The Top 3 American Paintball Fields

Playing paintball is a blast, no matter where you play. But like your paintball gun, where you play can make a difference in your game.

The best place in the country to play is in Skirmish USA in Albrightsville, PA. This place has all kinds of different fields ranging from a western battlefield, to an airfield with airplanes, oil derricks, and towers, to castles with ramparts, towers and 15 foot walls. They also have a fake city called Tippman City, with 27 buildings perfect for hiding and sniping. The Metal Lands are filled with steel boxes that provide some of the field’s best sound effects. With over 700 acres, you will be sure to find a field that intrigues you.

Old River Paintball is in Florida, and has 12 different fields. They also have an air station to refill your paint ball gun tanks. With a variety of games, like Speedball, Airball and Hyperball, they keep the fun coming.

Third is Advanced Alabama Adventures. AAA has been around for more than 20 years, and is willing to change the course to suit your desires. Personalized paint ball has never been so easy.

These three are some of the country’s best, but if you can’t get to any of them, it’s easy to find a good field in your neck of the woods.

Play Speedball with Competition Paintball Guns

If you’re an avid paintballer, chances are that you’re always looking for ways to enhance your game and new ways to stomp the competition. If you haven’t started playing speedball, or competitive paintball, you should! It’s an incredible, adrenaline filled game that is a bit more challenging, than just going out and playing with friends.

If you aren’t familiar, paintball has two different types of games: woodsball and speedball. Speedball is when the field is composed of inflatable bunkers, of the same location and number on each side of the field. This way, the field is an even playing ground for both teams.

Speedball teams can typically consist of 3, 5, 7 or 10 players. The paintball markers are different as well.
Speedball markers are designed with high rates of fire. They are the guns used by professionals who compete because they can seamlessly put out multiple shots per second.

So whether you’re already a big speedball player, or just want a paintball marker that is tournament worthy, you should look into competition paintball guns at Choicepaintball.com

A Beginner's Guide to Paintball

Paintball is a growing sport and a lot of people are trying it for the first time. But as my grandpa says, it’s all fun and games till someone loses an eye! With that said, it’s important you know what you’re doing.

• While we’re on the subject of losing eyes, the first rule is to never EVER take your mask off unless you’re in a designated area. Paintball guns are pretty powerful, so unless you’d be into wearing an eye patch for the rest of your life, keep the mask on.

• Make sure you understand your paintball gun and its operations and limitations. Don’t be afraid to ask someone if you’re unsure.

• Wear darker clothes. White is bright and makes you an easier target, especially if there are sniper paintball guns in use.

• As far as shoes go, wear some type of boots or hiking/running shoes. Some people even wear Soccer or Football cleats for better traction.

• Keep your eyes open and look around. A lot of players get hit because they aren’t looking sideways or are too focused on one area. Look around, people could be anywhere.

• Don’t stay a spot for too long. Don’t be afraid to run out uncovered. Run, hide, attack and remember to look around. This may take a while to train yourself to do, because it’s our nature to focus on one thing, but you’ll get better the more you play.

• Never give up! Whether you run out of paintball supplies or energy, you’re still useful to the game.
