I have played.. but not many times. It hurts.
Nah, that isn't what keeps me from playing.... it's how out of shape I am.
But anyway... my son-in-law and oldest grandson do play.... somewhat regularly... and just won a tournament in Sacramento, (or near Sacramento). That qualified them for the World Championships to be held in Florida this coming November. They haven't decided yet if they'll attend.
Paintball is getting pretty darned popular, and sophisticated.. meaning that the uni's and gear are VERY high tech these days... and not at all 'cheap'. I believe to be up to date in gear you're looking at a few thousand dollars today.
Surely there is one of you involved?
