What age did all of you start paintball? I'm 14, and I wanna know if I'm old enough to start, or if I'm younger than most of you guys.

 

[mcdoofy]

[paintballinkid6]

11, at my birthday party. My second time ever playing i played at some ones house. I was running a little behind, and these two guys (who were huge dicks) were not pleased cause i had to reload and was taking my time getting to the other side of the field to start the game. They shot me multiple times (about 8 times in the back of the head, 12 or so in my butt and another 8 or so in my thighs)and i sat out the rest of the day, it hurt and these guys were in there mid 20's and just lit up some 11 year old. Luckly i kept playing paintball. These guys still live in my area and i would love a re-match today, i have a feeling a few 'bonus balls' would be an understatemant for what i would do to these guys.

I first played when I was 12, bought my own equipment at 13, played increasingly more and more until I played competitively at around... I think it was 16 or somewhere thereabouts.

[bobide]

I started at 1. I had a paintball birthday. I didnt play again for a few months. I never actually PLAYED paintball seriously like anyone here. I just played a few games here and there. Maybe 10 times I've paid for entry in my life. I'm here for the lounge.

Started at 13, good times with rentals

 

[skapunkin]

always look to better yourself

20 - so about four and a half years ago.

What are you worried about? Anyone can pick up a sport if they're enthusiastic about it. You're at a good age to learn anything you want but don't let age stop you from pursuing new skills later in life either.
