Preparation is Key in Paintball
My friends and I go paintballing virtually every weekend, and although we don’t compete in competitions, our matches definitely aren’t for the faint of heart. It’s not uncommon for us to have to call off the game early when a scuffle breaks out over a disputed kill. And when you know the battles are going to be heated, you have to come to the paintball field prepared.
Last weekend I didn’t heed my own advice and boy did I pay for it. After going through my entire clip of paintballs, I found myself stranded behind enemy lines. I reached into my holsters for my reserve paintball pistols only to find that I had left them back at my Mom’s house. I made a mad dash back to my base, but it was too late-the enemy spotted me fleeing and let loose a hail of fire, pelting my back and spelling disaster for my squad.
Large-Scale Paintball War Games
Last weekend some friends and I decided to get together for an immense paintball campaign. We typically get about 10-12 guys, but we unexpectedly had more than 30 people show up. Since we play in eight-acres of wilderness behind my buddy’s ranch, this number of people wasn’t a hindrance.
In fact, it gave us an opportunity to employ some of the heavy paintball artillery that usually stays in storage. Each side had several paintball machine guns, as well as grenade launchers and landmines. We ended up playing for over eight hours, and I think we will be getting together for more epic battles later this summer.
