How to Bunker Kings

Get the timing down to know when to take over the throne.

Everyone who plays paintball wants to be a bunker king andjoin the ranks of
superstars like Markus Neilson, Chris Lasoya, and Oliver Lang. Bunker kings
are the people you hear about who make the key bunkerings, run-throughs,
and game-breaking moves during games, moves that set them apart from the
rest of the field. You do not just become a bunker king overnight. It takes a
lifetime of experience, extraterrestrial senses, winning the lotto, and years of
practice to be lucky enough to earn that rank. Since king status is so hard to
earn, I made up my own category for the less fortunate people, like myself
(sorta), who have not yet mastered their domain. I call it bunker queen status,
for all of those folks who need work on bunkering and aspire to be kings.
So you finally sack up and want to get past bunker queen status? Well I’m here
to help and give some advice on some of the things that will help you get there,
and let you in on some tips from my team, Team Avalanche. Whether you are
a front guy looking for that game-breaking move, a mid guy taking out a key
person, or a slow back guy looking for your one chance at glory, these simple
tips will add another dimension to your game.

When I think about bunkering, there are five major areas that come to my mind

that are necessary if one is to complete a successful bunker move.
They are:
1. Recognizing the bunker move.
2. Setting up the move.
3. Timing the move.
4. Executing the move.
5.Following through after the move.

These five areas should be thought about before you do any bunker move and
it should never take more than a couple of seconds, sometimes even quicker, to
think of all these things. Now you can go from the one-handed bunkering newbie
who makes all the people on the sideline go, “WOW, what an idiot!” to that person
who makes everyone say, “Wow, that move was sick as hell.”
