What do I need to bring with me?
The most important thing to bring with you is a willingness to have a go and a sense of humour. Older clothing is a good idea and sensible outdoor footwear is essential.

Do you take kids?Paintball insurance in this country will only allow persons of 12 years and above. We run kids games on Sundays where any adult groups are run separately.

Do you do discounts for a half day?Our packages are based on the number of paintballs provided and not the amount of time spent with us. Savings on a half day session can be made by not requiring so many paintballs.

How long are the sessions?We ask our guests to arrive at 10.00am and we usually finish around 4.30pm. Although sessions can be arranged to a groups individual specific requirements.

I have heard you take up to 200 people on your site, isn't that a bit manic?We normally put our groups consisting of up to 50 players in total into games. This means you will play against an opposing team of around 25 people in all. We will of course consider alternate group sizes if requested.

Does the paint wash out?Yes, the paint washes out of the hundreds of pairs of overalls we use every week, thankfully.

How many paintballs will I use?Hmmm, the hardest question to answer, but I will try, average use last year was roundabout 500 paintballs on a half day and 600 on a whole day, though many customers used less, and of course we have the one or two who use a lot more. I would recommend a 300 paintball package at least for a half day, and 500 for a whole day.

I am coming all day, is a meal provided?Yes, and a good one at that, nothing fancy, but we do like to provide a good meal.

What are the guns like?They are semi-automatic (fires each time you pull the trigger), gravity fed paint marker guns. They run off of a compressed air cylinder . These cylinders can provide close to 500 shots before they run out and will be refilled by the marshals when necessary. The guns are set up to hold up to 200 paintballs at a time and to shoot 2-3 paintballs per second. The paintguns, with cylinder and paintballs, weighs between 4 and 5 pounds. It's about the same size as an Air Rifle.
