I'm a bit thick but what do you actually do at paintballing?

Is it like shooting people?

Sal!

Its not as good as shooting as they get up and walk away

Ive never done it but loads of people say its ace, point of the game is normally 2 teams and plan is to either kill them all off or take over their camp or base using deadly force LOL

Let's all the blokes play at soliders for the day and dive round thinking they are Action Man.

Probably depends on the venue, but there are usually a variety of missions like defend your base from the enemy and capture the flag (both teams have a flag and you win by getting the enemies flag back to yours).

Is usually top fun but expect a few bruises when you've finished.

The one slight problem with paintballing is that it is particularly physical and demands a reasonably fit person to enjoy it fully.

That cuts 90% of the scoobynet population out then as they are all IT types

I'll be OK though being as i'm super fit and althletic.

Harj,
That's very expensive for paintballing, considering there are only 300 paintballs included!
I played it on Saturday down near Cobham and it cost £12 which included 100 paintballs and then £6 per 100.

I'll have some of that please.

I looked at organising something a while back but there wasn't much interest back then.

Guys n Gals

A group of us went quad biking and off road buggying at Whilton Mills a year or so and came away feeling rather short changed.

I'm not saying don't go there - I am saying ring them and find out EXACTLY what you are, and what you are not, getting for your money.

Have fun.

Neal!

Lets get some more names and I think the date and price youve said are spot on mate

Is it a full day or half day? and are there any more details?

Paul H,
Lets be fair, you wouldn't exactly have to aim very hard would you. Just point roughly in Harj's direction and you'll be sure a direct hit...

Funny though, they were my own EXACT thoughts....
LOL

I've been watching this on Bravo for the last few weeks and it's really got me back into it again.
Best to do it at a proper site though, Whilton just bring the stuff in.
Put me down!!!
