The only thing that I really remember about my one time experience with paint balling, back in the 80’s, was that it did sting a bit when you got “hit” with a blast. I was younger then, but it was great fun and I know that I walked a bit funny after the fun was over on the next day!
I’m surprised at how much there is to offer now a days in the paintball industry, but a lot of things have changed in past 30 years, I suppose. There a store right down the street from use that sells paintball accessories and military/police items as well. I have never been in there before, but Hubby and his friend walked down there one year way back and looked around a bit, I remember them telling me about all of the merchandise that was for sale in there. The parking lot is always full, so they must be doing something right.
If you are into paintballing you might want to check out pntball.com and see all of the things that they have now for paintballing fun. Hubby was looking over my shoulder the day that I ran across their web-site while I was surfing the net, and the next thing I know, he is sitting in the chair and had taken over the PC so that he could look at the products better. You can order piece by piece or they have whole kits geared to get you started at. Their stock has a full line of cheap paintball guns, paintball markers, paintball gear, barrels, hoppers, harnesses, tubes, and paintball masks, by many different brands.
Hubby seemed particularly interested in the one Tippmann 98 custom Paintball ACT Marker Sniper gun package. It regularly sells for $429 and is marked down to $299, so Hubby was drooling at the mouth. I’ll have to keep that one in mind, maybe for Father’s Day, wouldn’t that be cool.
