Q. I've never played before.
What do I do?
A. First, you do not need a certain number of people to play. If you
come by yourself, you'll be teamed up with everyone else. Second, make
a reservation. Allow 30 to 45 minutes before the session to register.
Bring a valid driver's license and complete a release of liability form.
Q. How much paint will I need?
A. We suggest 500 to 700 paintballs per person for a full four-hour
session. This amount may vary, depending on how many times you pull
the trigger and how quickly you are eliminated. Groups should consider
purchasing paint by the case. It is less expensive if you buy in larger
quantities.
Q. What do I do with paintballs during play?
A. We are not responsible for lost, missing, stolen, damaged, or dumped
paint. We supply each player with a pack and pods to store paint when
you’re on the field.
Q. Can I purchase paint somewhere else?
A. No! Field paint only. This means you can only use paint approved
and purchased at our field. This is so we can control the type of paint
used in our rental markers and on our field.
Q. What should we wear?
A. We recommend long-sleeve shirts
and long pants in dark colours-something old, because you will get dirty.
Most of our customers wear camouflage, but it is not necessary. Yes!
The paint does wash out. However, some fabrics wash out better than
others.
Q. Does it hurt to be hit by a paintball?
A. Paintball can bruise skin. Safety is our number one concern. All
players are required to wear a full safety mask, firmly attached to
their face at all times. We strictly enforce this safety rule. Any person
asked to leave the premises for any reason whatsoever will not receive
a refund. Please obey the safety rules and the referees.
Q. What is a paintball made of?
A. A paintball is a thin-skinned gelatine capsule with a coloured "paint"
inside. Paintballs are similar to a large vitamin capsule or bath bead
and are non-toxic, biodegradable, water soluble, and rinse out of clothing
or off skin with just water.
Q. Are paintballs bad for the environment?
A. Not at all. Since paintballs are non-toxic, biodegradable and water
soluble, they actually completely dissolve in just a few weeks in the
outdoors
Q. How old do you have to be to play paintball?
A. We require players to be at least 12 years of age. We require kids
under 18 to have a parent or guardian present.
Q. Is paintball safe?
A. Yes if you follow the established safety guidelines. For safety,
players must wear Paintball approved goggles/mask and follow strict
guidelines at all times while playing. Paintball is rated safer than
golf, bowling, baseball, and just about every other sport.
Q. Do I have to buy a paintball marker to play?
A. No. We have rental markers, but call ahead and reserve your paint
marker in case they have a big crowd at the field.
Q. Are their really professional paintball players?
A. Yes. There is a professional paintball league and some players actually
get paid to play.
