PAINTBALL
- SPECIAL INTEREST TOURISM
Paintball
In
less than a decade, the sport of paintball has become one
of the world's most exciting outdoor participation sports.
Paintball is played in over two dozen countries by millions
of men and women of all ages, races and lifestyles.
Paintball
is a combination of the childhood games of "Tag" and
"Hide and Seek", but much more challenging and sophisticated.
Although there are many different styles of games, typically
a group of players will divide into two teams to play "Capture
the Flag". The object of the game is to capture the opposing
team's flag while preventing them from capturing your own.
As you attempt to capture the flag, you can also eliminate
opposing players by tagging them with a paintball expelled
from a special CO2-powered paintball gun. Games usually
have a time limit of 15 to 30 minutes depending on the type
of game being played. Win or lose, everyone has a great time
and there's always the next game waiting for you.
A
paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule with coloured
liquid inside it. When a player is tagged bye a paintball,
the thin gelatin skin splits open, and the liquid inside leaves
a bright "paint" mark (or a "splat" mark). A player who is
marked by a paintball is eliminated from the current game.
The "paint", which is non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluble
and biodegradable, rinses out of clothing and off of skin
with mild soap and water.
Paintball
is a very safe sport when the saftey rules are followed. Players
must always wear special goggles and masks, made specifically
for paintball, to protect their eyes and faces during the
game and while in any area where shooting of paintballs is
permitted, such as the target range. Paintball guns are tested
with a chronograph to ensure the paintballs do not exceed
a safe speed (generally 300 fps). Referees are on the field
to control the game, enforce rules of safety and fair play,
and assist players with their equipment.
Paintball
is a sport played by people from all professions and lifestyles.
It is a sport where men and women compete equally, and where
age is not dominated by youth. Physical size and strength
are not nearly as important as cunning and determination.
Being able to think quickly and decisively and good sportsmanship
is what makes you a winner. Above all, paintball is fun. It's
a chance to relax from your day-to-day responsibilities and
rekindle your spirit of adventure.
