to be or not to be

Hi Guys, I have not read through the whole thread so forgive me if I retrack some parts. As long as you are sharp and tight in game its all about how you feel as far as holding your marker. I prefer to have my marker pretty much along side my head if Im popping out of bunkers to my left or right. Take your first pic for instance I feel your showing too much of your body behind th ebunker, your offering a big target. Now it may be a bad photo or as your moving out i dont know but if your along side a bunker I have my marker along side my head so I can pop out and snap shoot, while Im out shooting I have a good view over the field and make the most of the peripherals.

In a nut shell though, as long as you doing ok and not getting gogged too many times keep doing what your doing.

Good luck mate

From your last pic..... you should grip your foregrip reg tighter, will give you a better, more accurate shooting platform. And get the back end of your ion in between your eyes, resting on/ level with your mask where your nose meets the lens. That way, wherever you are looking is where your barrel is pointing.

But what do I know.......

Ok any chance of getting some pointers on my stance as well please?

Just to say that this is my gun battling stance and I realise that I should be wayyyy closer to the bunker and I should have a more dynamic leg stance( I was just showing some1 something in this shot) I'm really just wondering if my bottle's in the right sort of place for gun battling - when running and a gunning etc I have it a little bit further down and in for extra stability...

Not if any one would be interested but, someone made a vid at the weekend. It Aberystwyth (who I play for) against Birmingham in the inter uni league. You should be able to spot me (at the start on the right side of the screen with a run then slide, and then I get hit on the hopper. The vid shows that hopper hit you see in the picture i posted but in action lol)

Just got your hopper too high and ur too loose in relation to your bunker. Just need - as people said - to get your gun down a little bit and tighten yourself up when gun battling.
