you might want to consider turning down the velocity, that may help if you have it cranked up. you may also want to look into a better barrel because the stock barrel isn't known for its accuracy.

there's your problem.
Walmart paint sits fro who knows how long and get dimples. It's never good paint to srart with. Buy paint from your local field and you'll see massively improved results.

Yeah, but is there any other places I could purchase them. There are no local fields around to buy good paint.

If you are stuck with Wal-mart paint buy Visible Impact it is the best they carry and as far as paint goes it is surprisingly good quality I'd even take Visible Impact over a lot of higher priced paint just make sure to open the box before you buy it. When you open the box you are checking the bags for dimpled paint (if the paint looks like golf balls that's bad) and broken paint in the bags. Cheap paint is the biggest factor in poor accuracy I know it is tempting to save a few bucks but if you can't hit anybody you may as well have not bought any paint at all.

The reason Visible Impact is so great is because it's manufactured at the ProCaps factory, same place that makes Draxxus!
Even so, Visible Impact isn't immune to WalMarts bad paint handleing practices...  |

A good online place or your local field or your local pro-shop (field and pro-shop is preferable).

Yes, and DXS Bronze on up, Diablo Nightmare (or so I've heard), ProBall, Premium, AllStar (or so I've heard again), Stinger, Spyder Black and Red Lable, and such.
Anything thats kinda expensive should be pretty decent.
