Was big into woodsball back in 92. Just got the goahead from the wife to "passivley" play again HAHA... I really wanted to give an A5 a go, but I saw a picture from the rear on EBAY and I got worried that I wouldnt be able to see S$#@ around that widearse hopper... anyone here have opinions on weather I should try A5 or just go with a 98c?

no there is no problem seeing around the hopper. it is a big target though so you may want to buy a richochet for like $10

I'd go with the A5. The hopper wont be in your way at all.

also if you are truly that worried about it you can pick up a 98 custom pro and then get it centerfed then you would have no problems to think of |

The real question is how you aim, and with which eye. I am left-handed and right-eyed, and I have a hard time shooting the A-5 left-handed, because the hopper is right in my preferred line of vision. I end up leaning way out to see with my right eye. If you are left-handed and left-eyed, I would think the A-5 would be great. You will be able to see around the hopper, AND the hopper will be offset "inwards", thereby not being a target. Super-small profile. |

^werd. i'm naturally right handed, right eyed, but i've re-taught myself to play left handed, left-eyed. both in speedball and woodsball, it's great because the biggest target of the gun(the hopper) can be kept behind a tree/bunker and i'm able to aim and shoot. |

Ill aggree with them on the left eye thing. Even if you get a 98c I would suggest a cyclone. And btw, look for a slightly older Tippmann. The real Tippmanns, the ones that were made in the USA.
