Look in the phone book or online, paintballing is pretty popular so there should be something close to you. My roommates and I used to go every week or so when I lived down in San Diego. Doesn't cost that much to rent gear, usually about $20-30. And if you ever run into me on the field, get the hell out of my way. I've taken out entire 5 person teams before. Wink

I usually buy an extra bag on top of the one they give you when you rent. Any left over I just use next time. Wink

hehehe

been a paintballer for bout 7 years now, and lovin every minute of it

i own 4 markers (guns to you) and all the equip i could ever want (except i have this tendancy to run out of ammo really quick with my bushmaster..... guess its the auto-fire capability Wink )

rules are different for each field. if they follow the same standard as they do over here in the US they are REQUIRED to read the rules to you before any match play starts.

personally i usually go through about 500-1000 rounds per day playing, and then i get another bag (500 rounds) to use when i get home i actually have a picture of me decked out in my paintball gear around here somewhere... i'll see if i can dig it up

it depends on your local laws, but in my area as long as you have the property owners permission and are wearing the proper safety equip its allowed Very Happy

hehe no you dont have to buy a piece of land, just find a local paintball field and pay the cover (usually 5 US dollars, atleast over here it is....) then use their target range or join in a game Very Happy

or you can just set up a target in your back yard and shoot at that, but make sure your fiiring away from your house and away from other peoples homes too
