Trying to organize a paintball game? Find and organize a group of players for regular paintball games.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Recruit people who play paintball and possess the minimum equipment of a mask and a paintball gun. If you don't know enough people, go to your local paintball store and ask the owner if you can post a sign-up list. Make slots for names and phone numbers, putting your own information in the first slot as an example.

  2. Step 2

    Find a place to play. Ask about both official and unofficial - but not illegal - locations at your local paintball store (see "How to Find a Paintball Field"). If you know someone with open land, that's a good option, as long as you treat the land with respect.

  3. Step 3

    Buy paintballs and CO2. Buy extra stuff and sell it to people who forget or run out. Remind everyone to fill their CO2 tanks before the game.

  4. Step 4

    Get a chronograph. If you don't have one, or access to one, you can rent one from a paintball store (see "How to Calibrate a Paintball Gun").

  5. Step 5

    Set a day. Pick a date far in advance so people can plan ahead, and then call people the night before to remind them.

  6. Step 6

    Play paintball. Play fair and safe and everyone will have fun.

  7. Step 7

    Discuss the day's problems and work on some solutions for the next game. Set a date for the return engagement.

Tips & Warnings
  • Play at a local field and observe the safety precautions taken there. Use these same precautions on your own field. Barrel plugs, a chronograph and face masks are all a must.
  • Always wear eye protection around paintball guns.
