I was just wondering what the average shots fired in one day is for you people. Your input greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Albert

Being my first game. I shot about 350 rounds (I played for about 2 1/2 hours).

:D

I have some RPS balls, bought 2000 for 70 bucks, wich is about 3.5 cents a ball.

So My frist game, i spent about 12.50 on balls alone. and 5 dollars to refill my tank. So 17 bucks.... THATS ALOT OF MONEY!! :pissed:

i usually shoot at leasts half a case for the day, i play about 5-6 hours usually. this past time that i went i had to waste the last of my paint (about 400 rounds) at the chrono station, it was fun though :D

500 rds, about 2-3 hours a day.

case of premiums = $90, i cant afford to use anymore paint than that.

Im a recreational player... I wanted to get some cheap balls, maybe like 30 bucks for a case... Am I only dreaming, or can I find some that cheap?

One day i played a full day of speed ball practicing for CalJam with my team and I wasted 2 cases of 2000 balls hehehe but I buy house paint and with a freak shoots just as good as most paint out there plus it only cast me 30 bucks a case

anywhere between 1000 and 2000, at $47 a case, it's pretty good, shoots straight.
i play speedball from 9:30 'til 4.

for me, using 1000 is way too much.... ima a beginner... and for about 5 days of paintballing... its almost as much as my gun costs..

I use 1000-1500 paintballs in one day. I know someone who used 4500 once,:eek: but he's on the field's team and gets paint cheap.

Depends on were I go, if I go indoor than I use 500 because paint costs so much. If I go outdoor than I will probably get a whole case, because 1, it costs cheaper and 2, the outdoor field is so far out there that when I go it means my dad is probably gonna play too and he just buys a case of paint.

I usually buy 500 paintballs and then if I need more I grab a 200(I know in long run it's more expensive but I don't have like $26 dollars after buying my Co2). I play with a pump so I don't empty like 200 rounds in one game. I keep my "trusty" 45rd hopper(I know I hear laughter out there)

I have a game Saturday(22nd) at my friends house it's going to be 6 v. 6 for the most part & some other games so it'll rock

if i go around noon - 4 i use around 700. A full day robs me of a case.

i have been pretty happy witht he prices of my new field, last time i was there the were selling diablo recsport (diablo seconds) for $40 a case, i think that is a good price for FPO . . .

Cool.
The problem is the closest pd field around here is about 50 miles (Sacramento, CA). So we always end up having to buy balls at a local paintball store (really expensive). If anyone finds a good deal on paintballs online let me know!

Thanks,
Albert

In an 8 hour day I shoot just over 800. So I usually buy a half-case, and whatever's left over I use to shoot my pool shed when I get home.

I usually split a case with someone at the field for a full day. Sometimes we go 3 ways on it. I usually have some (very little) left over depending on how many people are at the field on that day. 10+ man teams and I'm usually buying more paint.
