How many times is over shooting?

[Infratracide]

If i have an easy shot, i will shoot a burst of 3 and look to see his reaction. If he doesnt clearly put his hands up imediatly i will give him at least 1 more burst. I hate it when the rec players take a hit and just sit there and without caring to say 'HIT' and just kinda crawl away. Before they stand up ill shoot them again because to me they look like another confused player.

In a tourney, every situation is different and i think its only overshooting if the target is seriosly injured. All players should be taught how to shoot responsibly, and there should be consecuences for anyone who does otherwise

the ball that hits after they start to walk off.

i shoot till i see a break, you raise your marker, take off your armband, or scream that your out...and im half blind at distance so you better shout loud and get that marker up quick!

[Ter-Me-Nate]

last time i played speed ball 5 on 6, everybody was dug in and i got tired of just shooting, so i decided to just run straight out in the open for some action across the 50 screming because we were playing with a few noobs

well bad idea, i was shot probably 14 times, some from close and some from a-far and then 6 more times after calling myself out,,,,it pissed me off at first, the initial pain but after a minute "i thought to myself" hell i knew that was going to happen, and got excited about it and hyped up....

it was like walking out in front of that chain gun arnold uses shewwwwwwwwww

i voted 6

because if someones running at your bunker, and you shoot out 8 balls right at him, hes gonna take a beating. so if he gets hit about 5 or 6 times its tough **** buddy.

but in bunkering... no more than a quick burst. my brother took like 5 or 6 hits... from about 3 feet away. and left 3 nice scars on his arm

still, shoot til you KNOW they're out

I vote 7 but would have voted more if you had a higher number. A number like a hopper. Cause some people just don't get out when they are hit or suppose to. They will stop and watch the game or something so I will paint them up until they are in the dead box, that also insures no dead mans walk.

Well I play pump so anything over 1 is over shooting to me :)

A ref's opinion.

It depends on your skill level and the skill level of the kid getting shot.

An experienced player shouldn't shoot a newbie more than 3 times unless the balls are bouncing. I personally will pull experienced players for doing this in rec ball.

If the person is evenly matched to your skill level i won't call you on overshooting unless it appears that your are intentionally overshooting the other player. Like if they are screaming "out!" and your still shooting them for example.

I don't consider a bunker move successfull unless I put atleast 15 on them (and 3 or 4 in the head for good measure, Lasoya style).

[heftylefty]

well anything over 4 is definetely overshooting to me(when bunkering). when it was 1v3(me being the one), my friend comes around my bunker and pops me 4 times in the face! one hit my mask and hte shells like cut my cheek. the next two hit the lower part of my throat(the tracquia, dont know how to spell) which turned out to almost start gushing blood. the last hit my sholder. all i can say is to not shoot someone from the sholders and up when you bunker someone, it could severely hurt em. i never thought about my hit on the throat but when i got home, my mom was worried about it. i guess i could have gotten shot somewhere else on the neck and get a blood clot or somethin that could severely hurt me. its been almost a week and my neck is still in pain(3/4 of ht welt is a scab right now). all i can say is that its the nastiest hit ive gotten yet.

Someone should post that huntington beach avalanche pic. That guy was extremely bonus balled.

thats a pretty dumb comment cause concussions are not awesome. try having one and see how it feels.

when bunkering a short burst of three is the max you should put. when down field i think that 5-6 is a decent amount.

[Thordic]

I usually toss 3-6 balls into someone I have an open shot at.

If he doesn't start moving, though, I will unload my whole hopper on him until he decides that trying to stay in the game with a hit isn't worth it.

I don't believe its possible to overshoot someone who tries to play on. They deserve every ball in your hopper, and most of the ones still in your pack too.

[whopper72]

like many of you said its not so much the number its if you know if the persons marked already or not. its impossible to stop your balls once they are it the air.

An extreme example of over shooting is when your teamate has ben hit 4 times already and two refs are right next to him and pulling him out, and a guy from the opposing team is still shooting. with refs arms waving at him to stop he contunues hits each ref at least twice and the player 3 more times. And yet no call

[Sir Chopsalot]

at one field i go to nobody usually cares unless they have been hit 6+ or so but at another field that i try to stay as far away from as possible (i hate it with a passion) if you hit someone 2 or 3 times refs get up in your face, i seriously hate that field
