Pass The Brass

Finally got the chance to go paintballin’ this Saturday. I had been wanting to go for some time now and this time I actually got the chance to get out there and sling some paint at people.

One highlight of the day was walking away with only one welt….given to me by my own team. I think the lesson to be learned here is to verbally announce your team or something when retreating toward a friendly bunker so as not to be deemed a charging enemy guy so you don’t get blasted point blank soon as you near the bunker. Colored Arm Bands are only good for so much.

Other than that, it was freakin awesome. One large field and a seperate smaller “Speedball” course made up the playing grounds. The smaller course was made up entirely of short stacks of tires set in short wall lengths that you maneuver up towards the enemies side and just shoot everyone. I’ll just put it bluntly I absolutely suck at that game. I’m pretty much useless the entire time and then suddenly a paint round flies between a few stacks of tires and lands right between the eyes. But that was the better “death”….the worst one was when they flanked me and shot me right in me arse. That one stung for a quick second.

Overall though, it was a very fun filled day and I can’t say how much I thoroughly enjoyed just being able to get out and do something for a change. As sore as I am now, it was almost energizing just getting out and running round the woods shooting things. This will most definitely become a regular activity as much as I can. I love this game.
