Heck yeah.  I picked it back up after a 3 year hiatus.  (Now I can afford the good stuff).  I play at least once a month out in the woods and cliffs.  Fun times.  (Though it can and does leave big honkin welts).  The guys I play with don't worry about chronoing their guns, just turn them to max.  Ouch, but fun.

I was, but stopped for a while. I'm just getting back into it, though- as a matter of fact I'm buying a new Tippmann A5 today.

The last time I was involved in a paintball related event, i was getting shot at with paintballs and shooting back with .45 ACP hardball.

Looks like it might be a Phantom?

I used to play when I was younger.  At that time, I could afford the good stuff.  In those days the Angel was king, with an Armageddon reg, and I forget the names of the rest of the good stuff.  Man was that game expensive.

At 27, I've now given it up for a house and family.  I have more money now, but not more to spare!

Agreed.

I'm 27 as well and my fiance and I just purchased a home so we can start our family once we're married.  Till then, a yellow labrador puppy will have to do (still looking for one).

With these responsibilities, I'd rather give up paintball and concentrate on my other passions, firearms.

I go through seasons of each- intense paintball for six months or so, with guns on the back burner, then guns become king, etc. It is very expensive; and generally, $50 of ammo lasts longer than $50 (2000 rounds) of paint does!

i'm hoping the phantom might help that

NO kidding about the paint.

The last 3-man I went to, we shot +10k.

Practices usually mean more paint.

It's firearms for me as of now.

Love paintball! I play a couple of times a week. Once with friends, and then one day a week for work training.
