Paintball of The Sherwood Forest

Paintball, the best sport of the '90's and the 2,000's. There is for sure at least two paintball fields near you. The sport that has guns that used to be used to mark trees is a top-rank awesome sport. The paintballs are made out of gelatin but it's a total simulation of the Army. Here are some of the costs possibly in you area.

Here are some of the costs of modern paintball: Rental of Everthing for a day: $30 to $40, Admission: $10 to $20, Paintballs: 4 to 10 cents, Gun to buy: $100 to about $1,500, Face mask: $30 to $50, Barrel Plug: $10 to $30.

Here are 10 super-duper paintball tips:

1. Safety first, never go on the field with face protection.

2. Always go with the rules of the paintball game.

3. Always try to stick with what your team is doing.

4. Don't underestimate the other teams guns! I learned that the hard way!

5. Try to wear camouflage or dark colors like black and forest green.

6. Don't shoot your own team just for the fun of it.

7. Use your paintballs sparingly, don't shoot 20 rounds at a tree, only shoot your paintballs if your dead sure you see someone.

8. Find the best field and paintball prices, paintballing can be expensive.

9. If you don't know many people who like paintball, try to get to a walk-on game.

10. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

Well, enough with these little nooks and crannies. I'll now tell you about my experience that I had on November 15th 1998. I really love paintball but it's really expensive if you don't own a gun or anything. I went with my friend Kevin. I rented a Tippman Pro-Lite and Kevin got another type of gun which I didn't see what type of gun it was. I got a picture of us but for some reason it wouldn't show up on this page. I was like a sniper in that game. Nobody from the other team even spotted me because I waited and waited and then fired when I was dead sure I was dead sure they were there. Kevin and I made a great team. There was this one guy on our team whom we nicknamed "Arnold" because he talked like Arnold Schwartznegger and he acted like him also. He was very helpful. He informed us of enemy positions and was great in leadership. I only got shot in the arm once but it hurt a lot because it didn't break. One thing I realized about paintballing was that you learn three great qualities, trust, leadership, and teamwork. If you are interested more about my story e-mail me at charlie.norko@excite.com!

Just recently now, I've been shopping for a gun of my own. I have enough money to get a satisfactory semi-auto gun. I've relly had my eye on the super Tippmann Pro-Lite,

I've had experience with it and I think it's a very nifty semi-auto. Hardly breaks down, excelleant field-maintenance, and not super heavy(it's sort of heavy with a 12 oz. Co2 tank). The price is not as high as shown here($295.00)when you get a good deal on it. I saw one package with Tippmann Pro-Lite, 9 oz. Co2 tank, Viewloader, Repair Kit, and Shoulder Strap for just $244!(It's on the internet so it includes $10 shipping & handling cost, it's at www.paintballcommand.com) I look forward to getting a gun before Pev's Paintball's next February 28th game!

Here are some pics that were from my Nov. 15th game. They are very cool.
