Paintball Fun - from basic play to extreme paintball

Have you ever had a paintball war? I am talking about gathering up a few friends (older brothers make wonderful targets- I mean, participants as well) and going out into the woods or to a paintball field and having a battle. It's a great sport, and from the cheap paint ball gun I first got when I started out the sky (or at least your budget) is the limit.

There are a few things to think about, however, and top of that list is safety. If you want to get into a great sport, or expand on your arsenal so that you can whop your older brothers and nephews at the next war, then you should check out the selection of paintball products at Ultimate Paintball.

Just getting started? Check out their package sets. Hurry, because right now they have a set marked down to under $100 that gives you a Black Icon X Marker featuring semi-automatic operation, ambidextrous cocking, and a full one year warranty from 32 Degrees. Also in the kit is everything you need for your first day on the range, including a GXG Stealth Mask with visor and anti fog lens - never play paintball without a mask.

Ultimate Paintball has a lot of other package sets to choose from, so do some browsing and maybe get a buddy that knows more about paintball to help you pick out some good paintball gear that will give you years of fun.

Be sure that you check out the apparel too, because you want to have the right gear for the game. Back when we first started playing I got a bruise from a paintball gun when I was wearing an Army winter field parka! And one of my brothers got a bruise though a pair of Carhart coveralls! Play safe and get good gear, especially face and neck protection.

For those of you that are just sitting back shaking your heads because you learned this the hard way, how about checking out the fancy paintball guns and paintball accessories they have over at Ultimate Paintball? Maybe look at the Ion, Spyder, Proto Rail and tippmann a5 upgrades or check out the tactical vests to help you carry your gear out in the field.

Don't forget to get some cleaner and oil. You paid good money for that paintball gun, keep her working like new. Nothing is worse than to be laying in ambush as the paintball sniper for your team and having your paintball gun jam just as your little sister or aunt is stalking up on you with a smirk on her face.
