No I prefer using the triggers for "shooting", they feel more solid than the paddles. It is a matter of preference, that is what is cool about the controller you can customize it to your liking.
Also, I don't always lock the triggers because in some games, like Halo 5, it affects charge weapons(you cannot charge with weapons anymore if you lock the trigger). Again, there are no rules, you are not missing anything but for me I feel a better, more solid grip for shooting fast using the triggers instead of the paddles. Paddles would be for secondary things like crouching, changing gears, dashing/evading, etc.
Edit: also some games like Forza 6 use the rumble function on the trigger, and you could miss out on that by setting it to the paddle instead.
Great points! The only game I play at the moment is Black Ops 3 despite the fact that I have several others. I can see how configurations would differ between the games. I guess I am looking at the science of it. Even with the trigger locked I stare at the distance it has to travel to react vs the distance the paddle has to travel to react and that's a large difference. Although, yesterday I did mess around in the xbox accessory settings for the controller. I saw that you can make the reaction quicker on the software side. That was pretty cool!
