FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1) What do we need to bring with us?
Each person should bring the following:
• Old boots or trainers (With Ankle Support)
• Track suit bottoms and sweat shirt (or other loose clothing)
• A change of clothing if neccessary
• A willingness to get "stuck in" and enjoy yourself!
2) Does it hurt?
Getting hit with a paint pellet, especially from close range, can sting a bit. However, this is part and parcel of the game, and for most people it enhances the excitement of paintball. All of our marshals are very experienced and our equipment meets all of the safety standards set by the industry. Each person will be made aware of the rules and the marshals are present during the whole day to ensure that the rules are adhered to and to help players remain safe and enjoy themselves.
3) Are the paintballs environmentally friendly?
The paint pellets are not actually made from paint. They are soft gelatine capsules containing a mixture of vegetable oil and food colouring. They are non-toxic and biodegradable.
4) Who plays paintball?
People from all walks of life, and all levels of fitness can and do take part in the activity. You do not need to be fit, as you can adopt a role within your team which best matches your level of fitness. Indeed, paintball is as much about mental agility as physical fitness, because tactics, leadership, teamwork and judgement all play an important part.
