Just thinking about using reballs in the local sports centre hall just thinking of what i could use for bunkers in there, cant really afford an air field just wondering what people that train with them do.
Cheers Tom

We have a 10 piece sup air field and used gym mats to help bulk it out

Its best to use it just for specific drills, combos & 1v1 or 2v2 games unless you have a proper field (and more than 4000 reballs).
Cardboard boxes, filled with crumpled newspaper?
Without actual bunkers there's very little you can use. The reason being your not actually training your body in the correct movements without bunkers.

We use bunkers, You won't need a full field, just a couple of cokes and bricks will get you up and running. If it's small run at 180fps and adjust your dwell to conserve air. That way a couple of dive tanks will last a long while.
Please PM me how this goes on. Wev'e recieved feeback that our local centre won't be able to facilitate us so are now looking into Scout groups. I would just like to know the approach you have taken.
Cheers.
We run at 180fps without netting. The walls are textured blocks and the reballs have not been damaged in eight months. On average they are wash about eight times per session.The "genuine" reballs are excellent and very durable.
If you want to use a local sports hall, you would be advised to create a risk assesment first. Local authorities are very keen on paperwork
Risk Assessment
I've never seen a risk assessment for pball, but do them all the time for work, and not namby pamby ones like sitting at your computer desk, but stuff like installation and testing of 11,000 volt switchgear on construction sites and such forth, in line with HSE guidelines.
I'm intrigued regarding a pball risk assessment for this kind of activity. If anyone has one I would really like to see it, and if not too forward I would offer any suggestions for improvement, just to help the greater good of paintball like.

As a site owner who does risk assesments I can see the use of rec balls as an issue. I can see the benifits in a sports hall for pratice for sharp shooting etc.I can imagine there being a big issue if you started firing them at each other thought. I for one would not allow anyone on site to use rec balls if they were shooting at each other. This goes even if the guns were running at 180 fps if they were using as a way of saving money on sharp shooting and speeding up trigger fingers etc then no problem at all.
