Why Fall is a Good Season to Play Paintball

Posted by & filed under Events, Fall Season, Paintball Games, Paintball Tips, Playing Paintball in the Fall Season, Uncategorized.

Paintball is a very fun and strategic game. It is almost always better to play paintball in warmer weather, but in the dead of summer, it can be very hot and humid to be out for long hours of the day. When playing paintball, it’s important to dress appropriately due to the fact that you will be getting pelted at some point with paintballs.

Fall is usually a very good season to play paintball because the weather is a little bit cooler, but not too cold. You still have sunshine and somewhat warm weather, which helps with choosing how to dress. You can still give yourself protection with your clothes without being overheated.

How to Dress for Paintball in the Fall

Although we don’t want to rush the last couple months of summer, we are still looking forward to some cooler weather in the Fall season to play paintball with our friends and family. When figuring out how to dress for a paintball match in the Fall season, you can bring out your long pants, long shirts, and other protective clothing for when getting hit with paintballs.

  • Wear Long-sleeves
  • Wear pants
  • Wear boots

Having the option to wear lighter shirts so you don’t have to sweat too much is beneficial for playing paintball. You still want to protect yourself from bruises when getting hit, but you have the room to choose.

The Benefits of the Fall Season

If you’re in a climate like we are in New Jersey, you most likely appreciate the Fall Season. The leaves start to change into beautiful colors, the weather is still very comfortable and warm, yet with a hint of chill. You have the ability to wear warmer clothes without being too hot, and you enjoy spending time outdoors.

The Benefits of Playing Paintball

Not many people think of paintball as the first activity to jump into when the nice weather rolls around. Paintball has many great benefits, but you have to remember that in the summer, it can get pretty hot outside, so it’s important to have that in mind.

  • Exercise Your Body
  • Adrenaline Rush (Blood Flow)
  • Learn the Game
  • Tactical Moving
  • Critical Thinking Skills
  • Develop Strategy

These are all pretty good benefits of playing paintball. You’ll learn new skills and have the opportunity to spend time with your friends doing an activity that everyone can enjoy.

Prepare Yourself for Warm Weather While Playing Paintball

Like we said above, playing paintball in the summer can be hot. You’ll need to make sure you bring enough water to stay hydrated. When it comes to clothing, you’ll have to consider the warm temperatures, but you don’t want to just wear shorts and a t-shirt. The paintballs won’t feel great if you get hit on the bare leg or arms.

It’s recommended to wear paints and a long sleeve shirt at least to protect your skin against the paintballs. You can wear a jacket or vest as well but remember that you’ll be warmer with more clothing on during the summer season.

Improve Your Paintball Accuracy With These Helpful Tips

Posted by & filed under Paintball Tips.

Paintball Player Takes AimDid you know that there are more than 3 million people who play paintball in the U.S. every year? If you want to stand out in the crowd and become a better paintball player, there are a few simple steps you can take to improve your aim and accuracy. Let’s start with some extra practice!

Practice shooting when you’re not playing

If the only time you shoot your paintball gun is during competitive matches, it can be difficult to identify bad habits that might have a negative effect on your accuracy. Practice on a shooting range when you’re not playing to improve your technique and get more comfortable with your gun. You can start by shooting stationary targets to dial-in your aim, and then gradually incorporate moving targets to simulate the fast action of a paintball match.

Choose the right gun

The most accurate paintball guns are typically those that have long, slim barrels. Extra attachments and accessories might seem beneficial, but their added weight can make it harder to aim as well. If you’re shopping around for your first paintball gun, it’s a good idea to practice with a simple, straightforward configuration before adding attachments like flashlights and bipods.

Stay calm and be patient when firing

It can be difficult to shoot accurately when you’re tense and anxious. During a match, you might even let your adrenaline get the best of you and start firing at random. Try to maintain a calm, focused demeanor when shooting to give yourself the best chance of hitting your target. Obtain your sight picture, take aim at the target, and take a couple of deep breaths before pulling the trigger. This process might take a few extra seconds, but it can significantly improve your hit ratio.

Wingman

There are probably plenty of different names for this game mode, but wingman is one version to remember. In wingman, you have teams of two, and you can have as many teams as you want. You and your partner have to eliminate every other team out in the field. This is just a more competitive elimination game mode that spices things up. It’s important to stick with your partner as much as you can. 

Attack & Defend

This game mode is extremely strategic for people who are looking to play. In attack and defend, you have two teams, and the two teams usually are not even in terms of the ratio of players. It depends on how difficult you want the defend or attack to be. The defending team will have to secure a position such as a bunker, hill, or other secluded are to defend. The attack team will start on the opposite side, and they will have the ability to attack from all different angles. 

Capture the Flag

Capture the Flag is one of the most game modes besides Team Deathmatch (Elimination). In Capture the Flag, you can either decide to have one flag planted in the middle of the field or two flags in each teams’ base. Each team has to fight their way to each other’s flag and return it to their own base. When there is one flag planted in the middle, each team has to fight to capture that one flag and of course return it to their own base.
