Quick & Easy Field Strategies

Quick and easy strategies on the paintball field will not only keep you alive but may even help you win the game.  Here's a few more tips to help you become crowned 'paintball badass' for the day....

• Keep your eyes open. I have seen so many players gain ground and then quickly get eliminated because they were not looking sideways. They go straight forward and then are attacked from other players from the sides and even behind them. This mistake is made so many times. It is a mistake even the most advanced players make. It's not easy to look around. Our brains always focus on one thing. Train yourself to look around as you run, hide, attack, and take cover.
• Be alert and never focus too much on one thing. Don't keep shooting at the same guy behind the paintball bunker over and over again. Move on and surprise him from the side or another angle.
• Don't stay in the same spot too long. If you are in a fort don't keep shooting from the same side forever, its not productive. Go to the other end, go to the second level. Move away from the bunker walk out unprotected and hold people down. Don't stay put!
• Never give up. Whether you run out of air, paintballs or energy... don't ever stop or quit, you are still useful. No one has to know that you are all out.
• Never call yourself dead if you are unsure. If you question whether or not a shot hit you and splatted call a paintcheck and have the referee check if you are dead yet. Don't just call yourself out because you felt a hit. Wait for the referee to confirm. Always call paint checks on yourself if you are unsure. Stay in the game as long as possible..... but be honest!
