Let The Best Paintball Players Be Your Guide

By Ryan Gert

Paintball is a thrilling sport full of shooting, running, squatting, crawling, and more. It is an active sport that favors those who have fast reaction time, are quick, have good accuracy, and have good experience.

When picking for teams, the more experienced, better players are most likely to be picked before anyone else. When you are first starting paintball, you don't have any experience, but once you are past your first game, you will have one games experience under your belt. The really good people will have hundreds or even thousands of games under their belt and lots of paintball tips stored in their head.

How can you accelerate your learning time and get better faster? Nothing can replace real experience, but there is a way that you can accelerate your skill level by modeling players who are at a higher skill level than you.

If you study them, learn from them and mimic them, you can get better faster. Just as those who take lessons from masters get better faster than those who don't, you will get better if you let players who are better than you give you helpful paintball tactics.

Lots of experienced paintball players will give you paintball tactics without you even having to ask them. If you strike up a conversation with someone that is a good paintball player, the conversation might just lead to them giving you lots of paintball tactics.

Someone with experience has been in far more situations than you and has a better idea of what works and what doesn't. They have a better idea of when to move, where to move, how to move, when to shoot, where to shoot and how to win a paintball game.

Soak up everything you can from those that are better than you, and you will grow and become a better paintballer faster than if you relied on experience alone. Always strive to learn from those who are better than you. - 16887
