I picked up a tip from a Steve Anderson podcast that I wanted to get opinions on. PF has a high percentage of Timmy's who also game, so this is the exact place to ask this question.
Anderson advocated keeping the gun up in front of your face while running to help shave some time getting the gun on target as you decelerate into position. I have worked it a bit and it actually feels really good. It does seem to help shave some time and make the deceleration smoother. I usually rotate the gun inboard a bit and get it just under eye level out in front of me. Also, I've taken to walking around the house with my hand in front of my face and aiming on light switches etc, just to ingrain it. Yes, my wife thinks I am crazy! I had to explain to here what I was doing.
Now, the Timmy in me immediately wondered if this was a totally gamer thing and I worried about reducing visibility while running. To be honest, after practicing it quite a bit, with both eyes open, it didn't seem to be an issue. I guess there is the possibility of smacking oneself in the teeth or face with the the gun if you fell or were struck, so there is that.
I am wondering if anyone here has give it a try, or does this in competition? I also wonder if you think it is kinda stupid, from a Timmy point of view. It certainly looks stupid, but in practice it just feels faster and smoother and visibility does not seem to be an issue.
Thoughts?
