10 Tricks Towards Becoming an Elite Player
The lead paintball players get top performance out of their markers and play of the highest level through experience, trial and error, and by learning from other players. Top level players also learn how to play in such a high level by reading expert articles from resources like Action Pursuit Games Magazine and reading buyers guides from paintball magazines like What Paintball Gear?. The more you read and the more time you spend applying what you have learned, the better player you will become over time. As you practice, play, and buy paintball gear, you will learn the importance of the little things like lubricating your marker and regular gear maintenance. In this article, we will suggest about tricks for getting the most production out of your marker and for executing plays on the field.
- Keep your marker clean. If the paintball chops inside your marker, stop what you are doing right away and clean it out. Clean thoroughly where the ball broke. Clean the bolt, bolt face, and clean the barrel of the marker.
- If a paintball does break in the marker, make sure to clean out all of the paint as well as the film, shell bits, and any other debris that does not belong there.
- If you continue to chop paintballs inside the marker, take the gun apart and check for marker damage. Disassemble the marker, and check out the bolt face for burs, nicks, chips, and other damage.
- If you have found any damage to the bolt face or o-rings, then you should replace the damaged components.
- If you have played a day of paintball where paint chopping in the machine was a problem, take the machine apart and inspect all of its components for scratches, fraying, or other damage. Check out each individual part. When I am playing with the paintball gun that starts to fail, I usually check the sear and hammer first. For my marker to operate flawlessly, the hammer and sear must be sharp, with cleaning edges that are not worn down or worn out. If your bolt, sear, and hammer do not show any obvious signs of wear and tear, have an airsmith inspect the entire machine. An airsmith is to a paintball gun what a blacksmith is to machine tools.
- Take good care of all of your paintball clothing. You want to come to the field with clean clothing so that no section of it gets you eliminated because of the previous paintball impact.
- Take care of all of your camouflage jerseys and paints.
- If you can, buy camouflage jerseys and pants that match each other. If you wear jerseys and pants that are made up of two different patterns, you will be easy to get spotted in the woods.
- Freeze if you are in an open woodsball fields and a player has not spotted you yet.
- If you are lubing up your marker, keep the oil away from your compressed air tank, as the oil and high pressure could cause a spark.
