if you open'd a re ball site that would bring in the money

and sup air site would bring in the money really , more if it was on turf
sorry but thats rubbish, fireball was a lovely indoor reball centre in bradford, so fairly central location, a few people used it for the first few months then noone ever went down again. Reaper paintball has been open in halifax for a few months and apart from us only 2 or 3 people have ever been down, lovely grassy sup'air field with staging, clean air to 4500psi, everything you could want.
if you want to make money in paintball you gotta either play for the very top pro teams (even then i doubt it pays very well) or run a punter site.

Oh lord...

Before you look at finding a suitable location,
purchasing or most probably renting the said location,
Pricing and purchasing equipment,
Designing a solid plan,
Writing a solid business plan based on the solid plan,
Looking at the market,
Looking at competition,
Running through cashflows,
Looking at profit/loss,
Setting up business account,
Registering with HMR,
Purchasing Insurance/ liability,
Contacting dealers and manufacturers,
Setting up trade accounts,
Stocking up,
Initiating a rewarding advertising campaign,
worrying about actually getting customers in to cover your overheads...

Ask yourself:
1) Is it worth it just to get cheap paintball gear?
2) More importantly am I about to invest a lot of time and money that I will never see again? ;)
3) And finally, am I the type of person who can make that work (a passion for something isnt always enough, business and hobbies rarely come hand in hand)

Think about it. Good luck if the answer is yes.

Sup air sites do have money in them if you have full set up fields... like mellinium fields and proper netted off area, staging etc etc and if its properlu advertised and set up for regular events...

Sorry that sweeping statement is ridiculous to say the least..

There are waaaay to many factors involved .(as already suggested) lack of customers being the main one.
