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.
