5 Things Paintball Pros Don’t Do

In many sports, there are some obvious differences between beginners and pros. You can often tell how experienced a player is based on things they do as well as things they don’t do. Every player has good habits and bad habits. However, the pros have more good habits than bad habits. That is what makes them pros. They have had plenty of experience so they know what works and what doesn’t.

In the last AC Paintball blog, we discussed five things that paintball pros do. Check it out here: https://acpaintball.com/2019/02/18/5-things-paintball-pros-do/. In this blog, we will cover the opposite. Below you will find five bad habits you should avoid if you want to play like the paintball pros the next time you visit AC Paintball near Atlantic City, New Jersey.  

Stay In One Spot for Too Long

One thing the pros know is that if you stay in one spot for too long, there is a greater chance that you will get ambushed. They know that it is important to stay moving to stay in the game. If you are playing on one of AC Paintball’s speedball courses, you will want to hop from bunker to bunker. Bunkers are always laid out with a strategy in mind. If you are playing on a woodsball course, try to stay on the edges rather than traveling straight through the middle.

Take a walk around to observe the field before the game. This will help you greatly if you are not familiar with the field. You can create a plan so you know what you want to do as soon as the AC Paintball game starts. In many cases, the faster you are able to take action, the better your outcome will be.

Shoot Rapidly

You may think that rapid fire makes you look cool and may seem like fun, but this is typically not the best strategy. The only time it may be helpful to use the spray and pray method is if you are caught in an ambush. Otherwise, shooting rapidly only decreases your accuracy gives away your position and wastes paintballs. You will likely find that taking a few extra seconds to aim, will be much more helpful than firing all over the place.

Run Out of Paintballs

When you get wrapped up in an exciting AC Paintball game, it can be easy to forget to keep a check on how much ammo you have left. If you run out of ammo, it is game over. You will have nothing to defend yourself with. A game of paintball will quickly become a game of cat an mouse. Before each AC Paintball game, be sure you have plenty of ammo to last you the entire game. In most cases, it is safer to overcompensate. If you have too many, you can always split the price and the ammo with a friend or save them for your next AC Paintball game.

Let Their Nerves Get the Best of Them

One thing that can set professionals apart from amateurs in any sport is how well they can compose themselves. If the game is close and you lose focus, you will likely make silly mistakes. However, if you remember that the game isn’t over till it’s over and that anything is possible, you can make an awesome comeback that people will talk about for days. Confidence is one of the biggest factors when it comes to playing well or playing poorly. Don’t let your nerves get the best of you.

Stop Improving

Finally, a professional knows that they are never done practicing. There is always something for you to improve on and there will always be another goal for you to strive for. You can become faster, more accurate, improve your endurance, improve your decision-making skills, etc. This is yet another factor that makes a pro stand out. Just when you think they have reached their peak, they get even better.

The best way to keep improving, it to keep practicing. AC Paintball in southern New Jersey is the perfect place to do so. Schedule your next AC Paintball game now! You can do so on our website here: https://acpaintball.com/schedule-paintball-game/. You can also call us at 609-561-3883.
