WHAT AGE IS PAINTBALL RECOMMENDED FOR?
The most common age to start playing paintball is 10 years and older. Getting hit can sting sometimes so players under 10 have a hard time dealing with the impact even with a little bit of padding.
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR OUT TO PLAY PAINTBALL?
Paintballs do give you a little sting when you get hit so it is recommended that players wear long sleeves with a light pair of gloves when coming to play. Our rental equipment does not include any padding so extra clothing is a good idea if you are worried about being hit. Bringing a change of clothes can also be helpful to not track paintball goo back into the car.
DOES THE PAINT WASH OUT OR ARE THE CLOTHES RUINED?
The paint from the paintballs does wash out and it is recommended to put dirty clothes in the wash right after getting home.
DOES PLAYING PAINTBALL HURT?
We won’t lie to you, paintball can sting. Think of a hard pinch for a few seconds when trying to determine how much it hurts for you. Generally, proper clothing takes most of the pain away and extra clothing helps pad the body. Paintballs have been known to leave a red mark on the body that will heal over the next couple days.
CAN PARENTS AND OTHERS WATCH THE KIDS PLAY?
Spectators are always welcome and they can watch without ever having to get suited up themselves.
DO YOU ALLOW OUTSIDE FOOD AND DRINK?
We do allow outside food or drink inside the building for you to enjoy with your group. You are also welcome to provide catering or contact us about arranging food for your team. Being a family-friendly facility, we are not allowed to have alcohol inside the facility at any time.
HOW LONG IS THE AVERAGE STAY FOR A PAINTBALL PARTY?
Generally, an average stay for paintball lasts 2 - 3 hours for everyone to experience a great time. This usually equates to each person having a bag of 500 paintballs to shoot through when playing paintball.
CAN I BRING MY OWN EQUIPMENT?
Your own equipment is welcome, however, we ask that all paintballs are purchased through us. We will chronograph all player owned guns before they step on the field to ensure that players are shooting at 255 fps or less.
