Paint Ball For Those Few Short Minutes Nothing Else Matters

Whether you playing in a tournament or as a hobby, paintballing is a very fun sport.  It is growing and becoming more popular every year.  There are professional paintball teams that play in a forest for an entire day.

Before you shoot your first paintball you need to take into consideration the type of clothing you wear to paintball.  A general rule of thumb is the more padding the less bruises.  If you are playing in a wooded area, fatigues are an obvious choice, but playing indoors, a couple of shirts and a pair of jeans work very well.

Did You Know?

The game was initially developed in May 1981 in New Hampshire by Hayes Noel, a Wall Street stock trader, and Charles Gaines, an outdoors man and writer. A debate arose between them about whether a city-dweller had the instinct to survive in the woods against a man who had spent his youth hunting, fishing, and building cabins. The two men chanced upon an advertisement for a paint gun in a farm catalog and were inspired to use it to settle their argument with 10 other men all in individual competition, eventually creating the sport of paintball.
