ifu wanna practice shooting and accuracy, do what i did. i put a
bowling pin hanging from a tree (u can use something else, its the only
thing i had) and shoot at it its good for acuracy because its a
moving target. Also the only way ure gunna get better is by experience
and being out there. also......dont get shot. I hope this helps

Dont be afraid to get hit. Be very agressive and just run like hell at close as you can, finding temporary bunkers to use as quick cover. Dont stay in one spot, and always try to be aware of who is where. -------------

The first upgrade you should always get would be a new barrel. ------------- This sig doesnt fly. A-5 E-Grip Lapco Bigshot 12" (Bead Blasted) Maddmann Spring Kit |

First, welcome to paintball! Brass Eagle Is a hunk of junk, you wasted your money, it breaks very easy. But I don't want be a buzzkill if your lucky maybe play a few games. I would not spend money on upgrades I'd save my money and get something better. Remeber to duck and look out for flying paintballs.

Your better off using a not-so-good gun first. This way youll get better skills since thats 90x more important then the marker your using. Once youve had plenty of practice using it and you feel its time to step up, get somthing higher end such as a Tippmann A-5. -------------

Take your gun back if possible say it's broken then get refund buy a 98c or A-5 and then if you're playing woods upgrade if not decide how much speed you'll play(tournament or just here and there) if it's the latter then stick with a 98 or A-5, if it's big tournies stick with the 98 then move on up to something higher end. -------------

The go for a 98c, or an Ion, Ion's are ugly, but they work you'll need HPA however. I still think you should take it back. -------------

Tips eh well go out and play as much as you can but also watch what the
more expirienced players are doing ask them for there advice on the
field and stuff. remeber its not the marker that counts its the skill! O and don't get a new marker so soon i no the one u have sucks but you wont to play a bit first no what u want to do in paintball speedball or woodsball. take you time getting a new marker do lots of research and if i were u i would just keep saving your money and buy a really good marker. |

Webdogradio has a few videos up I believe. Anyway good luck with your gun. I don't know how good it is. It is a brass eagle, so you may have some problems. Just do some target practice. Set up some pop bottles in the woods and try to start and act like you're playing. Most of all be safe. Read the rules at your field. If you don't have a field, make sure you wear your mask and goggles at all times while playing. Just use common sense mostly. You'll never enjoy paintball if you're not safe. Also play only with safe people. I don't care if they are your best friends. If they aren't safe ditch them. A good gun would be the 98c with a 12" Lapco Bigshot. Then you can get some of your other primary stuff like air or CO2 and a good mask. |
