Details
This tutorial helps players choose and use barrel socks correctly. Barrel socks must fit securely over the barrel tip and remain in place during movement. Adjustable cord systems allow players to tighten the sock around the marker’s frame without slipping.
Players inspect the sock’s stitching and fabric for wear, as weak areas may fail under tension. Consistent buildup of paint inside the sock is cleared by rinsing with mild soap and allowing it to dry thoroughly.
The tutorial emphasizes keeping the sock easily accessible in gear bags so players can quickly transition between active play and safe handling.
Properly maintained barrel socks improve equipment readiness and reliable safety habits.
