Minnesota Paintball

[Darrin]

A simple question ??

How many people do you think play paintball in Minnesota every year?

[MondoMor]

10,000, statewide, including those guys that play outlaw ball once a year.

Minnesota: Land O' 10,000 Ballers!

Paintball in Minnesota can grow by the players that do play, by helping those that have played once or twice or have never played get back or into the Game. I know all of us addicts have a extra gun or two, and by lending it out to someone who shows an interest in playing a Game, will maybe bring another to pick up the Sport. Now I know I'm not the only one who talks Paintball 24/7, but I have been known to have brought a few people into the Game. I've seen 'em come and go, I've seen 'em talk the talk and never set foot into a Game. But I myself will not give up, in fact last night I challenged to Big White-Tail Hunters in their mid-20's I guess, to a Challenge, I bet them if they could Hunt me down and Tag Me, I would buy them Dinner where ever they'd like. But if I could Hunt them down and Tag them both, they'd have to join me in a Giant-Game. (my Moneys on, there'll be two more joining me at the GG).:D
So my answer to the question, even though more than a word or two is, there'll never be enough because the more the merrier./AKA

Fixed. :)

Yes, I know I've spent way too much money...


I would be all for bringing in new people to our sport. My only problem? Pretty much every local person I know (thus those who could conceivably come out to the field and try the sport) can already be found at the field without any motivation from me.

Thanks for the Fix, it does work better that way. I'm always bringing four or five guns to the Games and somehow they always seem to get used.:D

I guess ever since I've started playing I've been recruiting players, I'll never quit either, even when I retire from playing, theres nothing like seeing a 30-40 year old sports nut that has never played the Game, come back from the field his first time out, in a Giant-Game. (Priceless)./AKA

I typically have from 25-40 every other weekend at the park where i organize games. there are between 60 and 80 that i know of within a 30 minute drive of me. it is definitely growing though, when i first moved back to MN 6 yrs ago, i struggled to find more than 8.
