I just hope you can all understand what a bunch of kids in camo shooting each other looks like to the untrained eye. It's a very scary site to some parents who worry about their childs psycology. Wondering if you kids are a bunch of militant militia crazed combatants or just having fun, but then a kid comes home saying, "mom, I got thirteen kills today are you proud?" Mom says, "kills? WTF, kind of sick game are you kids playing?!!" I come home in a brightly colored jersy with a trophy and free paint and passes smiling and saying, "mom, we won!" And she says, "look at those welts, you moron, is it really worth a dumb little trophy?"
The point really is non existant in this reply, I just felt telling you people that all the nimrods that think paintball is bad are just a bunch of wusses that are too chicken to go out and try it once. Paintballs hitting them hurts too bad so they cower at home falling asleep watching football, another game they were too scared to try. Nobody can take away paintball, just keep playing and it will only grow stronger and more popular over the next few years. As for woods and speedball or tournaments. I love it as long as I get to play.
