1V1 Snap Drill

by Evan

To support Dana’s snapping post, here is an easy, paint-friendly drill.

Both players will start at the break. A third person can call the game to start, and both players will sprint (like they would in a real game) to their designated bunkers. These shouldn’t be too far apart. There should be no shooting until the players are in their bunkers. This will get the adrenaline going, and hopefully create a better simulation of a real game.

The rules are simple. After the players have reached their bunkers, they are allowed to start shooting, but only one ball per snap. They must come out and shoot once, and then go back inside before coming back out to shoot another time. The object of the game is to learn accuracy, not volume. Posting is perfectly legal.

After a person is hit, have another player from your team run in and take his spot. The winner will stay. This is a great drill to improve personal gun fighting skills while using a minimal amount of paint.
