New and need advice

[The Artful Dodger]

Evening all,I'm obviously very new to all of this and am finding it a minefield of information to take in.i had my first paintball session last week with a group of about 10 of us,great laugh and is it not exhausting lol. 4-5 of us would like to play a little more regular and all
Well into our 30s,mid life crisis maybe.anyway what I or we would like to know is what do you all think is a good starter option,as in gun/marker,mask is obvious (non foggy) I guess. I wouldn't say we have a budget as such but let's be sensible none of us need professional set ups so let's say a nice little starter set up around £200..
Many thanks guys

Hey artful just like you new to this my budget is the same if you look on bz paintball they do custom packages good prices. Where you from I'm in Glasgow.

i started with an A5 response package from BZ. it was a great way to start in the sport but i soon found myself upgrading a lot of the equipment...

if it was me
what i would do is keep asking questions about other peoples kit and try as many masks as you can and hold lots of different makrkers. once u get an idea what sort of kit u like then look around for starter kits or 2nd hand Markers...

i know how much of a mine field it can be so don't mind letting people have a go with some of my kit if they are at my local site

North East...been looking at a spyder fenix,.any opinions on it

I'd avoid a spyder fenix.... They are cheap and cheerful however in my opinion not that reliable, no better then a site marker.

Personally look at an invert mini you can get them cheap second hand and won't break the bank

Obviously I'm buying a package,which is gun hopper mask and a few other bits n bobs.
My first experience was half ruined with a **** poor gun and a mask that might aswell of been blacked out..ps paintballs hurt lol

My first marker was a bt omega didn't do me any wrong was cheap cheerful durable and a good starting point.
