Question 1

What is the minimum age requirement for paintball?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to play paintball in Tasmania is 16 years.

Question 2

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO I NEED IN MY GROUP TO MAKE A BOOKING?

Accepted Answer

We need at least 6 people to proceed with a session. 
 
If you have less than 6 people, including just yourself, you can still submit a booking enquiry through our booking software. If there is already more than 6 people, you can confirm immediately. If there is less than 6 people, your request will stay pending until the session has enough people.

Question 3

HOW LONG IS A SESSION?

Accepted Answer

2 to 2.5 hours
A 10.30am booking should finish around 12.30. 
Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes before your booking.

Question 4

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Accepted Answer

We provide full body overalls that go over any clothes you're wearing. So, we suggest shorts and a t-shirt are generally ideal to prevent yourself from overheating.
 
Definitely wear sturdy, fully enclosed footwear. Boots or sneakers are best! If it has been raining, wearing cleats is a good idea! (if you have them) 
 
Do not wear open shoes like thongs or sandals and don't wear heels. If you don't have appropriate footwear, you won't be able to play.

Question 5

DOES IT HURT?

Accepted Answer

It stings a little bit. It's not too bad though. 
The first time you get shot is always the worst!

Question 6

CAN I WEAR MY GLASSES & PLAY?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can (but they are likely to fog)
If you have particularly large glasses, the mask might squash your glasses into your face and become uncomfortable. 
If you have contacts, we recommend wearing them.

Question 7

DO YOU GET PAINTBALL BRUISES?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no. 
It depends on the person as to whether you'll get paintball bruises. 
Some people bruise easy, others don't.
To help minimise paintball bruises, we have a 5-metre minimum distance rule.

Question 14

Is it worth upgrading the paintball guns?

Accepted Answer

Our base model guns are great, but the upgraded ones offer better accuracy, ease, speed, and range. You'll use more paintballs with the upgrade, so be ready for the extra cost.

Question 15

WHAT ARE YOUR PAINTBALL RULES?

Accepted Answer

Our 3 golden rules of playing paintball are:
1. Wear your goggles
2. Keep your barrel bag on
3. Don't shoot someone any closer than 5 metres.

We certainly have a lot more rules around safety and then rules for each game, but those are the 3 must follow paintball rules.
