Q: Does a paintball hurt?
A: It hurts just enough that you don't try to get hit
during a game.
Q: How old do I have
to be to play?
A: We allow kids 10 to 18 with
a parents permission. They may
be younger as long as there
is a parent or older sibling
to accompany them.
Q: Can I bring my own
marker?
A: Of course!
Q: I'm afriad men are
better.
A: In paintball, everyone is
equal.
Q: Skinny people can
run faster than me.
A: They can't outrun a paintball,
again we are all equal.
Q: What should I wear?
A: Long sleeves and long pants. The more skin you cover the better off
you are.
Q: Can I just show up
and play?
A: Yes, walk-ons are permitted.
Q: What is a Paintcheck?
A: You call paintcheck when you have been shot, but do
not know if the ball has broken leaving paint on you.
Example, on your back, backside, rear of legs etc... Do
not call yourself out unless you see a nickle size of
paint on you. If you are unsure, you call, "Paintcheck!"
and a referee will come to inspect you.
Q: What do I do when I call "Paintcheck!"
?
A: Immediately take cover. Players may continue to shoot
at you until a referee has arrived to inspect you. You
should pull back to a tree that offers cover. Meanwhile
if you are hit again while taking cover, those shots count.
Only shots taken at you while a referee is inspecting
you will be disallowed. All other shots count!
Q: Can I shoot a player under paintcheck?
A: Yes and no. Read carefully. You can shoot at a player
up until the time a referee meets that player. Once the
referee has arrived at that player to inspect them, you
may not continue to shoot at them. Once the referee announces,
"Players clean!" You man continue to shoot at
that player. If in doubt, don't shoot until the referee
leaves the player and you can see the player is NOT leaving
the field. You will know then for sure, that player is
still in the game.
Q: Can I bring my own paintballs?
A: No. For insurance purposes you must use our paintballs. Once you use
your complimentary 200 paintballs you may purchase more at a reasonable price.

A: $35.00. That includes mask, marker, 200 paintballs and constant air tank.
If you have your own marker, $15.00.
