Paintball Tactics: Snapshooting

One of the handiest paintball tactics that you can learn is called snapshooting. If you have played an online shooter game you will know what I am talking about.

Basically what you want to do is pop out from your bunker, fire a few shots, and pop back in. To be an effective snapshooter, you'll want to follow a few key rules:

• Always shoot from the side of your bunker, NEVER the top
• Fire your shots and be back in within 3 seconds

• Mentally picture your target and aim in that direction ready to shoot before popping out
• Mix it up by going out from both your left and right sides, as well as kneeling, crouching, etc.

• Always keep them guessing what you are going to do next

These are really key paintball tactics, particularly when playing speedball. Once you master it you'll drive your opponents crazy trying to hit you.
