Return of the drop?

[KitsuneAndy]

I think the invert mini is a good example, i've heard bigger players being put off because you can't have a drop or rail to suit yourself.

That's not so much the height so much as the length as you can't even use some form of minirail.

I have a rail which has a small drop, one of the eclipse ones, that helps abit, but it doesnt make much difference to my gun

Also people keep banging on about that height rubbish, unless your playing like a numpty, you sight the gun at eye level like usual and position the bottle lower into your body, doesn't add any extra height at all.

Ok then, now explain what you do with your elbow....

And also how on earth the setup is going to be quickly manoeuvrable without throwing you off balance.

I dont think theres many people out there would would want to drop their bottle forwards on a mini; its already an incredibly short set up. I personally like mine set up short (as standard) but a few people on the team have been lengthening their set ups to. I think it would be difficult to use a setup any shorter than a mini effectively; although obviously it depends on the length of your arms and style of play etc, i prefer to have a tight set up personally.
