New to the sport - North East Paintball

[Tom195]

Alrite, im thinking about getting into paintball and just wanted some advice about which marker to get and find out about any paintball sites in the north east of england.

I'm 14, i've played paintball 3 or 4 times before so i know a little about the sport and im thinking about getting the following guns:
Either an
-Invert Mini
-or a Proto Slg 2009/2010

if anyone can tell me which is best for the price ect i'd be greatful

Also if you know of any sites in the north east which do walk ons ect and maybe any teams for in the future aswell i could join once i get better

Thanks, Tom.

Welcome mate. Both guns are decent guns to get you off the ground mate. Check out the second hand section for some real bargains as youll want a air bottle, hopper, mask and all the other gubbins too.

As for sites...

BZ do woodland and supair at their sites speak to BZNeil on here.
Scotch corner paintball village
Top Gun paintball-Sunderland way I believe
Universal paintball-up near Belsay (past Newcastle airport way)

My teamate has a mini, and I love it to bits, sometimes tempted to snap one up myself.

Cheers mate, thanks for the information . I just checked the Univeral paintball website, do you know if thats up to date or not?
also how ofton does each place host walk-ons?

Thanks

No its not up to date mate, really good site and the marshalls are great. Best bet is to turn up for a day and have a go mate. Most sites hold walkons once a month mate normally first or last sunday.

Topgun is based in blaydon(ish) on the way out to rolands gill.
they should let you out with the punters with your own kit if you let them know in advance.

Universal runs a regular walk-on and the only other site near you would be massive attack.

hope that helps.
