Details
A window shot is taken through a narrow gap called a “window” between obstacles, bunkers, or natural terrain. These small openings allow players to hit opponents who think they are safe but are actually exposed through the gap.
Window shots require: Strong accuracy Good marker stability Careful visual alignment Awareness of the field layout and sightlines
Players use window shots to punish careless exposure, counter defenders hiding behind imperfect cover, and create unexpected eliminations.
Mastering window shots turns minor gaps into major opportunities and helps players dominate angles many opponents ignore.
