WHAT IS PAINTBALL ?                                                        Paintball is an exciting game, basically two teams start at flag stations, their objective is to capture the other team's flag and return it to their starting flag station to win. During the game players attempt to eliminate opposing team members by marking them with a liquid-filled projectile which (usually) breaks on impact. This projectile or paintball (where the game gets its name, but contains no paint) Is fired from a CO2 powered air gun, which is set at a safe velocity, so as not to injure players. 

IS IT SAFE ?

Statistically paintball is one of the safest sports in the world. According to insurance and medical statistics, paintball is safer than bowling. The reason for this is that players MUST wear the proper protection and Must adjust their paint guns to proper speed limits . We have frequent speed checks on our field . Paintball guns can shoot in excess of 400 fps , but goggles are only rated at 300 fps. Our field speed limit is 270 fps.

DOES IT HURT WHEN YOU GET SHOT ?

Most of the time No , sometimes if you get shot at close range and/or on bare skin , it can sting and leave a bruise. People say it like being snapped with a wet towel or a bee sting. Due to the adrenaline rush, your more upset about being out of the current game than any pain. We had many players including girls , come off the field after being hit for the first time and say that it didn't hurt at all , or that they thought a bee sting hurts much worse.

CAN I GET PAINT OUT OF MY CLOTHES ?

Yes , paintballs are non-toxic and water soluble. If left on lighter clothing for a period of weeks, it will stain.
