Fields are for Losers

[Temo Vryce]

Guerilla paintball


Well where I come from it's called outlawball becuase that's what it is. Outlawed.

I would rather drive for the hour I do to play at the field I play at because I know that the refs and staff there know how to do thier job. Can you say the same thing about the animals in the woods you play in? If you don't like the field in Hicksville then open your own field, or atleast try.

Ok, fields rule because:
(1) Air fills when you run out
(2) Paint available when you run out
(3) Tournament quality fields
(4) Refs are there(Sometimes, even if you are honest, you can't tell if you are hit I.E. visor, head, etc)
(5) You get to play against people who are better than you
(6) You wont get arrested/kicked off by the guy who owns the land when he finds out that you have a "PAINTBALL WARGROUND" on his land lol
(7) ProShop!
(8) I get paid money to ref there
(9) Hyperball!

My fields are like 30-40 minutes away, BUT I DON'T MIND!

ENDO!

What he posted was obveously meant to provoke some kind of reaction. I recommend that we don't give it to him.

The field is just about 10 minutes from where i live it only costs about 10 dollars to play and all day air is 6 dollars and its BYOP. My cousin also has a backyard field so I go and play there most of the time and we normally have about 4 on 4. It is a speedball field (not in the woods) and we only have to walk less than a minute to get to the field. We have air fills there too. And a hand held chrono. So I say that there are good and bad about the field and the backyard field.

i love renegade ball. that's pretty much all we do around here. we get free CO2, and we pay $4 for nitro for the day(to cover the gas cost of the guy who fills it, really, since he has to go a 1/2 hour to get the scuba filled). we pay prices for paint that are no higher than any online store(and we don't pay shipping). since we set up the games and often play on our property or places we have premission to play on, we make the rules. if they're not followed, you don't come back. we only allow masks made out of hard plastic, no flexy stuff. yes, we don't have refs, but we're a rather honorable bunch and far as i've seen, we've had no problems with cheating. the cops don't care, the neighbors don't care. as long as you do things right, you can still play renegade and do it safely. oh yeah, and the rescue squad is right down the street, so medical attention is readily available. we've all owned at least two guns of entirely different manufacture, so there's usually someone there that can fix a broken gun. if they can't, well most of us still have that tippmann or spyder that got us into paintball to begin with. there's no hiking involved to get to the playing aread. it's through a stand of trees from our 'parking area' and about 50 yards past them. typically we can muster a 8v8 game, and on occasion we've been able to manage many more(biggest yet was 15v15. that was a great day). i think making backyard ball an enjoyable experience depends on who know(for paint and gas) and who play with/against.

ummm i beg to differ...i've played both own field and actually field

~~~my field
~i own a fill station
~i know tech. of every gun used where we play..cept the autococker
~medical help is near by...
~and we have upwards to 20 ppl show

~~~~actual field
~everything above
~games are to far spaced
~some places don't allow s/f
~some places don't allow mulitple hits
~some places split the games to super guns,regular, and pump

Fields suck for me...
$15 for admission
$10 for rental/mask
$20 for 500 paintballs
2 hour drive on average.
Only played six 15 minute games the whole 5 hours I was there...
need to have parents sign wavers.

Guerilla...
Can go play in old abandoned house for free
I can leach off all my friends' paint
I can borrow my friends' guns and not rent them
I like those house games with 3v3... it includes more tactics.
I also like how when you get shot you can just keep playing until everyone runs out of paint...there's no real outs and crap. Makes the game more fun.

Screw malls...i always thought the greatest place to play would be an airport....whoops....shhhhhh.....maybe i shouldn't have said that...

at my field, you sign waivers once, then you get a membership card.

backyard ball can be very dangerous and illegal in some areas. this can also give paintball a bad name. stick to the fields.

[FooTemps]

Well, all the fields I go to the wavers are one time use only... I wish the fields I went to had that membership thing...

[MoserMan]

Man some of you sound like little girls...
Its dangerous to play on your own...oh no
R u kidding?
Playing on open public property doesnt work (with cops confiscating you guns ) but if you are on public property no one usually cares
I've played in my back yard many times and the only comments I get are by my neighbor who incourges it cause he thinks I am prepping to invade afganistan

Im not trying to start contraversy im just stating what I believe

[MoserMan]

who needs refs?

Ive experienced alot of refs, not all, that dont know what they are doing and get in the way

as long as you play with people who dont try to cheat then its all good

Ok, your back yard is what we call 'Private' property. You are allowed to play there, you own it. Public is what we call..Uncle sams back yard. Thats somewhere you have to abide by the law keepers rules or pay the penalty. In NJ a paintball gun is considered a firearm. Can be confiscated and you could get in trouble if the police think you are up to something. I called the local 'po po' and thats what they said. You see, not everyone in America walks around wearing their nifty JT spectras. Get a ball in their eye and thats a recipe for lawsuit vs the city, for not protecting them. Is it worth it to get my expensive gun taken away because I'm too cheap to afford an extra $25? My answer is no. But I'm also the kind of guy that will actually go out to the movie theater instead of waiting for the movie to come out on video tape and sit home and watch it. Don't get mad because the field needs to make a profit in order for you to play there....they don't do charity work and believe it or not they have a family to feed too.

To end this post I will quote a famous saying that I heard in high school, when I wasn't sleeping of course.
"your rights end where my nose begins"
