How did you get your start?

Friends birthday party, 1998..?

68 carbines were the rentals of choice, they were so...special.

Got my first gun summer of 2001. Yes, it took me 3 years to convince my parents.

I played a few times with my friends and then my parents surprised me one year with an A-5...

Ok first thing is first. I started out in paintball when one of my friends had just bought the A-5. I was amazed by its performance. I wanted to get into paintball right away and so I asked him wat kind of gun to get and so he said A-5 and I was like I can't spend that kind of money(yes I was short on money). So then I went to Academy (so sad) and saw all these fancy looking guns that were all electronic, but being a good friend as he is, he showed me the way to the 98 Custom. Oh yeah, he wouldn't let me buy a gun that wasn't Tippmann. So I have had my 98 Custom for about 2 years (I think).

For my newb story. I had just gotten my gun and I had to test it on my friend, the one I was talking about above ^^. He had an A-5 equiped with a flatline ,e-grip, and double trigger. I felt intimidated with just a stock 98 Custom. Well we were playing in the middle of the night, and we were playing in the woods. We had just started and he was shooting as fast as he could and he was just standing firing everywhere because he didn't know where I was so, I took my gun(we were both still at the starting points) and I shot three balls And I hit him with the third.

All the above is true

Some members of my Scout troop were holding a Paintball game/campout. They needed another target . . . er, player, so they called me and asked if I wanted to try.

A couple of my friends and I were walking up the street when we were in elementary school and some highschoolers started shooting us with paintball guns. We got hit a couple times, but thought that the guns were awesome. A year later I ended up getting my gun.

My very first game was when I was visting my cousin in Edmonton, after that I fell in love witht he sport about 4 years ago. However I am only seriously been playing this year and my first gun was a 98C.

saw it on the bernie mac show once and it looked really fun. tried it out and my assumption was true.

got my first gun about one month after that. it was a 98 custom which i still have

newb story: i ended up shooting myself in the foot the first time because i wanted to know what it felt like to get hit.....it hurt a lot more than i thought it would(mainly due to the fact that the gun was 6 inches from my body)

Edited by Kpoofs

I Have a B2K and a 98c.

All my friends were getting guns for christmas and so I convinced my parents to get me one. It was a Spyder Compact Deluxe which I still have but I later got a P/C.

	My friend played for a bday party and he told me it was a cool sport. My brother also played a few times. Got my tippmann 98 custom in spring of 2001. my story: First time playing at a field. I was told to move up to this big van. I ran and slid in. I dropped a pod of paint and turned around to pick it up. My whole back side was lit up with paintballs. I still have not been lit up as bad as that time. It was the most fun I have ever had.
