My first attempt at paintball shots

**bdpAKAknox** · 08-07-2006 12:13 PM

I've been playing paitball for about 5 years now, but ive yet to have the balls to take my camera out onto the field. Finally worked up the courage to take it out, with the help of a home made camera bag and a large towel.
If you dont play paintball, just try to understand.

Thank you,
do you not like paintball, or do you just not play?

I have played a few times before. I just didn't enjoy it that much. I've got nothing against it or anything like that... it's just not my thing.

Nice pics!

Looks strange to see paintball on asphalt... The few times I played it was guys in camo in the woods.

Nice shots.

I played once a few years ago on an indoor urban type setup (ie stobe lights and cars). I was rounding a corner and stuck my hand out in the open and got shot point blank in the fingers (no gloves) and I started bleeding like a mofo. That was the first and last time I ever played.

Yes paintballs do hurt and can leave bad welts when you get shot close.
You get over it after awhile though.

Nice shots. It makes me wish the NPPL Super 7 was in Denver again.

The only paintball I know of around me is the woodsy outdoor camo type with Tippmanns. Which really isn't my thing.

I think Denver is still on NPPLs stop for later this year.
Did you have a good time watching it?

nice pics. I played with friends and we got decimated by 14 year old nerds with $400 guns vs our crappy rentals. Got hit point blank on the forehead and looked positively hindu for a few days. we lacked adequate protection for sure. I likes to play with the real guns better.
