Air Training should it be a prerequisite before you are allowed to self fill.

So what happens with under 18 year olds who play paintball, if you have to be 18 to complete the course, and you have to have completed the course to fill bottles?

That is a point that Bully will confirm with the insurance company's and he will let us know when he has a reply.
I would like to think anyone who is able to play the game would be able to acquire cover and as such should also be allowed to do the course.

You could possibly get the information that is handed out on the course but more than 60% of relevant instruction comes via the trainer, well it did in my case.

I did have an idea about filming the course and shoving it on You Tube. But after thinking about it perhaps it is not the best medium, face to face is the best way.

Russ

i would still be 40% better off though!!

Cheers, paid for the cover, just hoping I'll still be able to continue filling my bottle. If the age limit isn't 18, then I'll happily do the course.

As under 18s will not be allowed to fill - they could do the course but not receive a certificate/pass
This though has no bearing on the requirement to have insurance/liability cover

So every under 18 that plays will have to get an adult to fill their bottle for them?

As far as i was aware, that was supposed to be the case anyway (with Hpac) or it might have been 16? :s but i have had to fill up for my son on many occasions as they said he was too young (16 at the time) and for other kids too...

Sorry to say yes that is the case. Age limit was moved upto 18
Adults only can fill now

 

[crazy-lacey]

it makes sence. imo even though i am 14 and can fill a bottle i agreee. but still a silly idiot could put oil on there fill and then this could cause the adult to injure himself. everybody should have to do a safter course even if its only the adults who fill the bottles.

 

[Sabot]

So all of our team will have to get our bottles filled by my dad..well most

 

[Sabot]

I can see big q's at the fill stations i agree about the safty course though.
