Well my brother is putting me down saying that i suk at paintball and

that his frends are way better than me and its really bothering me.

He says this because on sunday i went for the first time with his

frends to play paintball and it wasnt my best of days. So now hes

ratting on me on how i suk and his frends are the best. (my brother

and his frends are ppl whov paintballed about 6 times in there lives

and are rich and have bought ions with nitro and eggs and that stuff)

so now im thinking of playing alone for a while to i can get alot

better than i am now (ive been playing for a while now maybe 5

months) but i wanted to have your advice on how u became an

experienced and better player. Are taking big risks in paintball good

to do? and i was thinking of playing with experienced players but i

wasnt sure because i dont see how i would learn much when i see a

splat on my mask of the break. or get bunkered or shot fairly quikly

so is it worth playing with more experienced players? I want to shove

paint into my brothers and his frends faces and have fun doing

it when they see that i really am good. because after all having fun

is wat paintball is all about but my brothers comments arent working

thanks for your help

he's your brother. brothers are supposed ot be at eachothers back constantly.

suck it up. everyone sucks at first. What are you playing? speedball? woodsball? The problem I used to have was popping out from behind bunkers. You want to expose as little of yourself and your gun as possible. peek out with your face, but not your gun, and if you see a shot, pop your gun out, you know?

i do suk it up but wat bothers me is that hes my brother and instead of stiking up for me he stiks up for his frends. i play speedsball and im sometimes wondering if i should take a risk but end up not taking them should i take them? and should i play against those more experienced guys? and is there any other advice you can give me? thanks

**crustybug** · January 31st, 04:15 PM

well, being too reserved doesnt necessarily help. take risks, but only if you think they have a chance of working. Big deal if he gives you a hard time, tell him to screw off.

if you don't' like playing with your brother and his friends, then find other people to play with. you're what, 12? you've got plenty of time to learn how to play

smttyxc92 · January 31st, 04:23 PM

tell him to screw off. < that was funny lol ill b sure to tell him next time he bothers me. im 14 btw

but i do still have a long time to learn ur right but still i should i play with the more experienced players is that worth it?

**Gangsta_Redneck** · January 31st, 04:35 PM

yea take risks if u mess up and get out then dont worry about it. gotta learn somehow. Just ball thats how you get better

**green paint** · January 31st, 04:35 PM

Speedball is all about game breaker moves, which require "risk" as you put it. Big brothers give little brothers a hard time, thats just how it goes.

**bobide** · January 31st, 04:40 PM

playing against better players (or just watching them) is a good way to get better. If you pay attention and see what they do and how they beat you and use it yourself, you should improve.

thanks alot everyone

Playing with better players is best thing to do and ask them to give tou pointers most real plaers will help you learn the game. Thats if the are real players with a love of the sport.I was new player and asked alot of questions. Now I work in a paintball store and teach others players how to play better. Tell your brother that blood is thicker then water and to get bent.JUST ASK AND YOU WILL LEARN.

WHY did you bring this thread back up?

georgeminnick · March 5th, 01:24 PM

Why did tou reply to my message

***martix_agent*** · March 5th, 01:43 PM

you're now on my list of annoying people. all big and bad as a new member..pssh

***Wes Himself*** · March 5th, 02:25 PM

Play with more experienced people than your brother. They most likely wont be dicks to you like he is being and you might have fun.

And you're probably going to end up getting better than your bro. Especially if all he does is play people who just played for their first time and say they suck.

**NickBizzar** · March 5th, 04:16 PM

Yeah I have no idea why this thread is still alive, but I'll put my input in on it.

As far as I'm concerned, you have a brother who is very annoying. I've come accross many people who think they're the Sh**. No offense to your brother or anything, but yeah, just practice, watch videos on youtube and all that, then save up money, get a nice gun, and PWN his A**.

**Renegade_Storm** · March 6th, 08:47 AM

Try watching these videos for tips: http://webdog.specialopspaintball.co...video/tipclip/

Play with more experienced players, sure you'll get wiped up in the beginning, but you'll learn from your mistakes, get to the field when it opens, and dont leave till closing time, you'll learn from your mistakes really quickly, talk to the experienced players, and ask them what your doing wrong, and what you can improve on, talk to the ref's they'll help. just keep playing walk-on games and you'll get better. you can also work on your own with drills, play at the target range, practice snap shooting, and dont get too cocky, then stick it to your bro, then you'll be even, don trash talk, let your actions and your playing speak for you. good luck man.

wrath_ltd · March 6th, 09:19 AM

go out practice...play your heart out...and at the end of the day if you have palyed hard you have gotten better...don't let your brother get you down...it's his "job" to be mean...he is after all your older brother...
edit:if you trash talk more experienced players before you play them...they will wipe the field with you then laugh and not help you at all...
