One of the fastest growing recreational sports today is paintball. Nothing beats the thrill of creeping through the woods plotting war strategies to blast your opponents with little balls of paint and declaring your dominance by winning the paintball war.

For the beginning paintball player, here are some of the basics you’ll need so you can start enjoying this game: ~Shop for your preferred paintball gun.~Get a quality mask designed specifically for paintball.~Wear heavy-duty clothing. Camouflage is highly recommended. Sturdy boots and a head covering are a must. Make sure you have all the proper gear to cover every exposed area of skin. ~Buy paintballs and CO2 and make sure to get an extra paintball magazine. You wouldn’t want to run out of them in the middle of the game. ~Have a squeegee in your pocket and a handkerchief to wipe off your hits between games.~Double check all your gear prior to each game.
