How to Kneel and Shoot in Paintball

Shooting from a kneeling position is a critical paintball skill. There are a variety of bunker styles and shooting positions that require kneeling. If you learn how to position yourself behind a bunker in such a way that you still have the mobility to shoot, you can improve your game.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Evaluate the size and position of your bunker and then figure out if you want to stay or if you need to find a different spot. This helps you determine which stance is appropriate.

2. Bend down on one knee and keep your foot flat on the ground if you're behind a small bunker but want to get away quickly. This allows you to kneel in a compact position without compromising your ability to shoot. With one foot on the ground, you can spring to another bunker.

3. Place both knees flat on the ground if you plan on camping behind a bunker. Shooting from a double kneeing position is best, as it provides a wide center of gravity and lets you to shoot in any direction without moving too much.

4. Tuck your feet beneath your butt when kneeling on both knees. Feet splayed out behind you make easy targets. Tucking them in keeps them safe and sound.

Tips & Warnings

• When you're crouched on one knee, you might start looking in only one direction without realizing it. You should only use this position when you're getting ready to spring. Be sure to continue shooting on both sides of your body while you wait for your opportunity.
