To me there is nothing more fun than going out and playing paintball. It's intense, fun, filled with action, and when the day is done it leaves me feeling great and a little more experienced. If you are here reading this, you probably feel the same way.

When picking for teams, the more experienced, better players are most likely to be picked before anyone else. When you are first starting paintball, you don't have any experience, but once you are past your first game, you will have one games experience under your belt. The really good people will have hundreds or even thousands of games under their belt and lots of paintball tips stored in their head.

How can you accelerate your learning time and get better faster? Nothing can replace real experience, but there is a way that you can accelerate your skill level by modeling players who are at a higher skill level than you.

Mirror them and let them be your paintball guide. Take what works for them and use it for yourself. They have become good paintball players by making mistakes and playing a lot. Trial and error teaches us what doesn't work and what does.

Also, don't be afraid to ask experienced players for their paintball tips. Some experienced players are not helpful to "newbies" and may not give you anything but rude remarks. If someone refuses to give you any paintball tip, don't sweat it, just ask someone more mature.

Many experienced players will gladly share their paintball tips with you. Listen to what they have to say, and soak them up. By learning the paintball tips from experienced players you will quickly learn lessons that they learned over hundreds or thousands of paintball games.

Take advantage of what they know and learn from them as you would a paintball guide. Learning from them will help you become a more skilled paintball player faster.
