I had alot of fun and didnt exspect it to be as great as it was for a first time. I live in washington dc so my only problem with it was the fact I had a long drive out there.
But let me run it down for you....
I arrive about 5-10mins. after everyone shows for the first game. its around 12 I believe and we actually was headed to the one called Pev but seen this one and desided to check it out. turned out to be a great "find. so anyways....i walk up to the reception booth and listen to the owner speak of the rules and such. I thought I better listen close, dont wanna end the day with a busted lip from mask removal or do something dumb to harm myself or anyone else.
The guy(forgot his name) explained the rules and such, and sent the refs. and the players off to the first field. He askes how can he help me and I explain im a n00b and I would like to partake in my first ever paintballing experience. so he gives me the fee-waver papers and I sign them. then he askes me what type of play do I need. I explained I have no equip. so he issues me out the rental gear which surprisingly was in good-shape.
I was thinking it maybe be some hand-me-down some dogg crapped on the mask thats why its stained type of stuff but no, they kept it in great condition. so I pay my money $35 for rental and play fees, and and extra $20 for 500 extra balls. I run off to the car change into my play clothing and came back. He rushed me off with another ref. to the field I got there about 5mins. before the end round. the refs were pretty kool. and the players were very kool as well.
The seemed to take my lack of experience/n00byness with a grain of sand. they explained to me that if I dropped my balls dont put 'em in my hopper for it might chop ya shots. because I dropped like 20-30 balls and Im looking extra n00bish picking em up. lol :laugh: So I join the red-squad and we go down to the opposide end of the field I entered to begain the next round.
The ref. calls out maskes on barrel plugs out ...3,2,1 and the action starts. at an instance everyone darts of behind trees, mounts, and semi contructed club-house(as I call em). So I knew the only thing I had to do was not shoot the refs. or my team. lol So I shoot off about 5 shots, and start to look for any opposing team members. I see a couple members on both teams leave the field due to being hit. so I run up a little further and hide behind the second "club-house". So I see a player run behind a bunker... and prior to playing I read two magazines[Splat and PSI] and read about "Bunkering".
So I shout to my team mate on the right "Cover me im going for him" he responds ok, move NOW!!! so I run out jump over the bunker look to my left shooting like crazy and I see on my right out the corner of my eye the player.... Now I notice its a she(it was a player mom) and I whip around and pop her she pops back luckly i didnt get shruck. so she gets up and leaves. So I ran and laid low behind the bunker I just stood infront of shooting he, and what happens ??? Her team mate runs around and says "GIVE UP!!! GIVE UP!!!" I raise my marker and start to shoot but he just has a field day with me and now im out.
So I wait for the start of the new round, i chat with all the players in the dead field along with me and I begian to reload my hopper. I do so and we begain another round, I believe I was taken out quite early. So ater this round we left for lunch....but no one was really hungry just yet and we went to watch a pro team practice. well the whole team wasnt there...I dont think....it was only three guys.
So now were on the speedball field in the dead-zone just watching those three blast at each other. one gets a marker right in the face-mask but since it was just them practicing they didnt go by rules or anything. So then they finally run out of the balls that was in there harper and desided not to reload to allow us play. but one of the refs. had the stranges idea (I knew it was a bad idea because these guys had semi/fully auto mags while most of us had semi and rentals) ...he said "Why dont you guys battle them three" we look at each other and laugh and say yea, ok why not.
BAD IDEA, its about 6-7 of use agianst 3. we start out and 3 of us run behind the castle infront of us and the other spread out on the right. Off the bat a team-mate gets a head shot and is like "IM OUT IM OUT!!!" I say to myself "OOOO CRAP" lol. So Im ducking back and forth in and out between the barrel castle and I started shooting towards one of them but he had a fully auto and was just shooting back as soon as i peaked out. So all I hear as I hide behind the barrels is "GUYS ON THE LEFT...BLAM BLAM BLAM SMACK.... ONE GUY ON THE RIGHT..... SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK" I poke my head out and got a head shot, luckly not like my team mate but this one head the forhead of the mask and im out.
The round ends with the winning of our team lucky, but with only like 2 guys out of 7 left agianst one. So we start another round, same team size 7 on 3 opposite starting fields. so now we are like we gotta win this agian, our team spirit is up and we start off like soilders. I run towards the middle of the field behind another barrel castle and i slide and fall down before I reach it and all I hear is paintballs wizzing by as they aim at the falling target which was me. lo So I get up quick and dart behind the castle and my speed makes me slide into the barrels almost scrapping up mud. At least thats what I thought.
Im standing there behind the barrels, a team mate on the left is tryna get my attention and im not really paying attention cause im smelling something thats more than just mud and im like.... *sniff...Sniff....Sniff* O man, this has to be bull**** or horse**** and im like just standing there hoping not to stand in it and I get popped on the right and left side. lol
The last game I played was capture the flag omg this was fun. I bunkered another guy like right from above. then ran down a little further and took out one more guy....he was behind a bunker with one more team mate of his and I was like o yea, ima get him. he ran out of paint and his team mate was handing him his gun so Im thinking he doesnt have his finger on either of the triggers so I rush in like rambo and get totally demolished. he smacks me in the forearm and upper arm. I was like DAMN!!!! I was close.
All in all that was my first experience with paintball and I have to say I loved it alot!!!! kudos to VAG-Field nice set up and stuff.
