Some of the guys at work are getting restless with this bad weather and talking about doing something fun to get out of the house and work off some steam. This weekend won’t work – everyone has big plans for Super Bowl parties and the sales manager is even going to the game in Tampa, the lucky dog.
When I want to get outside, hunting, fishing and golf are always options but they are so slow paced I don’t really feel like I’ve gotten any exercise. We want to do something active, so I’m pitching the idea of a paintball tournament. We can make up two teams from the operations side of the company against the sales side of the company and meet up on the paintball field to have some fun.
If you like paintball you probably have bought some of your own gear, although the paintball fields have gear for you on site to use for the day. But when I got started a few years ago, I wanted my own gun and found everything I needed on the internet, especially on the ultimatepaintball.com site.
There are complete kits and all kinds of accessories, like masks, gun stocks, scopes, gear bags, etc. These are for the serious paintballer and for the beginner, too. They have all the top selling brands of paintball guns, including:
- Tippmann
- Smart Parts ION
- Spyder (my favorite – the MR2)
- Empire
- BT Paintball
