Paintball Training Part III
Snap Shooting
Snap shooting is a key fundamental in tournament paintball. One of the points of our previous snap shooting drills that has been frowned upon was the fact that it A. took up a lot of paint. and B. you could shoot as much as you want. C. therefore, many of the hits were based on luck, and not skill. With this drill technique, precision accuracy is nurtured, as well as minimal paint consumption.
Proper Form:
1. Too many players choose to kneel down, even when there is a choice where they can effectively play on their feet.
2. The standing position gives you a better center of gravity for balance and movement.
3. Notice how Fraige's upper body is one solid piece, including his marker. Shoulders are square with your opponent, and knees bent.
4. This is the proper stance, your legs are much stronger than your arms, so let them do all the work.
5. Notice how his marker aim stays straight, do not lower your gun, or move it from the proper gun holding position. You should never have to reposition your marker. Use your legs to make all the adjustments.
6. Not only is this more effective in actual snap shooting, but it will allow you to quickly take advantage of any possible window of opportunity that can happen to make a move and gain a better position on the field. Remember, speedball is in fact, fast, and if you have to take one extra second to get to your feet because you were on your knees, your chance could be gone, or you could end up with a paintball to the face.
