Carnage Paintball has added a new forum. This forum is to help players of the teams and players of the field stay in touch with each other a lot easier and feel like you have a home to talk about what you need to talk about. Make sure to come sign up and join the fun.

Starting Feb 24th of 2008 we are proud to announce a "Mock" Scenario Sunday. Our players from the Atlanta Phoenix Tactical team as well as other players want to help our home field players enjoy the aspect of scenario play with out the pressure of travel and cost. We will be playing 30 minute to hour long scenario style games such as "Headquarters", "Search and Destroy", "V.I.P", "Terminator" and many others. This is NOT your normal 24 hour scenario. Teams are welcome to come join in the fun that day but we are very short or space and can not hold more than about 60 to 70 players total so if you are coming and would like to make sure there is room and or equipment drop us an email or a phone call. We look forward to seeing you soon for a Sunday full of fun.

GENERAL INFO:

Playing Paintball: You don't have to be an athlete to play paintball. All you need is a good attitude and the desire to go out there and have a great time. There are several variations of paintball, the most common being a high-tech form of capture the flag. There are two teams. Each team has a home base at opposite sides of the playing field where each team hangs their flag. The goal is to make it from your home base to your opponents, capture their flag, and return it to your home base. Of course, there is one small problem: the other team is going to do their best to shoot you and put you out of the game! Another type of game is called Elimination. This works just as it sounds. There are two teams put on separate sides of the field. When the game is started, they meet somewhere in the middle and, well, eliminate each other. Sound like fun? It is! Besides being fun, paintball is great exercise, a great stress reliever, and it promotes teamwork.

Paintball is Safe: Even more important than making sure you day is fun is making sure your day is safe. Safety is the number one concern on the field. First, all players are require to wear paintball approved protective gear, which includes a goggle system for eye and face protection. All players are instructed in the safe handling of their paintball gun and other equipment. Experienced referees and field staff are on hand at all times to ensure that each and every player is playing safely and by the rules. Statistically, paintball is ranked safer than Bowling by the National Safety Council. If that doesn’t make a believer out of you try a .31 per 1000 participants a yr. 93 people a year get hurt per 1000 at home.

What to Bring: Bring yourself, friends, family, and expectations of a fun filled day. You should wear old, loose-fitting clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. Try to wear something that will blend in with the woods; a white t-shirt definitely won't help you not get shot! We will provide you with all the equipment you need to play, including goggles, a paintball gun, CO2, paintballs, and instruction. When you get here, you and the other players will be separated into teams of equal ability. Then, after being given instruction on everything from rules to safety, you will be off to a great day of fun!
