The heat is starting to rear its ugly head. Here in New York it feels like we went right from winter to summer. There is a very mild breeze, but the humidity is unbearable. I’m at a point where I can still get away with jeans and a t-shirt, but I know by next week, [...]

So you’ve been looking long and hard at upgrading to a new marker. You’ve been hearing some of your best buds tell you that a longer barrel is the way to go, that it will definitely improve your accuracy. This is another long standing myth that just isn’t true. The physics of regular firearms are [...]

Posted: 31st May 2011 by ChristineM in Paintball, Paintball TipsTags: paintball air tanks
There are a lot of myths when it comes to paintball. You hear people talk about all sorts of things when it comes to equipment, strategies, markers, paintball air tanks, and everything else under the sun related to the game. But one of the biggest myths that comes out of the sport is that better equipment [...]
Paintball is predominately a man’s game, but I have my niche of female friends who love to play. Women players may be far and few between, but when we play, we play for blood. I must say the most annoying aspect of playing paintball with guys is that they feel they must play differently with [...]

I love paintballing because I get to shoot things. My friends call me aggressive sometimes, and I’ll admit I can be somewhat of a hothead. But man when I’m out on the paintball field I finally get to take out all of my aggression. For some people it’s lifting weights, for me it’s running paintball [...]
Pipsqueaks Become Heroes

My friend Terrence was always, with apologies and for lack of a better term, kind of a pipsqueak. We grew up together and let’s be honest I was not really very tall myself. In fact I was kind of short. But Terrence he took the cake or he didn’t take the cake as he couldn’t [...]
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to combine paintball with another sport? I guess some people have because at yesterday’s adiPower Predator launch (a fancy new soccer cleat), a few European footballers decided to marry these two sports. Now when I say football I’m really referring to what we Americans like to [...]

If you are just starting out in paintball, you are probably wondering which is the better option when it comes to equipment. You might not be sure whether you want to buy your marker and air tank or just rent from the field you frequent, or another supplier. In the end, it’s going to come [...]
Reenacting That Night In Abbottabad

The week after our brave Navy SEALS took out Osama Bin Laden in his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan we hit the paintball field and cranked up our paintball valves. We were feeling particularly gung-ho with our pro-America anti-terrorist moral incredibly high. After a week of reading about the supreme awesomeness of our Navy SEALS for a [...]
Starting a Paintball Team

Paintball is awesome. We all know this. And maybe you head out to the paintball field with a few friend here and there, or even join in on a random meet up with new people every once in a while. But you want your own paintball team. One with it’s own cool name, that will [...]
