Team Ironmen Drill

These are drills by Ollie Lang's Ironmen Team. I love to share with other paintballerz.
Welcome to the first of Seven Team Ironmen Drills. I've chosen these because I honestly believe they incorporate training in the most important aspects of the game.
Here we go!
Drill No1: One Ball Check In


Get two of the same bunkers, put them 5 yards apart facing each other. Get an opponent and each of you start tucked in behind your bunkers.


Pop out and snap shoot at each other only using one ball at a time.


Every time you shoot you have to check in (tuck in). You can come out post up and save your, shot but once you shoot you must check back in.


Do this with speed and quickness, if you get shot let your opponent know and keep doing it.


Learning to snap shoot accurately and quickly is one of the most important Paintball skills you can learn.

Drill No2 : Mirror Snapping drill

Set your Marker up fully with loader, barrel and tank. Get your self in front of a mirror lined up on the side so that you cannot see yourself. Slowly snap out and start to see when your elbow, loader, gun and mask become exposed. Fine tune this a few times and each time start doing it a little bit faster.

Once you start to snap fast enough, practice pulling the trigger, make sure the gun is off and every time the dark hole at the front of your barrel is pointed at the refection simulate shooting because that's were you would need to be pointed accurately in a real game scenario. I understand that this drill may seem different at first, but learning to snap correctly and quickly is one of the most important skills you need to master.

Drill No 3 : Running and Shooting


Set up a target 5 yards away in front of you, make sure you have about 5 yards distance on each side of you.


Mark with cone or anything that will be visible every five feet left and right of you.


There should be three sections 5 feet, start on the far right marker raise your gun and shoot at the target while you run to the first marker.


Then switch hands and run back to the starting point shooting at the target.


Repeat again but this time run to the second marker, switch hands again running and shooting back to the staring point.


Do it again, but now running to the final marker shooting at the target and do it again.


Running and Gunning with both hands will get you more kills. So learn to do it well!

Drill No 4 : Bunkering

Set up three or four cones behind a series of bunkers.


Start in a bunker shooting a target down field to symbolize putting your opponent in.

Launch from your bunker with your gun in the right hand and always point up barrel aimed right at the bunker where the cone is placed.


Shoot the first one, then immediately point your gun at the next bunker where most likely your opponent would be, then run and shoot the cone and repeat on to the last target.


Start with all the targets (cones) on the left hand side so that you use your right hand and opposite if you are left handed. Then switch the targets to the right and use your left hand.


Repeat numerous times then put two on the right and two on the left and practice switching hands from right to left and left to right while running and shooting.


Don't bunker using just one hand, it looks like you are flailing around and it not effective. Use proper form with both hand aiming down the barrel with the butt of the gun near your chin. Remember that practicing the correct techniques is the only way that it will become second nature when you are in the heat of the battle.


Drill No 5 :Death Alley: Reading the Stream


Stand fields distance away and have your friend or team mate shoot at you.


Have him give you a warning shot as to gauge the ball. Then have him say "live" and take a shot at you. Learn how to read the ball coming your way and dodge it.


Then set up a target in between the two of you. As he takes a shot, dodge it have your gun up and take two shoots at the target, once you shoot, he shoots again.


Being able to read your opponents shots is a valuable skill. This is one of the key aspects of your play that separates the Pros from the amateurs.


Drill No 6 : Two on Two Aggressive


Get four of your teammates, cut off half the field you are playing on usually the opposite side of the snake.


Start in your bunkers, you only have 30 seconds to move down field quickly and aggressively once you shot one player you only have ten seconds to move in on the last, note if it becomes one on one just play it out.


This drill is to master communication. The two should never lose to the one.


This is a great drill because it actually simulates real situations that happen often in games.


Drill No 7 : Attack the Snake


Get 6 of your teammates, this is a 3 on 3 drill using only the snake side of the field. Each team starts like they would at the break out.


It's a two-minute drill and all that matters is getting your player to the snake and obtaining it. If one team maintains control of it for ten seconds the drill is over, if both sides obtain it, it is a wash and one of the players needs to eliminate the other.


The other two players figure out how to protect their teammate and keep the opposition out of the snake.


I hope you have been practicing these drills. They work for us and they really cover the most important aspects of the game. I have dozens more strategies, techniques, tips, secrets and much more. It's a 150 pages packed full of great info.  http://www.Power-Paintball.com
