Paintball - yes its a sport

Hi all,

Well I thought I would seed this thread with a post.

I play competition paintball on the weekends. Its really enjoyable and great for fitness.

The team I play for is here:

We are a fairly new team formed about 5 months ago.

We were lucky enough to attend an Ollie Lang clinic recently. Ollie is arguably the best paintballer on the scence at the moment.

More pics of the clinic can be seen on paintballer.ie

Our team came 3rd in a local competition recently and we plan to start playing in the UK Masters tournament next year.

Just thought I would share

Awesome =) I've only played a few times and it was quite fun. Do you play only the tournament style courses or do you reenact scenarios with a more realistic/natural setting?

I used to do the mil sim stuff but now I just play tournie style or "Supair" paintball.

I occasionally work Saturdays at a paintball site near me and marshall the games for the occasional players.

At the site we have a black hawk down field that has a mock up hotel, tank, helicopter and landing craft. We also have two woods fields and some tyre fields etc.

All in all I play paintball whenever I can. If a bunch of mates were going to play mil sim - yeah I would play it!!

Not the cheapest of sports to get into but soooooooooo much fun!!

Ive only been paintballing once and it was v good. I was lucky enough to get a good gun after 3 rounds and after that i didnt get shot out until the end (legal shots anyway lol). However, i am playing again this saturday and in my mind i will be John...... John Rambo ... the early years heh.
hope everyone has been well and have a good week.
