Shoot a Nerf Gun Accurately

Nerf guns can be a ton of fun to play with. But they can be hard to shoot accurately. Here are some things you can do if you are having trouble hitting your targets. But you must be careful.

Steps

  1. Figure out how the gun shoots and reloads. By doing this you will learn to get the grips of the gun. You aren't going to be able to shoot anything if you can't fire and reload your gun. You almost always fire with the trigger and you almost always reload by inserting the darts into the front of the gun or inserting a magazine. You can also ( in guns like the Recon, Longstrike, and clip system guns is to put the dart in the cocking mechanism.)
  2. Find a target. You can also make Make a Target for a Nerf Gun. Good targets are a soda can, a dartboard, or anything that you can shoot at with your dart gun.
  3. Practice shooting and reloading every time you can. Use a target and fire as many shots at it as you can as fast as possible. This will be useful when you play with your friends because you need to get another shot off quickly, or your friend will run up and get an easy hit on you.
  4. Try different scenarios. Try hiding behind something and going up for a second to fire a shot, and then ducking again. You can also try putting your back to the back of a wall next to a doorway and practice peeking around and firing quick shots. Do anything that applies to what you want to use your Nerf gun for.
  5. Aim above the target slightly, nerf darts drop over distance.
  6. Watch out for civilians. Learn to aim through, over, or under a crowd of people as to not hit civilians and always hit your target.
  7. Learn to use the wind to your advantage. Try not to shoot facing the wind and always try to circle around your target until the wind is hitting your back, then shoot. The extra push from the wind will help the dart fly harder, farther, and straighter.
  8. Get a group of friends for a nerf war or a nerf battle and have fun!



Tips

  • When sighting a target, your breathing keeps you from aiming straight. To fix this, you will have to know when you breathe in and out. You will find that there is a natural pause between inhale and exhale. You should shoot during this pause. Your darts will fly more accurately.
  • No matter how much you practice, not every shot will hit your target. The streamline-type darts have a very erratic flight path, and so do the whistles. The Tagger darts travel straighter than the others.
  • Work on holding your hands steady.
  • Generally, you will need to aim high, especially at further distances.
  • Calm down before you take the shot, don't worry about what you have to lose or gain by hitting the target, just settle down and slowly pull the trigger. Let the dart "surprise" you when it comes out.
  • Don't fire at close range objects too much. They will wear out your darts faster.
  • If your gun just does not fire accurately look for a way to modify(mod) it. Before modifying the gun you should do some research on the modifications side effects.
  • Practice, practice, practice.
  • Wear glasses or goggles to protect your eyes, especially when playing in low visibility conditions. You will be amazed at the "accidental accuracy" of other people.
  • Get your friends to get Nerf guns so you can play shooting games with them.
  • If you lose a dart, don't give up looking for it too quickly. You will be amazed at how quickly you will lose them.
  • Read the instructions that come with your Nerf gun.
  • Use the tactical rail to help you aim.
  • Learn exactly where the dart will go at different ranges.
  • Don't shoot at people until you master hitting stationary targets. And even then it may not be a good idea.

Warnings

  • Don't shoot anyone that isn't part of the Nerf war either.
  • Someone might get upset if you shoot them without them knowing beforehand.
  • Never try to shoot somebody if you are not in a Nerf war.
  • Don't aim for the face. You might hurt the other person.
