Road Trip to Wagga Part 1

Myself and two friends made the trip to Wagga for the weekend - we played paintball at Wagga's only paintball field, Project Paintball Wagga.

We left Dubbo on Friday evening after getting all our equipment organised - arrived in Wagga at 11:30pm Friday night, checked into our hotel, The Lawson Motor Inn.... then went out for some drinks! Saturday morning, we went to Project Paintball and played until 1pm. Back to the hotel, check in and shower then lunch! Saturday afternoon, we went to the Palm and Pawn Motor Inn and Pub - caught up with members of the Sitting Ducks from Canberra.... then off to the Victoria Hotel for more!

More to come.....

A little about paintball that I have learnt Part I

I have learnt heaps about paintball - here's what I have learnt in my own words.....

Paintball is a game of skill where the players on each team have to eliminate the players on the opposing team... this is done with a paintball marker and vegetable dye-filled gelatin balls. If a player is hit, they must raise their hand and leave the field and must not return to field of play (single life games) or return to start and re-enter the field of play (multiple life games) - the field I play at usually plays multiple life! The main marker used at my local field is the Tippman 98 Custom, in normal and Anti-Chop Technology (ACT) types - the ACT 98 Custom allows the user to keep firing if a blockage occurs, thus reducing downtime and running repairs in the field.... and the blockage usually comes out with multiple firings! I prefer the ACT version - my first marker will be a 98 Custom with ACT!

Will continue this post in the next installment!
