How to Camouflage properly for Woodsball
Paintball is most famous these days, but in the past Woodsball had the leading role. Actually, it is the first format of paintball where players compete in a natural outdoors area, also using paintball markers to tag opponents. Typical for Woodsball is that many times it is practiced together with Scenario paintball, which is a version of paintball where players enact parts of a story or historical battle. In fact, that is what makes this type of paintball so interesting – each player has a tactical role – guerrilla type tactics are most often used and they all simulate real military situations, using proper weaponry and equipment. All these things cause Woodsball to be the most authentic from all sniper games that function on this principle.
Because players play in real surroundings, unavoidable part of their equipment is the camouflage. Like the real snipers, they like to blend in with the surroundings and insist to have adequate clothes and even camouflage paintball guns.
When it comes about the clothes used for these sniper games, there are two possibilities – to camouflage or not to camouflage. For your first day in the woods, do not insist to be all prepared and dressed up – dark pants and a dark, long-sleeved shirt are real choice, or maybe choose a sweatshirt if you think that it can pad your attire. If it is too worm and you do not pay much attention about the bruises, play with a short-sleeved shirt. It can be said that black is the top choice but other dark colors work well as well.
The idea is to avoid colors that you cannot find in your surroundings, colors that are not native for your playing field. With a few words, everything is good, as long as you stay away from bright and jarring colors.
The ones that choose to camouflage concretely camo-cloths are most often used choice. Some wear only a camo jackets but some decide for a whole suit. Most applied combination is camo jacket, camo pants, light brown t-shirt and a baseball cap – worn backwards to protect the neck.
Here is actually about a game, so the main thing is to have fun and to feel comfortable. Clothes should match the surroundings but more important is to be comfortable and to allow better mobility. There is no need to be fancy in the field; the idea is not to be detected and more important for that is to know how to position yourself and how to move.
