Most games are capture the flag type games, with players
being eliminated when hit by a paintball. We give groups suggestions
and guidance.
Do paintballs really have paint in them?
No! A paintball is a round thin-skinned gelatin capsule, very similar
to a large vitamin E capsule. Paintballs are filled with a non-caustic,
water-soluble, biodegradeable liquid in different colors.
Paintball is an outdoor/indoor participation sport. It is a combination
of childhood "hide & seek" and "tag", but
more sophisticated and challenging.A group of paintball players usually
divide into two equal teams, varying in size from four or five to
as many as several hundred on a side. The object of the game is to
go out and capture a flag, you also try to eliminate opposing players
by tagging them with a paintball expelled from a special paintball
gun.A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule, very similar
to a large vitamin E capsule or a bath oil bead. Paintballs are filled
with a non-caustic, water-soluble, biodegradeable liquid. They come
in a rainbow of colors: blue, pink, white, red, orange, yellow, and
other bright colors. When a paintball tags a player, the thin gelatin
skin splits and the liquid inside leaves a "paint" mark
on the player's clothes to signify his or her elimination. A paintball
gun uses carbon dioxide (Co2) to propel the paintball.For safety,
paintball players must always wear approved goggles to protect their
eyes and face during a game. As long as the goggles are worn, paintball
is a very safe sport, insurance statistics indicated that paintball
is safer than golf, tennis, swimming, and many other sports.Referees
on the field start and stop games, enforce the rules of play and control
the sport's safety.Paintball is a sport played by people from all
professions and life-styles. It is a sport where women stand on an
equal footing with men. Physical size and strength do not create a
star; rather, it is one's ability to think (like Chess) that helps
make a star. Paintball is a character-building sport. Players learn
the importance of teamwork, and gain self-confidence while developing
leadership abilities.

Who plays the game and Why?
Women (watch out for them, they are fiercer than
anyone), corporations, bachelor/birthday parties, students (10
yrs. and older), churches, youth groups, in fact anyone who wants
to have fun is a candidate. Paintball has many positive attributes,
for example, It doesnt require any previous experience, skill
or physical conditioning to play and, ITS A LOT OF FUN! Many corporations
use Team Building exercises for their employees to help with productivity.
Paintball is one of the best team building activities out there; it
is by far the most remembered, fun, time efficient and economical of
any other activity around. It aids in: release of tension & stress,
helps form a common bond of sharing, teaches goal setting, teamwork,
leadership skills, encourages communication, etc. The benefits are numerous!
We have a standing invitation to anyone who would like to see us in
action first hand - for free. (Our bet is youll want to join
the fun!) Reservations are recommended.
Expect to have fun! No experience is necessary. At Tiger
Stripe Paintball., special attention is given to beginner players. Upon
arriving you will be greeted by our friendly staff, handed waivers to
fill out, be given a full orientation on equipment, safety, game rules,
and strategy; issued all of the necessary equipment required to play,
be assembled into balanced teams based on skill level, (i.e. beginners
vs. beginners), go to the target range to try out the equipment,
trained Marshals will take you to the fields where you will play a series
of games lasting 5-20 minutes each, with breaks in between, we try to
allow players who want to play together to do so. People typically use
the breaks for getting drinks, catching their breath, telling war stories,
buying more paintballs (shameless plug!), getting cleaned up,
and getting ready for the next game.
We Play Paintball, Of Course! We play rain or shine.
Its a lot of fun to play in the rain! Its cooler, and definitely
more challenging. (Shoes with good traction are critical when the field
is wet). We have covered awnings so that you can stay dry in our picnic
area when you are not playing, as well as heaters to keep you warm.
We close only if the weather is extremely bad. Please call the field
the morning of game day if you want to be sure that we are playing.
We only closed 3 days during El Nino and that was because there were
less than 20 people, not because of the weather.
A Rain Tip: Bring a plastic garbage bag up with
holes for your head and arms, perfect rain gear, cheap and less obvious
in the woods than a yellow slicker!!!!
SHOES THAT PROVIDE GOOD ANKLE SUPPORT and PROTECTION!
Hiking Boots are ideal, High Tops are also good.
CAMOUFLAGE IS IMPORTANT! Clothing should be earth tones
(brown, gray, green, dark blue). For maximum comfort and "invisibility",
the camouflage outfits that can be rented at Tiger Stripe Paintball.
provide the most effective outer layer! LAYERING is the key to protection
and comfort. Several light layers are preferable to one or two heavy
layers. Layering provides better absorption of the impact of the paintballs
and allows for adjusting your comfort level due to the temperature (Heat
exhaustion is BAD!!!) and activity. Wear loose layers of fabric
that "breathe". Avoid heavy, waterproof or tight clothes.
EVERY PART OF YOUR BODY SHOULD BE COVERED. You can count on being hit
on the only uncovered square inch you expose. Being hit on bare skin
hurts, and although it does not do permanent damage; a slight bruise
or welt may appear, depending on skin your type and at what range you
are hit. Bring a muffler or a scarf for your neck, turtlenecks also
work well.
Bring a hat that covers your ears, knit ski caps work
well. GLOVES are recommended, gardening gloves work well, but any gloves
are ok. Cutting off the glove fingertips is ideal. Bulky ski gloves
do not work well. Tiger Stripe Paintball. also rents gloves at the field
(for a modest fee, another shameless plug!). Youll be running
up and down hills, diving into twigs and brush, crawling on your belly
like a lizard, jumping into gullies, rolling down hills, and falling
to your knees (or stomach) many times during the day; any special
protection will help. Elbow and kneepads are excellent. Bring more than
you think youll need. Extra equipment can be shared with your
comrades. Remember, the life they save may be yours!
*FACE SHIELDS & GOGGLES SPECIFICALLY ENGINEERED
FOR PAINTBALL WILL IS PROVIDED. (Most glasses can be worn underneath.)
*NOTE: Contacts are recommended because goggles will
fog up.
*A Rain Tip: Bring a plastic garbage bag up with holes
for your head and arms, perfect rain gear, cheap and less obvious in
the woods than a yellow slicker!!!!

are in the height of the playing season, walk-ons are always welcome.
Private games are available during the week, and of course advanced
notice is required. We play all year, even if it rains.
The balls impact is more startling than anything.
The best description is a sharp shock, like the quick snap of a rubber
band. Here at Tiger Stripe Paintball, we have taken every precaution
possible for your protection. We calibrate every gun to shoot below
the industry standard before every game. We offer more protection than
anyone! All of our safety gear is top of the line and maintained at
the highest standards possible to assure your safety. You can do your
