WHAT IS PAINTBALL? THE BEST PAINTBALL FIELDS IN THE US!

What is paintball? Where to play it in the United States.

The enjoyment level of paintball largely depends on the quality of the playing field. Playing on a poorly constructed or mismanaged paintball field with inadequate refereeing will result in a negative experience. 

However, playing on a well-built, well-managed field with attentive referees who prioritize player satisfaction will likely result in a positive experience. To provide an idea of what a great paintball field entails, we’ve compiled a list of the top paintball fields in the United States!

 

What is paintball?

 

Paintball is a strategic shooting game that can be played for both fun and training purposes. It was first developed in May 1981 in New Hampshire, America by an outdoorsman and stockholder. 

The game originated as a bet to determine which was better suited for survival in a wooden territory, a countryman or a city guy. The game was played using a paint gun typically used by farmers to mark trees and cattle. Teams of 10 people each were formed, but the winner of the debate remains unknown. 

The purpose of the game is to capture the flag, eliminate opponents, attack or defend a designated spot or area, or capture hidden objects in the playfield. The game can be played indoors or outdoors, and the field sizes may vary from natural to artificial. The duration of the game varies depending on the game type, which can range from minutes to hours, or even days for some “scenario play” games.

You will need to wear protective equipment and learn to use the compressed air gun. Are you ready?
