Buftex Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 simple enough, anyone in here play paintball? I played once, about two years ago, on a trip back to Buffalo. My brother in-law, believe it or not, played in a "pro-league" years ago...they used to show their tournaments on ESPN2...anyways, I had a blast, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone, longing to get their competitive juices flowing... I sucked (too big and slow, just like when I played football in Jr high), but it was real fun. The only downer was, I shot, from a long distance, my young nephew (great kid, but not super rugged) in the gut. He bawled his eyes out for a few minutes, and didn't want to play any more. After about 20 minutes though, he was back into it, trying his hardest to target me the rest of the day. The kid had a huge welt on his belly...
dib Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 My son plays woods ball. Whole 9 yards of gear, even a Ghilli (?) suit.

bills_fan Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I enjoy playing it a couple times a year. Lots of fun and there are some decent places to play in the tri-state area.
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Used to play every week a few years ago and we are just getting back into it. Cleaned up the marker and filled the tanks a couple days ago!

Beerball Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 simple enough, anyone in here play paintball? I went several times with my son, but I'm too fuggin old now. Had fun, but some of those fuggers had some serious hardware. (& me with a rented clunker)
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 are you in wny? where are places to play now? I live near Rochester. We used to play at the Jello Factory in Lima. This spring and summer we are going to try to set up a decent course on friends' land.

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 how is jello? isnt that like an old indoor warehouse or something? It is a big warehouse with several rooms. It is an interesting setup, but I don't have much to compare it to since I have not played in other indoor locations. They had one room set up as a speed ball game and the rest of the rooms as one big regular game. I'm not even sure if it is still open to be honest with you. I always had fun playing there.
dib Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Do you guys know about things like paint grenades and claymores?
KD in CA Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I did it once about two years ago; 20 or so of us from work played in the woods. We had a blast.
