Tips for getting started in Paintball

[alexd]

Just from my experience, as I'm made out of sugar paper; if you find yourself with dicky knees or joints, some sort of support for them like wraps or pads would be a must! Like he said for the mask, don't go stingey. Look after yourself! You don't want to be that fool who has to explain to people you need surgery or have a limp because of paintball!

Wise words here! Too often see funds spent on a marker, but little consideration is given to having adequate protection!

Indeed! I'm personally going to start carrying at least 1 spare lens as well. Better to be safe than sorry

You need to make 20 posts on the forum, that are reasonably constructive without just spamming the forum.
Get 20 posts, wait a little while and you have access.

You've got some history from being on the forum for a while, so just run around the forum and put up some decent posts.

I'm new here but been playing woodsball and various walk ons for about 9 years and I will say get a marker that you are comfortable to maintain well yourself.
If you feel bummed about stripping your kit and lubing/adjusting. It can get real old real quick.
