Well, there are lots.
These work great if you have paint for your team and a field to yourself.

One on ones:
Just put two guys in and tell them to shoot each other. Helps practice the one on ones but isn't great.
Of one guy, needing get to a certain point on the field or set him self up against another opponent who will shoot every now and then. You can increase this by macking is a 1 on 2, 1 on 3 to intesify real game situations.

Snap Shooting:
Have targets around the field, the player has to shoot one, then he can move up again, shoot another...doing snap shots of course. You can make this better by having another player going the other way so it's a race.
Also, have the player do this in his off hand so he gets good at both arms. You can throw in opposition if you want, but don't ever make them too heavy.

Diving, Sliding, Mooing:
Don't ask about the mooing.
Practice diving and sliding into bunkers is really really needed. Watch individual players in your team slide into, give them pointers. Just make sure they do it tighter and more effectively.

Limited Shot:
Have a 2 on 2. But only put 10 balls in each hopper. Puts and emphasis on positions.

There are lots of others. Just think them up, expirement with them. Remmember it's good to change lots of these exercises so the players are using their off-hands.

when you are training at snap shooting get someone to stand behind the targets and shoot 1 or 2 balls at you when they see you pop out this will keep you honest and make you play tighter:D

Have 2 backs set up in good fixed positions then have 3 front/mid players try to get to a set destination in front of them, the catch is only 1 of the front/mid players will have a marker. This is used to improve communication.

practice run throughs when youre ready. Put down a coke can or similar item behind a barricade and run past at as close to full speed as possible and shoot it. Dont blaze away fire one or two shots, do this left and right handed.

I saw on a couple of moves at serpy classic, one of the guys ran past and layed a string of paint as he came around a dorito he thought someone was hiding behind..

I thought " Cool move " but then realised he made so much noise they would have heard him a mile off.. but thought about if there had been someone behind there, would they have had a chance ? and would it have been an overshoot ?

Train running and shooting while you place an empty paintbox on the field and start to run from left to right, shooting, from right to left, shooting at it, and running towards it, shooting.

Train 1 on 2 or 2 on 3 situations with your backplayers, placing them in the cover obstacles and let 3 guys attack them.

And so on, and so on, there are many possibilities.

If you're bored and want something you can do by yourself... talk to lil bitch
or if you wanna train yourself up, snap shoot a star post. work all angles of your "bunker", dont get into a rythm and if possible, have someone waiting to snap you back.

Another one is to get the same unfortunate star post, and have someone with a whistle. Run infront of the post, a couple of meters away, back and forwards doing quick sprints (like you would in a game.... maybe not back and forwards) when the whilstle is blown, drop to one knee and shoot the star post. Get feed back on how tight you were when you dropped to the ground (nothing like getting shot on the foot) and how many shots it took you to hit the post.
