Tips for getting started in Paintball

[Rat]

Gin, Just asking around for you, If you take your mask/loader and Air tank to any of their walk ons etc, and post on here before going I'm sure several members will let you spray a hopper or so through their marker.

oh and Thank you for your service

Nec Aspera Terrent

I'm Down in Worcester! working on getting a game or two in this year, been a while and dialysis treatment + wheelchair complicate the logistics a bit.

Red hair + paintballs, Red and spotty hair?

I'm happy with that I'm glad you can still do paint balling in a wheelchair I bet it's a beast on your arms wouldn't need to gym so what marker do you use?

 

[Rat]

I've not played in a while so must aquire a new marker, started out with the Original Eclipse Etek, then had a mix of things from the Luxe to the Dangerous Power G3 I seem to prefer small and low profile style guns, and light too!

Not played in the wheelchair yet, so this year will be a first

 

[GIN93R]

So what do you play as in game type?

 

[Rat]

Used to be primarily Tournament, though I started playing scenario at my 12th Birthday lol
so played bit of both, wouldn't mind attending one of the big scenario games but again logistics.

 

[GIN93R]

I love that you want to still play a lot of people would have given up I want to try both as .
