    What hobby/sport did you give up to paintball?

    I was just wondering what sport or hobby other members here have given up or let suffer because of their addiction to paintballing?

    For me it was golf. I still golf in tournaments 3 or 4 times a year, but I used to play at least every other weekend. No more! No I paintball every chance I get. Both hobbies are very expensive though so I realized no savings by moving from golf to paintball!

            Girlfriends, I didn't give it up, but I had to cut back on it. I kinda miss it; one of my favorite hobbies.

                  yup - mee2

                  Although... If I didnt' spend my money on paintball stuff, I might have a better car, and maybe a better house, but it's all realative. I choose to live this lifestyle and play paintball whenever I can.

                  BTW - I like my house, I designed it:

                        Golf

                        Well me and a teammate use to go play golf at least twice a week, I'm a member at the country club so I can walk when ever I want. But all funds go to paintball, I only play golf when I have time and the extra cash. I am also thinking about giveing up football for it, but i don't think that would float well with my dad and football coach

                              I was a competetive NRA High Power Rifle shooter,
                              Service Rifle Class.
                              I was also playing Paintball, and had to make a
                              decision.
                              I could continue playing Paintball, or I could
                              continue to compete with the AR15.
                              I chose Paintball?
                              I still love both sport's, but Paintball require's
                              me to be more physically fit!
                              I think {Hope} I made the right choice.
