well I personally don't feel that way most of the time my welts just hurt :) but I usually just use some epson salt and lounge in a steaming hot tub...

Lounge in a bath tub? You use bath oils too sissy? Heh, jk man :) If it's really that big an issue, try stretching before goin out. Personally, I dont because I'm not usually stiff the next day, but I know alot of people who stretch before playing and they've said it makes a world of difference the next day, they dont even get sore anymore

Nothing even close to that ever happens to me. I am sore the next day like after playing any sport but nothing more than that.

You are sore because you used muscles that aren't normally exposed to such strain in our moderized, sissified lifestyles. The more you play, the less you'll hurt. I promise. It's just like any other sport and takes a certain amount of getting in shape. I am a jogger and can certainly say that the first few times doing over 3 miles are very strenuous. Just imagine how many miles you run in a full day of Paintball!!! Try to exercise on a regular basis and those aches and pains will become non-existant after playing. Counterfeit says that he doesn't get sore. That's probably because he's doing the law enforcement thing. Playing "cops and robbers" requires some pretty heavy training, from what I hear from my friends.
