\begin{abstract}  We examined the relationship between distance, accuracy, and time in the firing of a paintball marker. Participants were asked to fire 5 paintballs at targets at 3 different distances and the time between the first and last shot was recorded. Accuracy was measured by taking the distance between the mark and the centre of the target. It was hypothesized that accuracy would increase as distance decreased and that shooting time would decrease as distance decreased. The difference between mean accuracy at 10 and 30 metres was found to be [VALUE]. 67.77 cm.  The difference between the mean shooting time at 10 and 30 metres was found to be [VALUE]. 2.493 seconds.  These were the most pronounced differences in the means which allowed us to confirm our alternate hypothesis. The study also briefly examined the effects of experience on speed and accuracy. \end{abstract}
