Crawling
Now that Spring has arrived at the Dark Forest, it is possible to incorporate an important paintball skill into your game. With the added foliage on the sides of the field, crawling has become effective once again. By crawling you can now bypass the main enemy force and attack from behind, taking out the lot of them in one fell swoop! While this tactic will get you killed if not properly executed, with some skill, you can eliminate 2/3 of the adversary. While this article explains nothing about crawling, it will now tell you that you can learn how to become an excellent crawler by talking to expert player like Barry Schippang or Nelson Fonseca.

Timing
Timing is arguably the most important aspect of paintball. It is especially important in the woods at this time of year, with so much cover. Timing is also a hard skill to teach. You must learn by experience how to identify the best time to pull the trigger.

Snap Shooting
As you may or may not know, snap shooting is an important skill, which can easily be worked into your game. Snap shooting is a technique best used after you’ve already fired at your opponent and no longer have the advantage of surprise. Snap shooting is simply quickly pivoting out from behind cover with your gun ready to fire. This eliminates the time it takes for you to lift the gun to your face and aim. When you snap shoot, you should get ready to fire while behind cover. Pivot out of cover, fire, then get back behind cover. It is important to quickly snap in and out of cover as quick possible and to expose as little of yourself as possible. For an example ask an experienced player like Nelson Fonseca.
