thinkin bout startin a field..

[paintpumper]

how much, as an estimate, would it cost to buy two sup air fields along with 20 rental markers and all of the other stuff i need for a field, like chrono's, masks, tanks, fill station, etc.?

[slikna99]

too much fr the average joe to afford.. something like 4-6 supair things cost upwards of 3000... and youll figure ull need atleast 6 orders of 4-6 inflatable things... so... 18,000 right there... then 20 markers... can cost about 3000 if you buy cheap.. prolly less... and.. then chronos are like 300.. so ur looking atleast 25,000

[chibissj]

well if u were wierd and wanted to buy 70 guns, 70 20 oz tanks, 70 jt spectra mask , and 70 somethig nelse, u can find it on ebay for 5000 bux lol.

http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/051-119-0002.html thats a 7 man, so its about 8000 for 2.

[Azn_gansta]

prolly 10k-20k if ur buying good fields. Proly 2k for markers, masks, tanks,hoppers,etc. Air Compressor prolly 3-5k. Netting, poles, blah blah blah. a **** load of $. insurance, land, blah blah blah a **** load.
SO in other words a **** load of money

[Magnus55]

Yeah it's not only the material items that you need to run a field, theres all the paper work and insurance, bills etc etc etc

[Calebd2]

I made a field... it's not official, but it's just as good as any other field

I've spent atleast 10,000 on field material, rentals, co2, nitro, and such...

With the little bit of cash I make from balls, fills, and such

I don't charge alot of money because I want the people to be able to play for cheap. So I dont make a HUGE profit, but it works

[paintballer42o]

Caleb how did you get the money to start the field?

[something nasty]

You also need to think about poles, netting, compressors, mega boosters, etc.

Two 5-man Sup' Air fields are going to run you around $6500, a radar chrono is going to be around $200, and rentals will probably run around $2500 for 20 setups. I don't have prices off the top of my head for the other stuff, so you'll have to lookit up yourself. But I am guessing around $20,000 for your field. Of course, you don't have to start this big. You can always start with one sup' air field and a barrels field or something like that.

[tippycustom]

just go on froogle, and ebay wholesale and find some stuff, ive seen 50 markers there go cheap.

A little something called, "getting a job"

[paintballer42o]

Haha, well...how long did it take you to get the money?

About 6 months

But basically all I got at that time was some netting, 8 rentals with co2, masks, and hoppers. Fill stations and such

We built all our bunkers at first. My one friend helped out a GREAT deal for free, so that was very helpful

I just came across National Paintball Supply. They seem to have packages for prospective field owners. The site is http://www.nationalpaintball.com/html/index2.asp.

If you want to go the legal route, does anyone know what permits and insurance would run for a smaller sized field?

Thanks,
Eric
