Leaving the sport

[Frank (the spank)]

Bunker him.

Oh and to bunker someone it does not require that the person being bunkered actually be playing in the game. Ya know.. surprise him at work, at the dentist, in the bathroom etc..

Make sure you call him your female dog afterwards as well.

Trust me.. you'll feel A LOT better.

i no what it feels like

I too got burned out on paintball. I just took a break for amonth or two and hung out with my friends. I completely stopped watching and playing football or reading about tournaments. I didn't do any paintball related things so that when I did finally go again, I would be pumped up and excited to go paintballin. Then when I did finally go again, it was at a different field, which was much more relaxing and friendly. I fell back in loe with the sport right after that and have been going back to that field much more recently. Trust me, you'll fall in love with paintball all over again, oh yeah and this also started from a tourney related matter.

I almost forgot try to do a runthrough every game if you are a front player (I started to do that and it really makes the whole game better for me. Start from about the 50 and run the tape all the way to their deadbox, it gives you such an adrenaline rush and it feels awsome to have shot out 4 or 5 people in under 5 seconds too .)

doron,

dont worry about it...that happens to all of us...one time, a bunch of us went to play...and two friends (they were best friends since kindergarten), got into a fist fight about overshooting...that really bummed me out too...i didnt want to play anymore, because pball is SUPPOSED to be fun, and its not supposed to make best friends fight...well, they got over it...kissed and made up ...and im playing again...

like the other guys said...take a lil break...dont even read pball mags...then, in about a month or so...youll be itching to bunker someone again

Try a different sized field, ie big to small or small to big, 10 man to five man, five man to woods ect. Also, try different positions, and when all else fails, go for a random run-through, you'll be surprised how many times it works, and if it doesn't, hey its a huge rush. Try different strategies. If you read this post with a cynical eye, than I have no doubt that I cannot change your mind. However, if you read it with a hopefull eye yearning to enjoy once again the thrill of hearing the paint smack your bunker, running past beehives of paintballs, and seemingly having your blood change into adrenalin in the physical chess game of paintball, then I hope I can help.
