[QUOTE=Hell-met;18794807]Always carry the SMG full bodyshot arrows like to deal 120 damage.[/QUOTE] Who the fuck gave him a disagree? Unless it's on using the SMG, which I don't, he's right. A fully charged bodyshot will do 118-125 damage, depending on where it lands.
Try to keep your mouse still at head level, then adjust your aim by strafing. Learn to consistently predict the arc of the arrow. Shoot into groups.
I love the huntsman. Snipers are supposed to be good at predicting when and where there will be enemies. On the second stage of dusbowl, I can't tell you how many times I got headshots using the Huntsman on BLU. I shoot through the tiny narrow gap that goes into the hallway of the house on the left when I know someone went in the door and they're going to round the corner. It's all about timing, and let me tell you, the Huntsman is GREAT for pissing other players off when you're dominating them with it.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FULLY CHARGE THE ARROWS. This is as important as shit, as getting headshots without a charged arrow will still deal good damage, and you might need to protect yourself from an enemy going straight at you. And to be credit to team, carry Jarate. You can put out fires AND get minicrits on an enemy, meaning its easier to kill them with bodyshots. SMG can be used to finish off an enemy, but its just not worth it.
