THE GAME OF PAINTBALL

What is paintball?

Paintball is more closely related to tag and dodge ball than to any other sport or activity. Paintball games last 10-20 minutes and have set objectives ranging from capture the flag to elimination of the other team (like in dodge ball). In all paintball games, a player is eliminated when they are “marked” by a paintball.

What is a paintball?

A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule with colored liquid inside it. Paintballs are similar to large round vitamin capsules or bath oil beads. The fill inside paintballs is non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluble and biodegradable. It rinses out of clothing and off skin with mild soap and water.

What should I wear?

We suggest you wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing that cover as much exposed skin as possible. Hooded sweatshirts, sweat pants, and good running shoes with ankle support are suggested. Bethel Battlefield has a retail store where you can purchase paintball apparel including disposable jump suits.

What extra things should I bring?

During the summer months always carry bug spray and sunscreen. Application of bug spray should be done before you play and will keep the pests off you while on our many courses. Avoid using bug spray near your goggles. It will damage goggle lenses and other plastic equipment. In the winter lip-balm and good warm gloves are a must. Remember, we are outdoors so dress for it.

Does getting shot with a paintball hurt?

The sting of the paintball is part of the mystique of the game.  So, while getting “marked” by a paintball might sting a little, the sensation is similar to getting snapped by a rubber band and will usually go away in a couple seconds.

SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT

What kind of safety precautions do you take?

The most important safety precaution in the sport of paintball is the full face goggles. We require all participants to wear full-face mask system with ear protection. All visitors to Bethel Battlefield are also given a safety briefing every time they visit park. This briefing explains the important safety rules at the park, along with how to properly use the equipment and play the game. We also require guests to chronograph their markers before each game. This allows us to make sure no guests are exceeding the maximum velocity of 285 fps (feet per second) or are in full auto or burst mode.

How old do you have to be to play paintball?

You must be at least 10 years old to play paintball. Anyone under 18 must have an Underage Waiver signed by their parent or guardian to participate.

Can I bring and use my own equipment?

Yes, but we will inspect your equipment to make sure it meets our safety standards.

• All goggles must be full-face masks and be unaltered. There can be no cracks in the lenses at all.
• Paintball markers must be semi-automatic with a trigger guard. We do not allow full auto, double fire trigger systems, markers with ramping mode enabled, or burst mode. Any markers with full auto capability must be able to lock it down and not have the ability to quickly switch to full auto while on the field. If there is a question on if your marker can be used here, a Bethel Battlefield staff member will make it. The decisions of Bethel Battlefield staff members are final.
• Barrel socks are required on all paintball markers.
• All CO2 or High Pressure tanks must be in test date. High-pressure fiber wrap tanks may not have any cracks or fraying and can’t have any stickers, decals or other coverings on them.
• We do not allow silencers, hot burning smoke or multiple paintball launchers.
• Maximum velocity is 285 Feet Per Second (fps).

Did you know...

that most people who participate at our facility are beginners.  95% of our customer base does not even bring their own equipment.  So, you will NOT be playing against “professionals” that you see on DVDs and Television.  Instead you will play against other people who are just trying to have fun while enjoying the outdoors.
