I learned this trick from a guy that played tournament ball and watched him record 13 bps in SEMI MODE with his Angel. And he could PLAY TOO. He looked down BOTH SIDES of the Barrel at the same time. Weird I know.... But try it in the back yard and practice it some when moving and then give it a try at the field during play. The back of the receiver is right over your nose in the middle of your facemask. Each eye is LOOKING at the Target! Each eye sees only ONE barrel but your brain sees TWO barrels. When you have your target sighted correctly, they guys facemask is EXACTLY in the middle of the two barrels that you see. Ideal for getting the left and right aiming perfect. Simularly, with practice, you can do the same thing on the 'run' while moving and advancing. His "run" was an extremely fast walking gait. Looked more like a movie cameraman with a steady cam. He never has both feet in the air like a runner. But his marker almosts FLOATS as it moves across the field. No bouncing and jumping around. And he could tag people ON THE MOVE with scary regularity. He wasn't just putting down suppression fire while he was moving. He could move a little slower because he could tag any player that comes up to take a shot at him. And he would do the same thing when stationary. Helps play a little 'tighter' with less target area being exposed to an opposing player. I tried it and couldn't master it because I have a very dominant Right Eye and Weak Left Eye. So I guess it ain't for everybody. You might like my Auto Rangefinder. You have to build it yourself but it is Deadly accurate at all ranges. E mail me and ask for the SIDE MOUNTED Auto Rangefinder. You sound like you might be a newer player just looking for a 'training' sight to help you to learn how to point and shoot quickly. It would be EASY to rig up a single point device using the auto rangefinder concept. But THIS will work and it is Cheap too. Cut yourself a 4" piece of 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Two hose clamps to clamp it to your barrel. A Firm but THICK piece of foam and or wood to make a spacer between the barrel of your marker so that it can be easily view through looking down the side of your receiver. By the relative 'tightness' of the front and rear hose clamps, you 'zero' in the Left and Right Aiming. Then twist it up in the front and down in the back so it is more or less shooting paintballs in the middle of the hole at say 20 yards away. You have a temporary sighting device that is very accurate for that range. I recommend you get a little fancy and paint the INSIDE with Flat Black spray paint so you don't get any reflection off the inside of the smooth tube to mess up your aim. THEN get a bright Red, Orange or Yellow marker and color the end you look through. That way you have two 'sighting rings'. Put one ring in the middle of the other and you NAIL the guy. And it could be mounted on the receiver just as easily using the two grip screws to hold a bracket that your hose clamps attach too. And here is a tip to practice snap shooting and train your quick aiming skills. Go get another paintball buddy and play Quick Draw. One ball, No Hopper. 20 paces apart. Set an egg timer for 20 seconds or have a buddy toss a rock. When it hits the ground, you can "DRAW!" My boys did it just because they were brothers that wanted to put hickeys on his brother. They had pumps and they got REAL GOOD. So they backed up to 25 paces, then 30 paces. How many guys do you know that can snap shoot at 30 yards and actually hit a body on the first shot? They can. Eight years, and two semi markers later, they will trash anybody they can see. Sprinting players trying to advance from 25 yards away are TOAST! You won't burn through a lot of paint but you will sure learn how to bring that marker up and shoot your target very quickly.
