My History and Vision

What Is happening to the sport of paintball? What will 2009 be like?

I am trying to get the paintball market in Michigan to really hit it this next year. I think this sport still has a lot of growth to be done and us players are the ones responsible for doing this. Back in the day paintball was a FUN sport, I remember when I bought my Brass Eagle STINGRAY II, this baby ran on little Co2 cartridges and sounded like I was slamming 2 pipes together when it shot, but it was a great time, I got into the sport through a friend. And I believe that's how this sport is going to survive. So Fellow paintballers of Michigan get your friends ACTIVE, build a field in your back yard and support your local shops (personal service is better in person, rather than eBay)

In this blog I will be talking about Paintball as a market, giving my play experiences and also giving tips on how to become a better player. Also I will be trying to connect the area and the state to bring this sport to what it can be!

Here is my First Tip...

Door Snapshooting

What you Need...

1. Your Marker Fully geared up, including air tank, hopper (full)
2. You fully geared up, mask, gloves, jersey...everything you are going to wear when you play.
3. A Door Frame
4. A Mirror

The object of this drill is to practice shooting your reflection with out giving up too much of your profile. Use the door as a bunker. The goal of snapshooting is to eliminate your opponent with out being eliminated yourself. This is a quick practice and will help improve your awareness of your body while snapshooting.
