Though if we all put as much effort into our game as we do into this forum there'd be some stiff competition for the big boys... lucky them

I think i know a place where you could find out yourselves who spends more time here than practicing
I think one of the problems with paintball and the transition to TV is the age group.
Average age of golfers, cricket etc is much higher, with other sports like football the ages can be very low (18/19) but people of all age groups will watch and enjoy, this years world cup must have had huge ratings.
With paintball the average age is alot lower with (i hazard an educated guess) most people being under 30 with a large preportion under 23, as said before the majority of 'civilians' would see paintball on TV and switch to the footy or eastenders, moronic i know but sadly true.

Iv had utterly stupid responses after being ast what i was doing on this day and saying or im going paintballin:
Id be mint at that i would shoot you straight away its not hard to shoot someone.
I wouldnt get shot id matrix every paintball coming
I bet it wrecks when it hits you
I showed someone a bruise off being bonus balled with a over limit marker and they said to me i bet that didnt even hurt-it was on my thigh with a black bruise the size of a golf ball. (the worst shot iv taken was one to the back of my head, just behind my ear just above my ear bit on mask from about 15 feet from my own team OWEN!!!! from SOB lol it was funny but i didnt half drop like a bag of S*** but it was ok it didnt splat it bounced so i played on lol-i had a golf ball sized lump for 6 days afterwards)
And that all i can think of atm
