Having the best equipment is no good if you cannot outmanoeuvre your opponent, and for that you will have to know where your opponent is without disclosing your own location. Though a mad dash may lead to victory, rushing blindly without strategy will only result in a face full of paint. It is usually a good idea to keep moving so that your opponent never really knows where you are. One way of making your moves more effective is to take a walk around the field to find the locations that will offer better cover. This will also enables you to anticipate the moves of your competitors.

Shooting skills required in this game are different from the skills required in shooting with rifles. The techniques of shooting while sitting, kneeling, crouching, standing and running are different. Ideally you should be able to shoot in all positions. If you can shoot while standing, you can take long distance shots because aim is better in this position. If you have to slightly lower yourself, it is good idea to spread your legs further apart rather than switch to crouching position as this cannot be maintained for very long. Holding the gun tight against the shoulder increases accuracy and leaning forward reduces height to ensure better concealment.
When you are behind a bunker, you can take advantage of your ability to move your head up and down very fast while sitting. In this position, you will also be able to shoot from the sides of the bunker. if you can hide yourself in kneeling position, it may be a better idea to kneel because you will be able get up and run quickly if required. To ensure greater mobility, kneel on one knee and keep the other leg in such a position that you can move as soon as required.
When you shoot with a rifle while lying down, accuracy is largely determined by the stability of the front rest. However, this is always not the case in paintball. London paintball experts will tell you that you will have use your elbows to ensure accuracy of your shots.
Also remember that there is no point in overshooting. You must make sure that you do not shoot any competitor more three times. If you find yourself doing this regularly, you need to improve on your aim.
Keep these tips in mind while practising and you will be pleasantly surprised by the results.
