Since the pellets travel at 300 feet per second, you quickly get motivated to avoid being hit. Paintball can be played on designated paintball fields or on private property. The fields can be a bit expensive, so many people prefer the private property option. This is especially true for those who like to play paintball in heavily wooded areas. Since my first taste of the game, I am an avid player.
People usually assume that paintball is a very expensive sport.
It does cost money, but it doesn't have to cost a fortune. These are the only items truly necessary to play. Having a place to get the CO2 tanks re-filled is a necessity. For those of us truly addicted, we DO spend a lot of money on the sport. I prefer to wear a JT Spectra Thermal mask in black with sun visor attached.
