joina paint ball team in manchester
- Thread starter connor nicholson
- Start date
Mask first, something comfortable and that fits. It's the most important bit of kit.
Then I'd worry about the rest. It doesn't matter what Jersey you get, some have more padding than others though and if you do join a team you'll be looking at £75ish to get one printed with a number and your name on.
Ive just started and live In greater manchester and its cost me a fortune to get started, id say ive spent at least 600 quid so its not a cheap sport but i bought everything new you might want to ask your parents if they can afford it really unless cash isnt an issue, theres a walkon at a place in leyland called trax paintball its only 30.mins down m6 and I live in leigh, have a look on there website for details I think there held every 3rd saturday of the month went to the last one on saturday was a top day out and they was all decent lads
Hi Connor

teams will ask you
1 can you afford to play a full season ............ most teams play cops there is other games around your area but for easiness i will say CPPS

2 do you have transport to attend games
3 do you have your own gear
( 1) MASK Most important part of your gear as you won't be able to play if you can not see) paint at tournament travels at 300 feet per sec at 10.5 balls a sec dame quick) £60-£80
(2) Marker i would say save some money and get a etek ego gio i found great markers easy to use and clean) £150-£300
(3 )air Bottle 3000psi will do most site use air so go with that) £80
(4) Hopper to put your paint in ) £60- £120

i hope this has helped you as you are entering into the pint balling family you will make friends for life with in are sports we love but its not cheep I hope this has NOT put you off its just to help you think on what may be expected
as i for one have been playing for the past 25 years and have loved every minuet of it you are coming into the sport at the right time great opportunities out there for people who won't to learn and play
