulder - by the foregrip and not , as most players do, by gripping the grip frame tightly. Then lightly hold the trigger frame and rest your finger or fingerson the trigger.

Try it, it stops your barrel wobbling all over the place and provided you keep it pulled into your shoulder in this manner, your shooting position is "locked", wether you are standing, kneeling or running. Increases your accuracy no end.

The problem most players have is that they hold the trigger frame tightly and the foregrip lightly - every slight movement is then transferred down the gun to the barrel tip - which wobbles all over the place.

Give it a go - you'll amaze yourself.
 
Sam you bitch...

Why the hell weren't you at training? Oh, wait, you're in America. Yaaaaaaaaay, for the USA! Anyway, first thing Colin did was to show us the optimal gun/grip setup, as shown to him by nexus. Asshead, you should have been there. Makes snapshooting so much easier, 'cause you can get your damn elbow in about, oh, 6 feet from where I used to have it. Ask inbred Eric. He can show you in between bouts of your fervent making out.

P.S. I saved some paint from training. I have about 300 shots with your name on them. Buahahhahaa.

ok, gun setup was a good tip, changing my setup right now.

secondly, i am not gay, and do not make out with sam, ok? weve broken up, idiot! and thirdly, its currently 1:1 between us, neck shots are just as good as leg shots.

guys, at training try to do lots of snap shooting drills/games, it really helps.
