Don’t know anything about paint ball.
But a good friend of mine was driving his car and a kid fired at him. He lost his eye!
Wear eye protection at all times.
You’re going to get hurt. Wear a mask and never take it off. It’s good fun, though.
Ahhh… the first time I went paint balling in the mid-90s.
My very first shot at the “enemy”, I hit him right in the face (he was wearing goggles, but nothing else on his head).
To this day, I’ve never heard quite the same, beautifully musical tint the cry of pain vocalized as “FHhhhuuuuUUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!” as that perfect moment of victory…
…right before, I, myself, was shot on my ass.
Thanks so much for all the tips. I’ll let you guys know how it went. I got my gear ready to go, including cup and knee protection. Special thanks to MeanJoe and I will be following all your advice.
Just FYI, it was awesome. So much fun, and doing it again, possibly not even waiting till winter ends.
Good stuff.
I remember it being a real adrenaline rush. I’m glad you had fun.
