Paintball Journal

A good team will always walk the field before a game begins. A great team will always walk the field and locate and exploit the greatest vantage points. This is a process that we are still learning, and one that will simply come with experience. It takes a special eye to know which bunkers are going to be top priority, and which ones are just going to be out there to fill space. Walk to every bunker to see which ones hold the lanes, which ones can post on the back left and right bunkers, to see which ones will be able to cover the snake, or provide your snake player some support.

When you have something of an idea which bunkers you will want to utilize, spend time in them and learn their angles. Where are they most vulnerable, what bunkers do they have angles on, and when the time comes, what is the next bunker that a player will bump to. Be sure to pay special attention to your back left/right bunkers, and the snake side. No matter how many players are in, you can bet these will be the most used on the field.
