I know it's short notice, BUT it's worth the shot to ask.
Tomorrow it's the World Paintball Skills Championship in Hoover, Alabama and if you're nearby, it's worth the two-three hour trip to check this event out tomorrow, the 27th of July.
Now if you can't make it, it's ok because it will also air on PAX Communications sometime in September.
It's $7 per person to get in the gate and you'll be surprised to see the skills challenge of these players competing.
It's all about the individual player, almost like performing a practice drill, but it's in a timed competition.
At the start, each player begins at a bunker to shoot at a PVC Pipe Target and dump two hoppers of paint.
After doing so, they run down the lane to the next part of the obstacle which is to shoot at three standing targets from a laydown bunker. It's only one-shot per target, however, so every shot counts.
If they miss the target with that one shot, they have to go to the side of the bunker to the penalty box area to then shoot at the penalty flag to try again.
After all three targets are down, they advance. They then proceed to run back to the starting point. And since these is a timed event, they need to get there as fast as possible.
There will be a back player open class division and a front player open class division, as well.
It'll be lots of fun to watch in person, but if you do miss it, stay tuned at Modern Paintball details on when this will air live on PAX.
Thanks for your time in reading this and hopefully, we'll see you there (if you are nearby the area!).
Best wishes AO.
Sincerely,
Bea
PS Attached is a pic of the playing field during the morning set-up. It's not complete, but it will give you an idea of what it will look like. If you notice the far left of the lanes where the airball bunkers are set up, that's a finished lane with all the props up. I will post more pics for you to see a close-up of each part of the obstacle in each lane.
