Hehe, I was planning on going last weekend, its just difficult to find a good group of people to go with, and actually find a decent place to do it in 
Did you have yours indoors or outdoors? [/QUOTE]Mine was outdoors... Up north, lots and lots of land/bush areas. Was great
Unfortunately, as Ivellis pointed out, bloody expensive though. At least spent $130 on the day.. (the bastards must make at LEAST a 300% profit on paintballs ) Although looking at it in a different light, thats just a regular night out at Stonewall, really.

Well basically you show up on the day and get suited up in army camo overalls, get given a gun and off you go playing "scenarios". Usually you go in a group... and often your group will get halved and joined up with another so you have the opportunity to shoot the hell out of your mates hah. It can actually get scary... well, not scary per-say, but it gives you a very vague idea of what a real life warground would be like. And THAT is scary. It's frightening to think how easy it is to get shot, how little you can do to stop it, and makes you respect those who DO fight for your country just that little bit more.
Oh - and if your hubby DOES end up going, make sure he buys/takes a doodle cup. His buddies may or may not make fun of him, but trust me, when you've seen the size of the bruises you can get and think about how they would feel on your TESTICLE, it's no longer a laughing matter. LOL.
