playing a lie down on your off side

[ChiZZerS]

now we all now how it is uncumfartable it is playing paintball
with all them dodgy positons like leaning out with your ass end
behind the bunker and all your weight forward...
after reading paintball uk on ledz's stroy he says to play
side ways in istead of plying facing forward... yes this is more comfartable...ok but....

ime at a lie down on the 50.
i am a right handed player and there is p8nt smacking againt my bunker at full pelt and the only option is to play using my left.
i i find it realy dificult to play like this so anny help plz...

practice i guess is all that can be said, although at campaign i was lumber4ed with playing a left side lay down on the angel field, one thing i have to tell you is make sure you angle your hopper inwards like i do, ive seen so many players shot on the hopper cos it sticks out lots more than it should, it may hurt your wrist, but u should get used to it. also make your stomach muscles stronger because its better to not actually rest your arm/gun on the ground as your reaction will be slower so try and balance yourself instead, but as i said, you will need some serious stomach muscles for that

hah! i know it uncomfartable thats half the problem!
when you are uncomfartable you cant moove as quick

as i said, if u practice it, your muscles will get more accustomed and it wont be as uncomfortable, if you do however rest your gun on the ground, i find it easier to curl up a bit, which gives your body a spring motion, so you can in fact pop in and out easier, course the other option is snap shoot the fool in that is keeping you in on the right or get your back players to get him off yah

we train using pots as targets in a zigzag formation:

start by moving to 1st target firing right handed, ounce your've hit it swap hands & move diagonal to the next target whilst firing left handed, try that if it helps.

it's harder than it looks when you actually try it

really it just comes down to practice.

Honestly mate practice, practice and more practice!!

Then you don t even think about it when your in that situation, it just feels normal and you'll be confident you can make the shot

exactly, as soon as im playing, i dont dive into the bunker and think, dam i cant do this, it just comes with the territory, and happens its all practice

Why does everybody seem to fuss about using their off hand?

The answer is

Practice! Practice! Practice!

then it will come as a second nature to swap hands during the game.

Good Luck
