Our customer FAQs
Paintball is an adrenalin activity. The excitement is created by a competitive atmosphere and an incentive to avoid getting shot. Our Junior paintball equipment use smaller more delicate paintballs which are felt slightly more keenly than a Nerf dart for example but should not cause pain. Under 12’s are offered protective gloves, chest/back protection and a head guard along with certifies paintball goggles/face mask.
For adults we use a larger paintball fired with a higher velocity. These are felt more keenly to heighten the excitement of the game and can cause minor bruising we like to call badges of honour! Adults are supplied with coveralls with an integrated head cover and certified paintball goggles/face mask. Additional padding or gloves can be brought along as you see fit.
Games usually last between 15 and 25 mins. You should expect to play around 8 to 10 games in a full day but we are happy to play as many games as possible within your allotted booking timings.
On average an individual will use 800 paintballs in a full day. However, the frustrated Rambo’s out there intent on shooting everything that moves you can expect to shoot 1000-1500 paintballs in a full day.
I see where this is going! If you make a private booking and have the consent of all parents then yes. But don’t come crying to us when the kids gang up on you!
