Cousins Paintball

Great fun with a large group of friends who make good target practice.
Experience:
I have been to multiple locations for Cousins Paintball and this was the location I most recently visited.
We had a great time since the weather wasn’t too hot. We sweated a great amount since it rained the night before, but I’ve played in a downpour before, so this was nothing.
If you are willing to shell out an extra $ 30 buy yourself a new paintball mask from the store because the majority of the rentals have a sweaty funk to them and a few are scratched making them difficult to see out of. If you are planning on going to paintball again, it is an investment that will be useful in the long run.
Rent the protective chest armor as the paintballs smart if they hit you in the chest. I left with 16 welts after my last excursion because I was blindly aggressive in the majority of the games.
If you reserved and the weather is terrible the paintball fields WILL be open, so make sure to plan accordingly and tell all people joining you that they will have to play rain or shine (or sleet). The only times they will close is if the weather is dangerous in any manner.
The rental guns are decent quality. You will need refills after 500 shots (which lasts a while). They are a bit on the heavy side because of the air canisters. The accuracy is decent at best, but if you learn their normal trajectories you can quickly fix the accuracy problem. I don’t recommend buying a paintball gun as they usually range over the $ 200 mark, but if you are planning on going multiple times in the future, just like the mask, it is a smart investment.
Service:
The referees (employees) are very knowledgeable (I would hope they are) and helpful to the new players (N00bs) and made the experienced players listen in. This is to make sure all rules are followed.
They don’t interfere in any match unless rules are being broken, which usually are:
1) People shooting guns when they were told to stop
2) People removing facemasks at any point in time. — - — This is an extremely important rule as you can lose an eye.
Safety First!
Recommendations:
My main recommendation is to gather a group of people who aren’t lazy and willing to put in the effort to make every minute worth it.
We lost over 1.5 hours waiting for pizza to arrive because people were too lazy to go back out onto the fields while we waited for our food to arrive. That is 1 – 2 games we lost because people got lazy, that and our food took a while to arrive.
If you have to bring along the «lazy» people make sure they don’t slow you down. If they want to take a break, let them. Go ahead and go onto the fields with the remainder of your group.
Overall Recommendations:
1) Bring people willing to play a lot of games
2) Don’t spray and pray as ammo is very expensive. Be smart about your ammo usage.
3) Bring sunscreen is you are playing in an open (non-​forest area)
4) Bring bug spray (mosquitos and ticks are plentiful during certain seasons)
5) Be Safe
6) Have Fun
7) Shoot your friends as revenge for something they don’t remember doing to you 15 years ago!
8) If the teams are uneven, adjust them so they are fairer.
Overall:
It is a fun experience and the majority of your group will enjoy themselves.
It isn’t the cheapest thing to do, but the $ 50-​$ 80 you will likely invest (for a full day) is well worth the price. Private groups are more expensive than the public groups, but playing with your friends (when you first try paintballing) is much more fun and you will likely face people more on your level.
