HOW CAN YOU HELP GROW THE SPORT(S) YOU LOVE?

How to promote the game or Paintball or Airsoft to others!

You’ve played paintball and/or airsoft and you’ve fallen in love with the adrenaline rush or the teamwork involved in accomplishing the objective. You’ve purchased gear and you’ve met some great people you like to play with every weekend. What else can you do to make sure the sport(s) stick around and there is always a new player around?

Here’s a list of a few things you can do:

1. Always be helpful to the new players, help them out, give them tips. Make sure they are having a good time.

2. Support the venue(s) you play. Shop with them, if they don’t have an item you are looking for, ask. Buy their paintballs and BB’s. The places that care about paintball sell paintballs, BB’s and equipment from manufacturers with a vested interest in paintball at all levels.

3. Have a good attitude. Watch your language. Introduce yourself to new players. Be helpful to the staff.

4. Respect the venue. Keep it looking nice. Pick up after yourself. If you bring trash in, take it out. Don’t dump your paint and BB’s on the ground. Use the trash receptacles provided. Don’t leave trash on the field(s).

5. Use Social Media to help boost player turnout. If your favorite venue or team is playing at a certain place and they are posting about it, SHARE their posts. The more shares the more people will see what’s going on.

WHAT IS AIRSOFT?

By Admin • 22 May, 2018
Airsoft is a military simulation based game. Opponents use *Airsoft replicas to shoot plastic BB’s. Airsoft is similar to Paintball because it can be fast paced and requires being hit by a projectile. The difference is the BB’s do not splat on impact. BB’s are not filled with any substance that could mark the hit opponent. It is a game of honor. Players must call themselves out when hit. Airsoft games are also much more technical and most game play is scenario based. There is usually and objective or many objectives to complete a game. Games can last 5 minutes in CQB/Speedsoft or hours in scenario type games. *Airsoft replicas are made to look like real firearms and come in all types of formats from pistols and rifles to snipers. It is very important for parents to understand what their kids are getting into and to treat all equipment that expels a projectile as if it were a real firearm. The safety should be engaged, magazines should be out and breach clear when not in an active game. Barrel blocking devices are also required and must attach to the replica to prevent accidentally expelling a projectile. Full face masks are required during play. Eye protection must be rated for Paintball and Airsoft play and sealed to the face to prevent entry to the eye area.. Your nose, cheeks, mouth and ears must be covered by Airsoft approved mesh or mask or a baklava that cannot be removed during play.

CAMO CUPCAKES

White cake mix according to directions. Half of the white cake mix will be used for the green or pink. I used green since it was a boys birthday party. 10 drops of food coloring is enough. Use two of the egg yolks (leftover from the white cake mix) and one more whole egg for the chocolate cake mix. Save money and buy one chocolate frosting and two white frosting from the dollar store. They are smaller but it’s all you’ll need. 5 – 7 drops of food coloring for the green or pink. Use a frosting bag with the flower tip. Put all three colors in the bag next to each other so they all come out at the same time. This was a fun activity for myself and the kids. Let them be part of making their special day happen.

DOT VS. ISO

By Admin • 21 Mar, 2016
Compressed Air Tanks require certification in the United States and Europe. In the United States the DOT ( Department of Transportation ) enforce the standards set by CGA ( Compressed Gas Association ). In Europe the UN ( United Nations ) and EU ( European Union ) enforce the standards set by ISO ( International Standards Organization ). It is very expensive for manufacturers in paintball, or any industry that uses cylinders, to be part of ISO and CGA. This ensures safety standards for all when it comes to manufacture and use of cylinders. If you have a tank with an ISO number and you live and play paintball in the US you need to make sure your tank also has the UN symbol and the USA certification code stamped on your tank in conjunction with the ISO number. If your tank only has an ISO number it is NOT VALID for use in the United States. All of these tanks are still subject to Hydro Testing every 5 years and all tanks have a 15-year lifespan. Be aware of tanks made by Inocom, Luxfer and Carelton that require a 3-year hydro test and 15-year lifespan. Be an ambassador for our sport. Make sure your gear is compliant with United States Standards. Drop your tank at any Velocity Paintball location for hydrotest. Cost is $25. Out of state? No problem. E-mail denise@velocitypb.com a picture of your tank label to make sure your tank meets the requirements. Fill out the Services Form with Payment Info. Click the link below.
