- Practice both horizontal and vertical tracking
- Focus on smoothness rather than speed initially
2. Flicking Practice (3 minutes)
Move on to rapid target acquisition to improve your reactive aiming:
- Start with stationary targets
- Progress to moving targets
- Focus on accuracy first, then increase speed
3. Recoil Control (3 minutes)
Practice controlling the spray patterns of common weapons:
- Start with short bursts
- Progress to longer sprays
- Practice transferring between multiple targets
4. Movement Drills (3 minutes)
Combine movement with shooting to warm up your coordination:
- Practice counter-strafing and shooting
- Work on peek techniques
- Combine different movement patterns with target acquisition
5. Mindset Preparation (3 minutes)
Take a moment to prepare mentally before jumping into games:
- Set clear goals for your session
