One of the hottest past times here for all ages is paint ball. Each month there is an event where the different teams get together and play. No, they are not professionals but they certainly act like it. These are friends, family and neighbors that have all gotten together to play team sports with paint ball.
After each set they will share what they have recently purchased to add to their equipment and skills. I know that a few of the people, men and women alike have the Spyder Electra and absolutely love it.
Of course there are Tippmann's in use as well. Each carries these guns as a badge of honor. And when the two sides start boasting which gun is the best. Well, then it is on. The two sides go against one another to see which team, the Tippmann or the Spyder's are the best.
You have to remember that playing paintball is not all fun and games. It is very serious when you are out there trying to sabotages another team and their team mates. Each player must be properly geared or they can not play. Safety is one issue that is never, and I mean never over looked. Each player must wear paintball masks. No mask, no playing. There are always extras so if something happens to a players mask it can be replaced for the day.
My oldest son has purchased the Empire Digi Blue thermal Paintball Mask. Why? First he thought it was cool looking, second he liked the way that it was constructed and second he stood out above the crowd. He has the camo tactical vest to help him carry his equipment with. He likes the fact that he can clip his mask onto it so he doesn't have to carry it.
Along with all the clothing he has enough tanks, balls and other things that would make your head swim.
He has purchased items off the Ultimate Paintball site. After he compared prices he found he actually was saving money on the item he purchased.
So if you are looking for a site that carries everything and anything for paintball you have come to the right place!
