Paintball is a never ending money sucker
How much would you say you spend a month on it? Im generally talking about paintballs and refills but if you include upgrades I guess thats ok.
I just want to get an idea of how much this sport is going to run me.
Thanks again guys

I spend about $60 each time I play. That should give you an idea.

After the $300 for a gun and gear, you will pay about $50-$100 every time you play. It's an expensive sport.

Well it'll still cost about $50 to play in the woods. Paint is expensive.

My average so far for the past month is $26 while playing 2x (Every other week). Fills are free for me since I supply the tank to our recball players. The $26 was for a box of 1000 PMI premiums and I still have 400rnds left. Sunday I took down 1/2 the enemy team (2 players) with 6 shots from my PGP. I nailed the first guy with one shot.  I seem to do better the less paint I use for some reason. The 400 rnds will probably last me another month since I've still got plenty of 10 rounders filled for stockclass. Once you are happy with your setup the only big fee (field and fills are cheap) would be paint. You can really save some money by aiming.

Every month I'll buy a case and get 2 or 3 refills. That comes out to around 60 dollars. But I got layed off, so I probably wont play as much.

62 a day, every other week, thats speedball. a case is 44 and admission is 28, so it can get expensive, but if you play pump and find good deals on paint it'll be like 500 balls a day so very very cheap.

Nearest field to me that doesnt require a reservation is like an hour away... It's 12$ entry, 4$ fill, and 90 bucks for a case of paint... So I normally just buy like 1000 rounds and play till thats gone... so I spend about 60 bucks when I play there
