Used to wear a cup. Found it pointless especially once I got a pair of really baggy paintball pants. For how many layers there are, wearing a cup isn't necessary. Never been shot in the nads though. If it ever concerns me, I just make sure a leg is more likely to be in the way.

Yeah the couple of nard shots I've taken were "bell end" shots with BDU pants back in my college days. That just frikken stings. But at least you don't get the "I need to vomit" reflex from that experience which a nice hard kick to the nuts would produce.

I've never been shot in the wedding tackle either. Once I lost my box and didn't have time to stop to buy another, so I also added some protection there and just went with it.

I narrowly avoided a hit to the nads. My knee moved in front of them in the last split second.

THAT hurt like hell, so it would have been apocalyptic. I never played without one again. I still have three or four around the house somewhere.

After years of work, I finally got my ZoomCam where I am totally pleased with the results. 

Here is a little video I made to show off its capabilities vs traditional action cams on the market.

Thankfully I've yet to take one to the stick and berries, but through my years of experience as a hockey goalie I know the importance of protection there. Regretfully and stupidly I've never addressed this issue, but after fanning through these posts it's on my list before I hit the field again. There are a lot of inexperienced players out there these days that just pray and spray, increasing the odds tremendously.

Is Zoom Cam the name of the product itself? I was thinking about a GoPro for the future, how does it compare in terms of video quality?

The ZoomCam is my own invention, I don't have them for sale. 

If I were thinking about an action cam, I would lean towards the Contour vs the Go pro. The go pro has a funky size and shape, especially when putting it on your helmet. Plus the mic is pretty weak once inside the waterproof housing to keep paint off of it. 

I use a Contour Roam, great little camera for the money.

So my goal filming games was to let the viewer at home "feel" the fun of woodsball. 

I think this game finally captures that "feel"... What do you guys think? It is a full game from our last event (game 9). 

A sniper was hidden, and we had to push trying to get them to fire and expose "where" they were, as I wasn't sure...
