I know that I would much rather drive my vette over playing paintball. Plus it I rather spend the money on the vette.

Re: Corvette Guys and Paintball (ChromeCorvette)
I used to play A LOT until I got into cars. My paintball marker was a Shocker and I had around $1500 in it. I even used to have my own paintball store. I had wholesale accounts with National Paintball Supply, I&I Sports, Smart Parts.
I used to be pretty good but sold my equipment to start souping up my car. I kind of miss playing paintball with the guys but I love racing my car down the 1/4 mile.

What about potato guns? anybody into those? I made one out of about $25 of ABS pipe that will shoot a lemon a good 350-400yards. It's a blast and it's cheap (cause my buddy has a lemon orchard ;) )

Paintball is a ton of fun. I use to play all the time. The place i played was an indoor arena. It was really cool. The place has since gone out of buisnes. :cry now I don't have time to play as much as i want to with college and the vette taking alot of my time. Oh and work.

Re: Corvette Guys and Paintball (ChromeCorvette)
I play once a week. I got into it last year, it's really addicting. I bought a Tippmann Custom 98 with a 14" Custom Products barrel, a scope, and double trigger. I'd like to add some more stuff later, but right now the cash is going into the Vette. It's a great sport, though. We play outside in the woods- it's fun, and you get a LOT of excercise.

I used to play, but the innaccuracy of my gun angered me too much. I have no trouble spotting people, I can just never hit them. I have no trouble hitting a target with a real rifle, so it's not that I can't aim.

My son and I like to play once or twice a month. We have a lot of fun. We own our equipment but have to buy field paint at $80 for 2000k rounds. That lasts about 4-6 trips.

Paintball is alot of fun, especially if you play with friends. If you go to one of those public fields, just hope whoever your playing against doesn't have any kind of military background. Theyre impossible to beat...thank god! :D

I was chasing a guy and wasn't very far from him and missied and he turned around and chased me and missed me too. I need like a shotgun paintball gun.
