Contact Powerball regarding markers & paint as they will be able to do you a fantastic deal - talk to Janice on 01252-408 455. Quite a few of the sites across the UK are using markers they manufacturer.

Good Luck!!!

Opening a paintball field is all about... Location, Location, Location.

Oh, and incase I forgot, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location, Location.

If there is a site 10 minutes closer to the city than yours, they will take 95% of your business. If there is a nightclub, cinema, shopping mall, or other such site closer to the city than yours, they will take 50% of your business.

Oh and whatever profit you calculated you will make, divide it by 30, thats about what you will make.

But get the PERFECT location, and you will do great.

Good luck in your quest

i would assume you are gonna open up in the rhondda area
pick a good location and make it a good site as you have task force just down the road from you and they have been established for many years and do a good turn over every weekend if you can get a location between newport and cardiff you will do well and make sure it has easy access from the m4 or any A road

good luck
