The Importance of Camouflage During Paintball

Too many paintball players find themselves relying all too much on their paintball gear. You can have the very best paintball equipment and marker, but if you make yourself an obvious target, you will be out of the game before you even get started! Although constant movement is an important part of being a successful paintball player, if you want to be as stealthy as you can be, then you need to learn how to camouflage yourself. 

In one of our previous blogs, we talked about the two kinds of paintball play, woodball and speedball. To recap, woodball is generally a slower form of paintball, usually played in the woods, and speedball is played in a smaller field with less obstacles. Speedball is much more fast paced, but woodball is much more popular. If you are playing speedball, camouflage is less of a priority than movement, but when you camouflage yourself properly for woodball, you are much more likely to be successful! Camouflage decreases your enemies' chance of seeing you, which will allow you to eliminate them much more effectively.

Although it is important to have quality paintball equipment that you can rely on, how well you do in a game of paintball is about so much more than just the equipment. If you don't know how to camouflage yourself in woodball, you are holding yourself back! Want to learn how to camouflage yourself like the pros do? If so, please stay tuned for our next blog! Our experts will be giving you some tips on how to camouflage yourself like never before!
