I turn 14 in March . I got my first gun on my 12th birthday. I started actualy playing then. I had played for about a year before I got my own gun but like once a month. Pretty much everything is paintball for me so I plan on playing for a while.

[Railgun]

54

Started just last year. Wish I'd started earlier. WHAT FUN!

I don't use painkillers but when I get home in the truck after a day of playing and step out to open the gates there's a LOT of groaning going on at the hurtin'....

Only made it out 14 to 16 times last year partly due to crappy weather and partly due to other commitments.

Started at 13, currently 21.

EDIT: Paintball has been the direct cause of 3 MRI scans and two life long ailments on each knee. I had some hyrdocodine to but that was before I was determined to be unaffected by codine drugs. I don't like taking pills any way, but I usually take 3 Advil before I hard days play and 2 more if I eat something again, then a one advil and a hard drink before I go to bed with heat packs on each knee. Don't **** with me on the field, I make it all worth it.
