it's less stable, harder to switch hands or shoot cross body, unnecessarily uses more muscle (which means more fatigue, and less endurance)

chicken wingin' will get you nothing but an elbow shot that you could have prevented.

Not true...at all. Fatalkitty had some decent reasons not to do it, but you won't get shot in the elbow from chicken winging. The elbow you stick out will be behind the bunker anyway.

I guess I don't know what your definition of "chicken wing" is, but the fact that your inside arm is sticking out further can actually help keep your barrel on-target, particularly during a snapshot. While your right hand pulls the gun slightly down and to the right, the left hand pulls the gun to the left more, and since the muscles are already in use, you're more likely to have the left hand stable. Basically, since you're flexing against yourself, you have more control over the barrel tip than if part of you is loose.

don't do it... your using muscles you don't need to use and it's stupid. trying to justify it is also pretty stupid.
also don't yell at your team mates for it, that'll just put them on the defensive... if you have more experience than they do and they have respect for you then teach them some proper posture between games

ur meaning of chicken wing is the trigger's hand elbow sticking out 90deg right?
i tend to do that
bad habit
but am reducing it already
but not to chicken wing is the right posture to run the trigger i guess
