I was just wondering how you people out there got into paintball?? Was it through a friend? or did you see an ad for it?? What was your first balling experience like?? Feel free to post anything that happened (Well not exactly everything if u know what I mean;) )

(thanx Robin, u slag) but by the end of the day i was muggin' twisty the anti mug.

Six years ago, went with a load of mates, bought 400 paintballs and only used 50! Didn't shoot anyone all day. Enjoyed it though - played six weeks later, then bought my own goggles, then started marshalling.... all happened at Campaign which has been my home ever since! :)

Went 4 years ago with some friends who also hadnt been before. When we got there turned out some of our other friends were already there who had played numerous times before, so we played with them. We all got masacred by them and i seem to remember getting shot on the top of the head a good number of times
