Safety & Useful Information

Answer to the First Question
Yes, Paintballs are bio-degradable but a bit messy, they do wash out of almost everything. 

If you are RENTING Equipment

We suggest hiking boots or tennis shoes, NO open toed footwear is allowed. If you have a medical condition such as Asthma, Epilepsy, allergic to Bee stings, etc. We recommend that you bring along the necessary kits etc.

If your goggles or marker get messy from paint, we will clean them for you. It is a good thing to bring along a towel or cloth to clean up with after the session ( a change of clothes is good to for the ride home.

Most players shoot about 400 rounds in 4 hours, with our rental gear we give 100 rounds of paint to start you off, so you might want to bring along some extra funds for more paint.

We start the safety meeting promptly at 10:00am if your late we will slot you in as soon as we can, Most games are 15 minutes long, there is a 7 minute break between games (if your not ready you can play the next game), there is a 12 min. break half way through the session.

Outdoor facilities are provided for.

We have water and Pop available for purchase or you can bring your own if you do bring your own we ask that you please pick up after yourself and place all trash in the cans that are provided.

If you have your own gear:

We suggest that you bring along a cloth or rag to wipe your equipment off and for cleaning your goggles. We provide your first CO2 fill free. 

What to Expect

Most people that have not played Paintball before have no idea what to expect. The most common questions is "does it hurt when you get hit?" If you get hit by a paintball fired from close range (20 feet or less) it does sting a bit that is why we have the surrender rule of 20 feet. Most people tell you that after the first time you've been hit, it no longer is an issue

Once you're on the field, watch what the "regulars" are doing, where they are going, and how they play the game. More often than not, our regular players will be more than friendly and are willing to help new players.  Start out slow and don't expect too much in the first game or two. Once you are comfortable (and have been shot a few times) the game will probably come naturally

Playing Tips

Don't stand in the open for too long.

Don't stay in one place too long.

It is wise to re-load your paintballs or just catch your breath from behind a tree or bunker. You'll be shocked at how many times you can be eliminated from a long way off. NEVER EVER TAKE OFF YOUR GOGGLES AND MASK!

Safety

Never remove your goggles on the field. Newer players tend to want to remove their goggles as soon as they're eliminated from the game or just to clear the goggles. All of our goggles have thermal lens, some fogging does occur with some players and we will not be able to prevent it. Pulling the goggles away from the face will not clear of "fix" the any fogging. If it gets to bad call yourself out and come up to the tent (your goggles remain on until you clear the net) and we will do our best to take care of you.

When you are eliminated--or if you are eliminated(!)--call "HIT" as loud as possible, raise your hand and PUT YOUR BARREL PLUG or BAG INTO THE END OF YOUR MARKER. Walk off the field. Do not remove your goggles until you have exited the black safety net en route to the tent.

Don't argue with the referees. If a referee calls you out, simply leave the playing field. The refs are there to help you have fun and to keep it safe. Listen to them at all times. Referees are human and sometime a mistake is made, remember it is only a game and another starts in 15 minutes.

Never play with anyone that is not wearing the proper goggles

Always use a barrel  blocking device when you are not playing and have your markers' safety on.
