How do you guys warm-up?

So I've been having this problem where playing constantly for a week straight is the only way I can keep consistent aim (especially for Scout/Sniper). If I try to skip a few days from playing because of school and other reasons it drastically worsens my aim the next day I play.

Does anyone have any advice or warm-up ideas that can tackle this kind of problem? Any ideas on maybe how to warm-up since pubbing on no-crits doesn't really help me get used to tracking again? I know DM servers are out there but I'm also worried about Sniper.

try playing a pug before or mgeing to get your senses and aim warmed up that's what i'd recommend.

15 minutes of warsow or quake or something similar, 5 minutes of jump maps, 5 minutes of tr_flinger or tr_rocketshooting or similar. Try hard in pregame soapdm.

Usually not all that though, because I get told we have a scrim 30 seconds before it

i just show up, click on people, and complain about how bad everyone on my team is
(i play medic)

the more you practice the less your aim will suffer between gaps of not playing
(if practicing aim in a videogame is anything like practicing an instrument)
in the end (consistent, productive) practice can only significantly reduce how much your aim suffers when you come back to play

15 minutes of quake will help you adjust quickly
also tr_newbots which hasn't been mentioned yet

For warming up, I generally play on dm/mge server for like 20 minutes. Since you also play sniper, I'd probably recommend you playing pug/mix/lobby, because sniper isn't really great class for both mge and dm.

If you really feel like you are terrible at aiming, you can just spend some time on tr_walkway with bots moving in random patterns. (Or just on any offline practice map pretty much)

I play soldier in a goldrush pub until we get all 6.

I also rather enjoy having a sugary beverage too.
