I play paintball to stay in shape!

 I was 45 and out of shape and so my son wanted to get into paintball.  After studying much information about paintball - the game, the guns, the gear; I thought it looked cool and might be a good activity I could get involved with my son.

Great Goggle Advice

If you cannot see, you are no help to your team and you are endangering yourself.  I would take being able to see and a single shot pump-action paintball gun over the best paintball marker you can buy and fogged lenses (any day!!).  So, when you buy your paintball goggles, don't skimp.  Get the thermal ones with a good field of view (if you already own goggles, go back and buy the thermal lenses for them).
