Do People Still Play Paintball?

[Myrkul]

I still play a fair amount, probably twice a month or so when the weather is good, once a month when it's not. Kids definitely slowed me down, there was a time when I was making it out every weekend. I've never really been into scenarios, and air ball is still feels pretty alien to me, but I have attempted a few tournaments. I just show up when I can and work with whatever rec crowd is there. I mix up my gear a lot to try and keep things balanced. I pretty regularly switch between old electros, mech semis, and pumps depending on the crowd. I can't remember the last time I only used one gun for a full day. It keeps things fresh and balanced, and more importantly for me let's me know what gun needs improvement and where, so I have constant projects to tinker with. I definitely end up spending way more time tinkering then I do playing, but the playing is important since it gives the tinkering some direction.

I play about 2-4 days a year. Like many others, I've seen the crowds diminish at the local field, a couple fields close up, and the remaining one is all that's left. The game is still fun for me but I think most of the fun for me personally is the gun collecting/building. I'm sure that's a common theme on this forum lol.

I try to get out at least once a month. I've still got 5 fields within an hour drive. The closest one (25 mins) is where I usually play and the walk on crowd is usually pretty good 30-60 paintballers on average I'd say. I started doing scenario games 2 years ago and try to do 2 a year schedule providing.
