    I got into paintball because it is the best excuse for exercise that I can think of.

          Ill be 21 before the end of the year...But Im too lazy to stand up I got a magazine, got invited to a game one thanksgiving break, addicted ever since (Nov '97) I love paintball because of the competitive nature, all the toys that come with it. And I also love seeing the little paintball fly out and land right on the intended target. Its kinda like the feeling you get after scoring in any other sport.

              I turn 20 in 6 weeks, but I'll reply anyways.

              It is the most rewarding hobby I have found so far, it gets me outside, and I enjoy spending money.

              I started playing with a few friends of mine six years ago. They have all since stopped playing.

                *stands up* Hey! What about us over 40, overweight, long time not single guys? We play as much, if not more, than these young punks that can't get a girl!

                I've played for over 5 years now, started after I saw my first marker up close. Heard about a local tourney, liked what I saw, bought first gun, haven't quit since!!

                  31 years old. Friend of a friend organized a game. I loved it, and started organizing my own. Read up on this site, and bought an E-mag.

                  Thanks to Tom Kaye, my biceps are bigger, my teeth are whiter, my severed limb grew back, and chicks dig me!

                    /me stands up!

                    I'm currently 31 years old. I first played the sport when I was around 23 years old. I played occassionally for many years after that but never got into the sport seriously because I lacked the knowledge of paintball markers and didn't own one until 2 years ago.

                    My first marker was a classic automag which I still have today. Ever since then, and after learning about this site, I've expanded my knowledge base and the love of the sport grew from there. It's just a great way to spend a day outside with friends and people who aren't afraid to get out and get dirty.

                    What's cool about this game is no matter what your playing style may be, you're instantly guaranteed a good time. It also allows me to be aggressive and play hard.

                    Granted, there are plenty of other things I enjoy with a passion. When asked what I'm doing over the weekend, where I can answer back, "I'm going out to shoot my buddies" and get away with it? Nothing like paintball that's for sure!

                      *stands up* Hi, my name is Tactical Neural Implant and I'm an alcoh..... Ooops sorry wrong meeting. *Leaves*

                      I'm 28. Started in college when some friends convinced me to try it out. Paintballing is a total rush of excitement. It's also like being a kid again (playing tag, cowboys and indians, cops and robbers, etc.) I only play recreation paintball though. I think (for me) tournament ball is too competitive and I don't have fun.

                        I'm 26, started when I was 14 because it was fun, and a good way to punish my friends older brother (payback for all of the misery he caused us back then--BB's, punches, noogies, melvins, etc, etc). Needless to say, 12 years later it is still just as fun, even without the bully factor.
                        You like that, don't you

                            *stands up, knee pops, falls back down* I'm 28, and I started playing in 1998. I can't really remember where I first heard about paintball, but I do remember that I bought a lot of paintball magazines before I picked up my first marker. Now I have 12 markers (3 of which I put together from parts).
                            There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't.
