I have a bsa optic hunting scope when i play woodsball with my crew.  It is very accurate and i never miss a shot.  So all u haters go get a life.  Scopes are like a cheat....use thme to ur advantage..

I prefer red-dot sights myself, though a scope can definitely be useful. Eventually I'd like to get a better red-dot. Maybe one with a dot in the center, and a ring around, to assist with aiming off estimation.

I've noticed that a lot of people go about shooting a moving target the wrong way. They'll fire right at it or right before it, constantly adjusting after each and every shot. Better way that I find is to start jsut behind the target, and swing across them faster than they're moving. Open fire as soon as your sight is over the target, adn keep shooting as it gets farther and farther ahead of them. Any misses will be behind them, and they won't see, but because they're getting closer and closer behind, one will eventually hit. Assume that a shot is going to miss, and keep correcting a bit farther ahead on each shot, shooting rapidly, until one hits. Having a good visual aiming point is nice for this; the red dots are easily acquired.

There's definitely a knack to using sights in woodsball. I'll admit they're pretty much useless in speedball though- if you've got time to use them, you probably arne't playing aggressively enough...

Actually, bibeau, with a good barrel, you can get pretty good groupings. they should only veer off if your barrel is dirty or there's a problemw ith your marker.

Scopes are also useful because you can sue them as a monocular, aprticularly in the woods. That suspicious shadow? Take a closer look to see if it might be an enemy. I've talked to enough hardcore woodsballers to believe that scopes are useful. Hop over to the Ariakon forums and check out some of their discussions on scopes and sights... There are some players there with icnredible marker setups incorporating both.

If you play on large fields, they would be good for spotting. I personally don't like them and feel they are too slow. I can get close enough sighting down the barrel or with snapshots to quickly walk onto what I am aiming at with usually 3-4 balls in a woodsball game. In speedball, as previously mentioned, they are useless. I do not play in scenarios or big games, where they would be most usefull, so I see no point in owning one for paintball.

I think Wal-Mart carries a ~ $20 BSA that should be good for what you need.
