Yes, you may come out and join existing groups that are looking for 'joiners/walk-ons'.

For more detailed info see Paintball & Airsoft Events. 

 

How many paintballs do I need?

There is no specific answer to this question, it depends on your playing style and how long you want to play for. Children will easily use whatever you are willing to buy them so it is best to determine your budget and then anything above and beyond that they are responsible for on their own. The more you get at the start the cheaper they are if you want to get more later on. There is no limit to how many you can buy and you can save leftovers for your next visit. (we do not buy back unused paintballs)

 

Do Paintballs Hurt?

There can be a “bee sting” effect when being hit by a paintball. This can vary depending on where you are hi,  from how far away it came, as well as your threshold for pain.  all necessary safety gear is supplied along with gun training and a safety rules briefing. nervous? check out our low impact option the "sting" is considerably less.
 

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, debit, Mastercard, Visa and American Express.
