Frequently Asked Questions

1. WHAT IS PAINTBALL?

It is a game of elimination. It is safe and fun and even scary. It is the most exciting game you will ever play. You will be equipped with an air-powered Paintball gun that fires a marble sized paintball just under 280 feet per second. That's over 200 miles per hour! And when it hits its target the Paintball splats leaving a bright mark, eliminating your opponent from the game. But they'll be back in the next game vowing to get you first. You will also be issued safety-goggles that protect your eyes, ears, and face. This mask must be worn at all times... this is the sport's most important and enforced rule. The paintballs are non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluble, and completely biodegradable. It rinses out of clothing and off the skin with regular soap and water. Your playground will consist of woods, ditches, open fields, and bunkers. Under the watchful eye of referees, you and your teammates will be trying to eliminate your opponents at the same time they will be trying to eliminate you. Winning requires teamwork to complete the game. Though there are dozens of types of games to play, elimination is the most common. Games can last up to 10 - 15 minutes, depending on the game and how fast players are eliminated. Between games, you will be sharing "war stories" with teammates and opponents alike recounting the "thrill of victory", or... the usually-funny "agony of defeat." Win or lose, everyone has a good time and there is always the next game waiting to be played. If you want action and adrenaline, there is nothing like being part of the great outdoors and experiencing the rush of Paintball!
