That means that there aren't going to be any organized teams playing that day. |

Umm, Win or lose , keep this in mind . You're gonna be playing against people that have more experience and knowledge than you currently have , you're gonna get hit a lot to start , first thing to learn is how not to be an easy target . The ideas at this site are good for either speedball ,or woodsball , watch and learn ; http://webdog.specialopspaintball.com/ - http://webdog.specialopspaintball.com/ Have fun , be safe , and Good Luck !! ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore .

wear long sleved shirts preferably something not bright but it wont really matter. most places have lockers you can rent. tips: look to the more experienced players for help but dont let them boss you around. keep mask on and follow rules. and youve never played before yet you have a gun? from their website it looks like field has little bit of everything, good place to begin with oh and remember not to be scared to move up the field, you will have a lot more fun even if hit more often ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

did u get it used? 20ft rule: when you're close you yell mercy and they will either go out, or decide to stay and try to attack you back, in that case shoot back. long pants always. i dont mind playing in t-shirt but always pants ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Go with pants. As for the 20ft rule, whenever I'm in that situation, I yell "Give in 3, 2, 1." If they dont give up, I shoot. Remember to play safe, stay hydrated, and have fun. Let us know how it goes. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

| If they don't give up when your within 20ft dont be to much of an *** by shooting them somewhere it hurts more, instead shoot them in the foot or mask. They'll be glad you did it. oO But then again they did want a fight...Thats just what I do though.. |

You probably wont get that close anyway. The only way stuff like that happens in woodsball is if you are hiding in brush and they dont detect you while they're walking by.
Unless you are very sneaky. And BTW, Have good sportsmanship, dont be a jerk -------------

Well said man. Also check out this site. It might not help you with tactics, but when you start getting more serious about woods it can be an awesome place to get gear. www.opsgear.com -------------

when do you go? oh abd be forewarned that the worst place to get hit in my opinion is the neck. the ball wont break and itl feel like a punch in the neck ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Neck isnt that bad, I'd say worse is in the balls.. by a lot. I got hit in the neck from 20 feet, it bled but barely hurt. My advice to you, Is try not to be too trigger happy and end up wasting balls.. But don't sit around not really helping your team. Try moving up whenever possible and giving your teammates cover and if they ask you to do somthing nicely, listen to them. Getting hit doesn't hurt when you're having a lot of fun so run around, get some hits, take some hits and get used to the game but always remember to have fun. -------------

Depends on the field. and what day of the week. if u have a good mask u
dont need it but the field may sell it and it depends on the field most
do ive seen some that dont.

Find an experienced player and stick with them. Do what they say, when
they say it, and how they say to do it. Dont think, just act. Unless of
course hes using you as a decoy. I've had new players that wouldnt move up the field and flank them when it was 2 on 1 because they thought the guy was shooting at them when they heard his shots(actually were being shot at me). Just remember, if they aren't shooting at you, move to where you can get them. Just stay low, alert, and don't fire till they're within range and you'll be fine. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

but my first time, i didn't hit more than 3 people, but i still had a ball. something about projectiles whizzing by your head, knowing there are alot of people out there that want to eliminate you... but then knowing you have the power to win. just remember, there is no way you can be seriusly injured by a paintball. ------------- X |
