this is an idea i got while surfing the web:


ok, i think tippmann's sights are hard to aim becuse

the sights are so dark, so i am posting this idea/mod.

paint the front and back sights like this:

I always see "two" sights. Like even when I close one eye I still see two. I think its hard to aim so I just aim down the barrel like I do with any other paintball marker
-edit- although nice find. I think I'm gonna have to try this.

Becuse the black sights up against a dark background (forest)

are hard to define

and this is REALLY easy to install

cheap to

if you do this to your front sight you will be able to see the front

of your barrel easier to.

yea its definitely a good idea, they have them on handguns, i know a cop whos got it on his, its green at the end points and orange at the front.....i saw one in a magazine that was green front and back, which i personally think is a bad idea bc thats just as hard to see at night i guess.....who knows, but either way thats a good idea

First of all unless you are trying to "snipe" most people don't take the time to look down the sights. And paint would look retarded if you are guna do that go with TruGlow sights. They kick butt I have them on my Remington 870. Yes, that is not really sights for paintball guns, but something along those lines could be made. Just and idea....

I haven't owned a gun that actually had sights in over 3 years.  What's the point? Paintballs aren't accurate.
