Paintball Adventure

Recently one of my buddies invited me to go paintballing with him. He had been talking about this sport a lot, and it sounded pretty fun. And he was getting pretty serious about it too. So the day came, and he took me out to where they did this crazy thing. When we got there I saw that he wasn’t the only one who took this all very seriously too. They had a special facility all set up with big blow up things that they used for cover. And everyone was all decked out in their paintball gear.

My buddy loaned me one of his paintball guns and a mask, and then walked me through the drill. Basically it is like the game steal the bacon that we played in grade school. Only this time you are trying to steal the other team’s flag. And they are shooting at you with paintball guns! I had so much fun!

And now I’m all excited because he invited me to go again this weekend. Only this time they are doing it at a different place. I’m not sure if the rules are exactly the same, but this time we are doing it in a wilderness setting. He said I should wear any camouflaged clothing I have and even asked me if I had any tactical gear! It sounds like this time around it is going to be more like real combat. And I can’t wait!
