Paint ball, a fun, active, and stress relieving sport. It is one of my favorite hobbies especially because it is a way for my friends and I to get together and hangout. I"m sure everyone has been upset with their friend or family and have wanted to get even with them. Paint ball is a great way to do so, legally. It is also an excellent form of exercise. .
Paint ball is some what like war except this way doesn't include the pain of real guns. Many paint ball games are modeled after real wars or battles. One popular game is "Capture the Flag". The number of players on a team varies from four or five players, to a many as 100 players on each side, depending on the size of the field. The object of the game is to capture the opposing teams flag while defending your own flag. From there you must successfully return to your own flag position to win. Players compete to eliminate opposing players by shooting with your paint ball gun. Another popular game is "Protect the Fort", which has one team hiding within an enclosed structure and their main objective is to defend as the other team tries to take the fort. One other game is called "Assassinate the President", where you would have one player as the unarmed president and he/she has two to five secret service members protecting. Then you can have as many assassins as you would like in the attempt to kill the president. Games usually have a time limit of 20 to 45 minutes. Around 10 to 15 games are played during one day. Between games, players check and clean their equipment, reload paint balls, or have a snack and rest up for the next game. Paint balls are similar to bath oil beads. The paint is non-toxic, non-caustic, water soluble, and biodegradable. It rinses out of clothing and off skin very easily.
I"m sure safety is a major factor for most people, but believe it or not paint ball is safer than you think. Medical and Insurance statistics show that paint ball is safer than bowling! Safety is highly stressed at most fields.
