Hey there People, I'm pretty new to the sport, but ive been using air pistols/ Rifles for a while so im a pretty good shot, even if i do say so myself, more than anything else looking for some advice on which gear I'm best starting off with, I've been paint balling 6 times and I've fallen in love with it, hope you Guys can help me out, I want Slowly build up my gear or just have a mass spend but to start I'm looking to spend around £300-£400 on all my gear over a period of about 2 months, the markers they have at the paint ball place ive been to are topmann classics, i think quite good (i think as ive nothing to compare them to)

at the minute i have no gear, i need everything from the soles of my shoes to the top of ma head (overalls marker, grill Etc The essentials,not forgetting some paint pods and belt. )

Anyone on Here from round my area??? as im looking to join up with a local group for regular skrimish Etc..

Welcome

I can tell you a good place to start off, get yourself a good set of goggles with a thermal lens you'v enjoy the game much more once you start been able to see through your goggles without them steaming up.
I personally wear footy boots to play because of the studs/blades that grab into the dirt.

I'm sure you will get into this more as you go along, the best thing to do is jump into the deep end

Thanks for the encouraging words Shimmershot ill take a look, can you recommend any particular goggle that offers a good FOV and is scratch resistant etc?

welcome mate!

i love my empire e-vents but i think with goggles its a personal thing. see which style you like best, get on to a wallkon day and ask to try some peoples out and see which you find fits you well.

as for the other equipment are you looking to do mainly woodsball or tourny play (sup air)?

well ive only done woodsball so i couldn't tell you if i prefer either. but i mean im up for anything so equip wise id prolly want to have something in the in betweeney (if thats a word) so i can do both...
