Learn to play stock.:D
I love how cheap it is to play now. Much better then paying 100+ for a case of paint and 30 dollars to play at a field ontop of that.

there are many ways to save money playing just need to put your mind to it and set limits.
do i recommend going straight to stock class play? no because theres a few times where that extra couple balls are needed (although some say you shouldnt put your self in that situation in the first place but wheres the fun in that :) )

get a pump and play CA stock class
I spend about $10-15 per day for 6-7 hours of paintballing
I use about 150-200 rounds, compared to 1500 with my paint-eating emag.
w00t!
(get a phantom)

yes, yes it does.... I must say working with a feild, helps TREMENDOUSLY...
34/case of DraXxus paint is the "bomb-diggity"
that coupled with cheap/free air and no feild fee...just plain rox0rz...

Luckiley I only pay 48 dollars a day to play on sunbdays, but that is still outrageous. If you want to play cheaper, buy a phantom :)

Zap Tork smells good and only costs me ~$35 a case. :)
Field fee is only $5 per person if you call ahead with 5 people comming. Not too expensive for me.

thump, that isnt cheap. You are paying about twice what you should for paint. I'd rather pay $12 for 500, and pay $2 per air fill than almost $30 for 500. RIP OFF.
