Where To Practice Have you ever heard the saying, "How do you get to Carnagie Hall? ... Practice, practice, practice." If you want to get better at something (like paintball), you have to practice. So like anything else, if you want to get good at paintball, you have to practice; but where? My team (Team Trinity) has found a small, but very nice piece of woods close to where we all live to play in.

The Barrel Tap In paintball, it is considered unsportmanlike to shoot a player from closer than 25 feet. Sometimes you can sneak up on a player or if you get too close to him to shoot, you can use the 'Barrel Tap'. A Barrel Tap is when a player eliminates his opponent from the game by taping him on the back with the barrel of his paintball marker.

re: Store Your Paintballs CorrectlyYes, very correct, but one thing, the ingredients in a paintball WILL separate into different density levels, rendering them useless if left in one position too long. So if you're storing paintballs for an exessive amount of time (months), be sure that you store them in a flippable container, so that every month you can flip the container, thus reversing any seperating that may have started. Other than that, if you do everything in this thread, you should be able to keep paintballs stored for YEARS on end.

Speedball Basics Speedball is a fast pace game. It can be played indoors or outdoors, but generally played on a rectangular paintball field. Both sides of the field must be set up with the same arrangement of semi or permanent bunkers. However, speedball can also be played on a field with portable inflatable bunkers such as the half moon or the beam in instances where the players want to make their own original arrangement.

Aiming Strategy If you're aiming your paintball gun correctly, out to about 60 feet, you should hit your target. After that, the farther away the target, the tougher it is to hit what you aim at. Paintballs just don't fly straight all that far when there's the wind, and other reasons to make the balls curve in flight.

Scenario or Speedball - Which Do You Prefer? Scenario or Speedball?
I play and compete in both Scenario and Speedball. If I had to choose between the two or answer the question, 'which do you like better?' The style of game I would choose is scenario paintball. I like playing in the woods and running around, using natural things like trees, bushes and hills for cover.

Tactical Vest Benefits Benefits of a Tactical Vest
There are many benefits of wearing a tactical vest during paintball. First of all, it is a great way of carrying a large amount of ammo. This is important when playing in a large scenario game; in most of the ones I've played in, I had to carry most of my paintballs with me when I went out on a mission.

Accuracy Issues Accuracy 101
For all intents and purposes, including those of physics and science in general, no paintball marker can be more accurate than another because no bolt configuration can be more accurate than another, in theory. However, in the real world, this idea rarely plays out as it is intended to. Wind positions, temperature, your FPS reading, all of these will change on a second-to-second basis.

What Equipment Do You Recommend For a Beginner? Beginner Equipment
You've been playing paintball for a while, what equipment would you recommend for the newbie, just starting out?
Obviously, the most essential piece they're going to need is a paintball marker. The gun I would recommend for a beginner is a Spyder Xtra, Sonix, or even a Spyder MR1; these are easy to operate, maintain and there are many attachments and upgrades you can buy for them later.
