Did you shoot it into the toilet? If you haven't, do it now! Then you can join the elite club of those who have had to explain curious ceiling waterstains to their spouse or parent. (Disclaimer: I never told you to do this.)

Sorry, back to the topic at hand.

Re: how do you aim with your a5's?

I know the dogleg stock is really good for using iron sights. Takes a little getting used to though. you could also try m-16 style, sight rails and front sights, that should give you the cleanance for your mask while still being able to use a stock.
Other than that just shoot with your marker alot, and you'll know where those balls will land just by feel.

Re: how do you aim with your a5's?

dont know if this helps,but i have a green laser sight mounted on the top rail,i use a flatline and i know that the balls are never going to exactly where the dot is,but is a good reference point for where they SHOULD hit!

Re: how do you aim with your a5's?

Gonna try the toilet shoot, just for kicks. tippmanns are very versitile, my 98 put a whole through drywall, oops.. Just get used to shooting your gun. How good is the visability on one of those green lasers?

Re: how do you aim with your a5's?

the laser is good in daylight,but at night is awesome you can see the beam as well as the dot,it scares the snot out of other players,the doen side is that it eats batteries,going through about 1 a day.

Please don't spell/edit around the filter. FM

However, a trick I've learned:

Aim your A-5 on the target, focus your vision on the target. You should now see in the corner of your eye "two" A-5s. Line up your target between the "two" A-5s, take a shot and you ought to be right on target.

I tried this today, it's a really cool trick if you can get it right. I think it should do well for speedball scenarios. Just takes practice so far.

Re: how do you aim with your a5's?

After 3 years with my a-5, mostly its point and shoot. even when its one shot i shoulder my marker, level off, point and shoot. I have a lapco offset and a reddot - planning to use it more next summer as i sneak around more.
