Hello all, I have been playing for about a year now but I have major problems shooting with my left hand. My Marker is a BT TM-7, 12" Lapco barrel with an apex tip and a BT Rip clip. I run a rmote line because it makes the marker lighter but it also makes it hard to switch hands because the line gets in the way. I really don't want to put the tank on the marker because the ASA on the TM-7 is a bit wobbley. Any suggestions on how I can keep my current setup and shoot with my left hand. Thanx.

Put a 90 degree fitting on your remote line between the slide check and the female quick connect. This will allow the line to point in a more natural direction and swivel when you switch hands.

How would this work with a Proconnect III?

I believe shadowram uses a proconnect. It was his idea.

Works like a charm!
I'll get around to putting a video together eventually.
But same as any remoteline. Put a 90 between the hose and the female end of the Pro Connect.

yup you can do it with a proconnect, I have a 45 degree fitting going to my pro connect and it works great, I switch hands all the time playing indoor, I also run a 5" barrel indoors to keep it extra small and versatile, find it helps alot

I'm all over this. It looks like I have 2 90 deg fittings. One seems like it'll fit perfectly, but the other one is a bit loose when I try to thread the male end into the 90 deg.
