Default When making custom recievers, fly pose is cool, but big Target is better.

one thing ive noticed in trying to perfect my passing game is that and this is not an excuse but a reality, but you can make target recievers that will increase your completion ratio, i always had problems hitting fab 5 and regular figs now as i got more acclamated to passing I improved, now when i started to make customs figs I was able to make target type recievers, think of a duck shooting game at a carnival the ducks just scroll past and u pop pop pop, now use the same concept in some WR figs, Reg's over the shoulder is the perfect example, lets say you use Two of them Strong Side left, Now heres what I mean, if u dont get bumped, the inside WR can be on an angling right base arcing wherever but if this figure cuts directly across the board, the mass of the figure is similar to that duck target, take aim and pop, if you got tweaking skills you can run a double WR cut overstep so both recievers run that route but cut at different intervals, still giving you two big targets to throw too if they get open, it doesnt matter what offensive scheme u run if your ttc or tdq passing poses are fly but Targets are better, pics soon.

Default recievers

I agree with you lock... when i design recievers i want the biggest target that i can get without compromising the integrity of the figure and have it looking like a frankenstien monster. below are a couple examples of the figures i make for recievers. the steve smith figure is raised up tall and the shoulders are widened out to give a big target. the second pose is a proto type figure.. it sits lower to the board bit has very large wide shoulders.the wide shoulders give it that stop and pop size you need. hope this adds to the post of what you were thinking about...

Thumbs up Big Wide Outs & Customization.

I am just recently getting back into the hobby & have no experience w/customizing. I want to customize at every position @ some point but I want to start with WR's & RB's how would you do it? I need some step by step info if someone doesn't mind.

here is the receiver that jeff priest is speaking of. he is mounted on an excalibur base shell with an itz dial in place. he runs good slants and a killer fade route, perfect for short yardage or goal line, or just as a distraction.
