Potting up

You could practice potting up quickly to save time on the field etc and keeping yourself as small as possible such as the way your holding your gun and tucking in... You'll be playing alongside me i think so keep the practice up

someone told me to practice switching right to left vs targets on the tv

First thing to practice is getting to the site.
Secondly - make sure your wallet is full - as it will be empty by the end of the day

Oh, most important rule of all - enjoy it!

As for 'moves' etc - don't worry about them - you'll get your chance to kill someone

and if camping the night before make sure your bottle/glass lifting skills are up to it

Snap shooting is a great skill to practice at home, dont even need to use any paint, just grab your gun and stand facing a mirror, practice snapping out and in against, you can see your reflection to see how much of yourself you are exposing during your snapshot and can refine your motion as a result of that. Practice potting up too like some1 mentioned, its a skill worth having on the field, particularly if you can shoot whilst doing it, if you're playing back this is an invaluable skill as you can keep an opponents bunker locked down whilst you reload

while infront of the mirror put a line of masking tape down it to mark the edge of the barricade and practice coming out either side, showing just the bare minimum each time. it's amazing the no. of new players who keep their top half tight yet leave a leg or foot hanging out of the bunker. switching hands is a good one too, and walking the trigger (gun doesn't even have to be on, do it while watching TV-personally i recomend simpsoms or takeshi's castle )

when it comes to game time tho, just relax and have fun

think im getting the money thing together, got about £50 so far and will be working at the weekend, so thats £70 +50=120... that should be alright?
transport £25
paint £35 (or there abouts)
entry £35

so £95 should cover it right? (+the rest on beer money... of course )
there any eer hidden costs?
