I've been waiting a long time for this.. Little Evil finally turned 8 last week and this Sunday I took him out for his first paintball game. We played .50 cal,( which is PERFECT for kids. ) He did pretty good, until I shot him with a 68 cal and he cried :o Probably going to have to give him a year or so until he's ready for the big leagues but he says he had fun and wants to do it again. Now to hook all of his Fortnite playing friends :)

Little Evil earned a new nickname after those games pictured. Daddy played some 1v1 games and little Evil decided shooting daddy was fun, so he is a bonus baller. Never heard a child laugh more gleefully or sadistically than after the first hit landed ,the bonus balls came. He is daddy's little "bonus baller".

I didn't feel so bad when I shot him with the 68 cal and made him cry :)

My 14yo son has been running with me for a while, but a few weekends ago, my 11yo daughter came out to play Tombstone with us. It was her first scenario game and she did great! So proud!

I've been out for a while and have an 8 year old I was thinking about taking out for the first time. Does 50 cal hit that much lighter? What fps is 50 cal typically?

Check at your local field to see if they have it first.

Yes it hits lighter. The ones that were used were chekno'd lower than field standards. It is also because the 50cal paint has way less mass.

And most importantly, because the field has such an outstanding safett record, the minimum age was lowered from 10. Your local foeldnmihjt be different

Im going to probably pick up a couple of 50 cal guns for me and the kid. Hopefully PE puts out a decent lower end one.. I really don't want to buy eNMEYs…

I heard there was such a thing.

Even though we aren't doing Tunaball anymore, I am still trying to do an event every year at Togun. This year it was the 30th anniversary weekend, next year it looks like we will be doing a Carl Sr Memorial event the weekend of June 29th.
