What is
Paintball?
ONLY
play Paintball outdoors and in open air area's...
Paintball
is the fastest growing extreme sport in the
world, two teams try to eliminate each other by 'tagging' them with a paintball fired by a paintball gun.
Paintballs are a gelatine capsule filled with water soluble food dye.
Paintball should only be played outdoors. It originated outdoors,
and is best enjoyed outdoors. Playing Inside a Shed or in a Net
covered field is congested, repetitive and you will be playing the
same games over and over again. Why would you play anywhere else but
Paintball Carrum Downs, WE ARE the ones that "wrote the book on Paintball".
