your best bet is to get a pet. I used a GSP as a tank and just beat on biz natchs. They give around 4.3k with a pet and they go down quick/ I am 4013 and i am still using polearmhit 2 on them so you should be able to do the same.

Go up pistol techniques first. Once you get double tap you will shred stuff! Stoping shot is good, and I have heard that fan shot is good, but I dont have it yet. I have the xp, but cant find find any one to teach me. but definetly go up the techniques tree first.

/agreed Once you have the tech tree, the xp will just come flying at you. Go to lok and kill gurks. They're nice xp and leave your old mount in nym's stronghold grouped with you for the xp bonus.

I like double tap at the moment, though I don't have fan shot yet. It is fast, and does a very decent amount of damage for its level. I use it to chip away at them about 500 damage at a time. works pretty well too. I even prefer it to stopping shot some times. it is what I always use when in hunting groups, except when my target has perticularly low health. Then I use bs2. But at a near novice level it is a fast highly damaging attack.

This seems like it could be a long grind =P do you guys have any tips? what line to go up first? what item to craft for the best xp rate? Maybe a macro? Didn't see any grinding info on the stickies so I thought i'd make a thread. Much appreciated

I found the best way to grind WS is by doing the warhead grind. Work on getting the munition tree and once you get Advanced Munitions Crafting all you ahve to do is make heavy warheads. They give you about 785 xp per. Check out the sticky post Logix's Pentultimate Guide to Weaponsmith. It is chocked full with useful information and about mid way down the post there is a link to the ex-crafter grind. It will give you the complete laundry list required to master, plus the universal crafting macro. It took me about a week to master WS and I took my time.
Good luck in your grind.
