i'm gonna go live in BOSTON, MA. by the end of summer, and i'm really into the paintball scene, so i just wanted to know if there is any paintball arenas in or NEAR boston...thanks
Welcome to the show.. I don't know how many people would be interested although there was talk of a paintball meet at some time.

Let me know if you set something up groupwise..
im in for paintball me and my friends play every sunday, we are located in spfld. so if something comes together then i know i will go, then i got like possibly 5 other people to join in
I'd be into it - there's an indoor arena in Amherst, MA that's pretty interesting. But I've been to a much larger place near providence (I think) and that was much better. They're worth looking into...
well as an avid paintball player (yes I have other hobbies besides my car) I go to a lot of places in and around Boston, like camp paintball, canobie paintabll, boston paintball and others. Where do all u peeps live? maybee we can have a game or something. If not my friend had a 6 million dollar house and like 13 acres of woods, which a lot of space for paintball.

The only time we played, my team, made up of people in their 20's, went up against a bunch of 10-12 year olds. I felt bad about firing at first, till some kid took aim at my head. After that, all I saw was red red red
Hehe, do those things sting when you get hit? Before paintball we used to play with BB guns. Now those things stang! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
Indeed they do - not too bad, but you'll leave with a few war injuries to brag about [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
One thing I learned fast though, is to watch my aim...I had a kid pegged in a corner, and I was trying to fire at him, but I had to do it blindly since I was taking fire from somewhere else...well, I didn't notice that one of the officials moved right in front of where the kid was. Not looking when I stood up to fire, I totally unloaded on this guys crotch, which of course stopped the game while he recovered [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
So wait, there's officials too? That's in the indoor arena's though, right? When you play in teams with people you know you probably just wing it, right?
The way it was set up was you have two teams, and you can be one team, or choose to join in with another. Officials make sure if you get tagged that you walk out of the zone and wait till the round is over. They also make sure everyone is playing safe.
The one that I had lasted till the last man was standing, and if you're shot, you have to walk out and wait till the end of the round. It was indoors, so you had all the barriers and stuff to watch out for. You can carry refills of ammo so you don't run out right away, but if you run out, you have to leave till the end of the round.
I believe the outdoor arenas have officials too...sux, since one shot and you're out...
That would suck.
