So tell me when did you realize you were hooked and had become a paintballer?

Very worth while sig................do I sense a little sarcasm in that last comment mmmmmm

 

[defyitall]

everytime i went to get paint with my friend who played and owned a gun. i would spend a half hour figuring out if i wanted to buy my own gun or not.
then one morning i got up went to work and ordered a gun before i could think about it. quickest four hundred i ever spent.

well, there was that stipper...

my first time was with a young lady from Bicester......
oops wrong first time

....from the first time I played at Greenham Common (in the old missile base) and I realized I actualy enjoy the pain of getting shot!!!! (hence the reason why I now mug people - you get the player you were going for, but get lit up by the rest of the opposition as you walk off!!!)

I fear change, but love pain.......

When i was a lad......Mine was about 11 yrs ago, down at a site in Bradfield outside of Reading. With pumps & tubes hoppers.

I knew I was hooked when...

about 3 years ago playing a game with pumps and ended up behind the opposition with so much adrenaline buzzing my brain took out a couple of people and then got lit up.

That was the point of no return

Just a shame its taken me until now to get a marker, and the damn thing still hasnt turned up yet

My brother had played it for like three years or so, and I hated the shooting inside the house (no paint of course). It was like a geek thing to me, so I was never interested.....
Until summer'01. I went with my brother to check it out (don't know why), but I loved it from the first minute I was on the field!
And now I'll never stop...

I was hooked before I'd even played or seen a single game!!

I'd always wanted to play, but at the time I was at college and the number of paintball sites in Cambridgeshire seemed to be lacking.
I then went to Uni and found that there wasn't a society of paintball there, so I just put it on hold (when really I should have bitten the bullet/paintball and started my own...).
It was then whilst on work placement that I started to look into organising a group to head over to Campaign - for weeks I plagued everyone's Inboxes with paintballing emails.
Before I'd even paid the deposits I'd ordered a pair of JT gloves...

The next time I played, I bought myself a Flex mask just for the thermal lens...

I then went back to Uni and just stared at my goggles collecting dust until... I graduated and started my current job. I thought I'd wait a while before organising another group, so on my second day here I started to get a list of people together

We played the other week and now I think I need to make another purchase... a gun!

I was hooked when my dads friend brang his brand new angel over and him and my dad went to test each others markers in the basement both let me try them but i was hooked from my first trigger pull, i thought it was cool to shoot BBs but when i shoot that first paintball god did that change from then on i havent stoped playing.

I suppose thinking about it, I've had a BB gun since I was about 14 (I remember trying to get people outside the local Airsoft shop to go in and buy it for me ).

I've still got one, but they're kinda pointless...
