HI

My name is jon and I just got into paintball. When I went to my first game

I was nervous. But I wan't to tell you that you shouldnt be.

My Advice

I found everyone to be very friendly at the park and there were many other newbies.

I recommend going with a friend just so you feal more comfortable. Don't worry abou't

knowing what to do out there on the field. Most parks have orientation meetings telling you what to

do when you're hit and how to handle your gun. For the first time you should rent a gun in case you

absolutely hate the sport (which I scincerly doubt). If you want to buy a gun you may want to

buy a pump acton marker because they are less expensive and again if you don't like paintballing then

you wont be down too much money. If you wan't to buy a semi-auto then don't waste your money on

some "cheapo" one. I recommend getting a Spyder. I have a Spyder Compact 2000 which was

only $109.00 and it has satisfied me completely. Spyders are good guns because many aftermarket

parts are available for them, so when you decide that you need some better equipment you can

simply upgrade your gun instead of buying a whole new gun. See the links section for places to

buy online.
