New to Paintball, Need some advice!

[Alexxxx]

Hello!
Im trying to start paintballing as a hobby but the only time ive ever been is for birthday parties. I was wondering how do you start off playing before you buy your own gear. Ideally I would like to end up playing speedball because of the competitiveness of it. Im from Milton Keynes and I dont know what field to start off at. Any advice would be great!
Thanks

Hi
I have also recently started paintball, I do have my own gear now.
But going to walk ons is the best way I’m not sure of any in your area but my local site have a walk on once a month and the do rent out gear too.
Skirmish paint ball do them and I know they are all over the place would do a search in your area for walk ons and just turn book in turn up and have fun

Woodland Paintball is just as competitive

Definitely get yourself down to your local field for Walkons! That's mostly where I picked up everything. Also the multitude of Facebook groups out there that will also help you out massively!

Thank you this helped me a lot, how long did it take you from renting out gear to buying your own?

To be honest I went once and enjoyed myself that much having the freedom of a walk on and using a friends electronic marker I brought myself a full set up the very next week.
Used my own gear twice and am now waiting to use it again after lockdown
I’m booked onto 2 walk ons early April and can’t wait
