When is the right time to pack it in?

[gambo47]

I have to date sold all my kit twice in the last three years, then bought more kit as I missed balling yet again.... So this time I am keeping my just bought Ego 10, rotor, pack, airtank etc for as long as I can.... I'm 55 this year with an occasional dodgy back.... But just learn from me folks.... It's never a good time to sell up....
Once you have played and "walked on" it's kinda got you for life...

The only time anyone should give up paintball is when they are physically unable to play my hip is wearing away and i still play

 

[I used to good.Honest]

did the same 16 years ago, packed up and now started playing again. and the stuff I used back then costs thousands more now than it did when it was new, but the good thing is paint and entry fees are a lot cheaper now.

One of our team retired in Jan 2014 and he was 65. We still have a couple of players in their 50's and at the present time they have no desire to quit.

A recent podium finish in Rome for a dirty broke student says that's not true

Or your ex wife still plays

Broke as in skint? Or broke as in body? Either way thats why my pump is always in the van if I have to "pop" up my local site. I dont have to run with my pump its more walk and crawl, and I dont use that much paint so its always cheaper. If I feel flush my cockers or mags come out to play a bit.
I am starting to though, feel the legs ache and thighs burn the next day after a proper run out.
I just use the adage of "you are only as old as the woman you are feeling"

Also the welts seem to last longer and I seem to get more of them the older I get.

My local site doesn't have many places I can play behind from whilst standing.... Crouching is my problem but I will shoot till I'm shot.... Still some fun, especially if I get the odd lob or blind shot in....
