| Re: Will you hit what you are shooting at? This is good info, but really only a portion of it pertains to paintball, the majority is for precision semi-automatic weapons, sniper rifles and automatic weapons, and as for your question there SgtScot, the 2/3 rule really does not apply to paintball at all, as the trajectory of the round can change dramatically based on many factors like moisture (in the barrel and the atmosphere, as in rain or snow) gas pressure/velocity, composition of the paintball, etc, etc. |

| Re: Will you hit what you are shooting at? Brings back memories of my first time firing a gun with my dad. All I got was business end, trigger. guns off or on, loaded or not, the gun is always aiming at a target. intended or not. I hit want Im gunning for more times than not.

| Re: Will you hit what you are shooting at? A buddy of mine taught me a great drill for firing/targeting on the move.. 1) Measure off a known-distance target at 50 feet. 2) Fix a LARGE round (pizza pan) target to that point. 3) WALKING side-to-side from 50 ft before to 50 ft after, fire 20 rounds at the target. Count your hits when you are done. Then clean the target to prepare for the next pass. 4) Once you can put 10-15 rounds on target, change the movement speed to TROT, then JOG, then RUN, then SPRINT...until you can put 10-15 rounds on target each pass no matter how fast you are going by it. 5) Once you can do #4, change the size of target circle to MEDIUM (saucepan lid) and repeat #3 & 4. 6) Once you can do #4 & 5, change the size to a SMALL target circle (pie pan shell) and repeat #3 & 4. 7) Once you can do all of #1 - 6, change the distance to 100 ft and repeat. 8) Once you can do #1 -7, have 2 targets up at 50 AND 100 ft, but random target circle sizes...passing grade is 5 or more hits in EACH target, no matter which size or which distance. Pick target circles that can make noise when hit - that will help you (or your spotter/observer) count your hits by hearing as well as visually. It will also help you count your hits as you move. This drill does require regular practice, but it pays off big when you can zero in a targeted shot with only 3-5 balls instaed of 'hoppering and hope'. --TAG-- Last edited by TAG : 04-12-2008 at 03:00 AM. |

| Re: Will you hit what you are shooting at? That drill works great, my friend and I used to do the same thing except we used a fence post and would very the distance and change the angle we ran to and awy from the target.
