Skills and Drills to practice

The primary thing the whole team needs to work on is working as a team. When we meet we'll begin working on that. If you can, just work on your accuracy at home or other places. Also, try to work on learning to fire accuratly while moving. This can be tedious, but sometimes you'll need to eliminate a target while you get to a better position.

I am aware of Blitz's offer to host private court time, and I also believe that the ability to run and fire accurately will be a useful skill. However this is one skill that is honed with practice.

In any case, everyone should practice their overall aim, they should also be aware of the range that their marker can fire; otherwise you'll be wasting paint on a target outside your range. The ability to move stealthily while maintaining a good travel speed is important, as is the ability to know when do crawl, crouch or run.

Know the terrain; if the area you are in is full of tall grass, use the advantage to crawl through it. However, mind the wind; it can give away your position if you move the grass in a way inconsistent with the natural surroundings. If you have high ground on your side, and you have a weapon capable of firing long distances, try to snipe. If the location is more flat terrain, with small ravines and ditches, a few scattered hills, and the occasional bunker, knowing the best location to move to is key to surviving and victory. If it's forestry, mind your footing. Try to avoid steeping on dry leaves or fallen sticks. Abnormal noise in the forest can alert nearby enemies to your presence and your location. It is recommended that you roll your foot from the outside of the heel to the inside of the toes for the right foot, and the inside of the heel to the outside of the toes for the left. This will help keep the noise level down as you move.

The way you move your body can also effect your ability to sneak up on a target or bunker. Don't keep your body stiff; let it stay loose. Move at a slight crouch; never stand up, especially when there are nearby enemies. If you can, practice moving quickly while holding your weapon steady. This will increase youir chances of hitting a target who suddenly appears nearby.

Specific tactics we will be covering include:

High crawl
Low crawl
Crouch Run [AKA Roadie Run]
Stealth walk
Camouflage Tactics
Suppressive firing
Focus firing
Hand signals
Command orders
Designations

We will also cover positions and field tactics.

I'm thinking of our team more or less as an actual military unit, so think SWAT. lmao. Anyway, the reason teamwork is so critical is because it'll boost our ability to win if we actually work together to complete objectives and eliminating enemies. A win is a boost to moral. More moral, the better we play!

I'm thinking SWAT cuz Special Weapons and Tactics are kinda what we are. Our weapons are special, since most of them are uprgraded from the standard, and we will be using many tactics practiced by actual military units. I have a few friends who can help with those, one of which is on our team.

In my opinion, instead of doing drills, we should just play practice games together, and as we practice, well...will be playing. We can get at last 5 other members to be enemy so as we practice these tactics we will be using them, well, hands on, if you know what i mean, better then doing a certain tactic over and over again. in time we will learn these tactics hands on rather then just practicing, you make a game (practice game) and then discuses what needs to be improved on and we play.

i agree that playing more together will help our game as a whole, but think of this, what if the captian and ranking members don't know each strength and weakness of each member, and they get thrown into a situation where they become useless, hence why doing drills together will help everyone understand where we are in relation to eachother, a team is only as good as their weakest player

no what i mean is i don't want to practice situations in a non-game situation, i just want to play an actual game but at the same time do different tactics that needs to be improved...I'm not going to go in some back yard and practice a tactic over and over again ...that's just stupid, reminds me of my piano lessons back in the day.

although no one wants to relive your piano experience, practicing is the only way to get better, it's like math, how do you get better? memorize the formulas so on the spot your prepared.

k i'm going to say this again. i want to practice we need to do that, but i want to set up a game were we will practice these tactics will have lets say a group of people come with us and will tell them the situation then as our team while the go to the base and set up we will go over the tactics and shit that we are practice then go. the other team will not no where we are or if were doming in our job is to use the tactics so they don't know, if the find out or spot us they are allowed to do an open fire, not fucking crazy, just like professorially and then our team, will have to get into gear and use the tactics shown to take down the team.. i don't what to practice as if its football when you just do drills over and over....so do you see now what i mean, i want to practice just in a real game sense. and like Dan has said probably will use dry fire.

oh, ok man i had the oppression you wanted nothing to do with practices at all

no no.. anyway so I'm glade we have that's cleared, I'm just waiting on Dan to post the days for meetings ...but i guess everyone knows by now that theirs one Wednesday and Friday . so see ya there! if anyone needs a ride call me on my cell at 519 280 3316 or at home phone ( 519) 637 2944 and tell me the street your on and like tell me if its near a well known place or meet me at a well known place like Walmart or the Elgin mall or the y m c a stuff like that....I'm not good at street names.

do you know of any dates during summer where it will be practice specific.

if so, it hasn't been planed so always check the forums under meetings to see if theirs any meetings as you know the meetings sheet will be updated every meeting and the summer months will not be posted to about June but you can always ask the captain.

Hate to tell y'all but nick is the only one here that has the right idea....
yes you may need specific moves or tactcis or whatever you wanna call it swat/military etc
first off you need to know your marker the best, be able to tear her down eyes blindfolded.
second you need to know your own personal limits. how far you can run how fast, how loud you are, how agressive how courageous.
THEN after that, you need to start bonding, on and off the field you need to be tight, you need to trust that the member behind you is going to cover you or else your going to be looking back which is bad.
You need to function as one. not nessicarly being all swat, but knowing that if joeblow cocked up and got shot you need to know how to adapt to account for that loss.

Last of all....stay in your god damn bunker....."thinks back to noob at dans bday..." idiot got me shot cuz i was screaming at his sorry to get back in the bunker lmao!

your absolutely right Devon i'm glade you explained what Ive been trying tell everyone i just couldn't get out in words.

HEY BOYS,
as you guys know we got a practice coming up and I just wanted to know what everyone wants
to practice? I have my ideas of what we need to work on as I'm sure we all do, so lets get something going

I don't know really, i guess will figure something out on sat.

it might be best to go into practice with an idea rather than coming up with when while we're there save time on set-up

^^ my thoughts exactly mate
