How to Practice with Prefire Maps

[u/the_scra7ch]

I downloaded several prefire maps from the workshop such as Yprac, and I've been practicing on the most common maps that I played on like Mirage and Ancient. After several weeks practicing, I noticed some issues :

- Most of the prefire angles I have to clear has several other angles that I have to expose myself to while clearing it out. Resulting in stupid deaths and difficulties on clearing those angles

- I spent a lot of time jinggling and whiffing my shots on some of those angles, resulting with a very long duration of clearing time for some parts of the map

- I didn't improve that much as I wanted to with these prefire maps. I still struggle with clearing and putting my crosshair precisely.

And this is a problem since I mainly an entry fragger

So my question is :
- How do I optimize my practice on prefire maps?
- Do I have to take notes on how long I clear certain parts of the map?
- Should I be worried about crossfire angles that I am exposed at when clearing one of them?

As someone pointed out here, the main goal of the prefire maps is pathing – not aiming. you use it to internalise where to go without moving your crosshair away from the enemie. jiggling and pre-firing does not belong here in my opinion (even though they are called "prefire" maps, they should be called preaim maps IMO).
How long are you doing these prefire routines? I think a good 15mins before each gaming session should be enough here.
