I have a pretty big backyard and I was wondering if you have any tips on setting up a paintball corse in my backyard.
Backyard Paintball
- Thread starter tires
- Start date
This all depends on how big....
Our team first started training on a field with a stream, and a 90 degree hill!
We got a few pallets together and built random base's over the field (not by any means good for tournament training though)
If you want to play tourny ball, and you have a fairly large garden then i would recommend getting some pallets, and some poles.
Simply bang the poles through the pallets and straight away you have a bunker. If youve got loads and loads of room, set these up at different heights (two pallets on top of each other) and use them like that.
If your limited for room, two bunkers will be still good facing each other - then just practice "snap shooting" between two people, Eg... both pop out and fire 3 balls at each other, then move quickly back in, the more you practice the better you get at accuracy, speed and playing tight. Or you could try the "posting" method, where one of you constantly aims at a bunker, and the other player has to snap shoot his way out, and then "post" on the other player if you manage to get him to move behing his bunker. Sounds confusing, but its quite basic.
Also set up barrells behind the bunkers and simply run past them and "mug" them over and over again until every ball you fire hits them - try it left handed (as you should do when snap shooting) and try it from different distances.
There are hundreds of drills you can do in a small space
hope this makes some sense, and helps!

make sure its not too near to ur house as you wouldnt want to be hitting the house, as burb said you should make to bunkers (make sure that you have enough people to play or it will be crap)
also (might sound wierd) you couldadd another bunker in to have 3 in all (never seen it happen) and have 3 teams all against all of course, it all depends on how big your "yard" is, cause over here in England our "gardens" are titchy compared to your "yards" even if they are big.

City
Also check with city to make sure that you can paintball in your backyard. I know that out by us, if the police catch you paintballing near or by residential they will take your gear away!

As long as it is ok with the property owners, it's legal and the police won't take away your equipment. But if you vandalize other ppl's property, they will.
Get a Cronograph! But some netting, and hang the netting to keep the paint from going where there are un goggled eyes.

Isn't a 90 degree hill more like a wall? Just wondering how anyone can run up that unless it is the matrix field
Whats a 180 degree hill then?
Perhaps i meant 67.8 degrees, anyhow its was steeper than a flat thing
**** would you look at that...a student that can do trigonometryOriginally posted by kris
burb you twat
180 degrees is flat
you can't have a 180 degree hill!
way to go Kris
