Paintball Publicity Many paintball players and companies have long claimed that the way to grow paintball is to educate the public about it - to share the sport with non-players, clear up misconceptions and to encourage people to try it out. One paintball company has decided to put its money where its mouth is and actually spend something to spread the word.KEE Action Sports recently started a billboard campaign in New Jersey and California with a third to start soon in Dallas that offers new players free entry and free rental gear at a network of fields across the country. The idea is that curious potential paintballers will go to the website, sign up to play at a local field and then get hooked on the sport. Whether the plan actually works or not remains to be seen, but it's great to see a large paintball manufacturer put some money into trying to grow the sport.Paintball Publicity originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Friday, September 10th, 2010 at 09:21:46.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
Where Do You Buy Your Paint? Buying paintballs is the recurring cost of playing the sport that never seems to get easier. As much as I love paintball, laying down $40-$50 bucks for a case of paint never seems to get easier. Part of the pain, though, depends on where you buy the paint. Whether you buy your paint at a field, paintball store, big-box retailer or online, there are pros and cons of where you buy it. For example, even if Wal-Mart paint is typically low-quality, it's cheap and very accessible. Online stores typically have pretty good prices, but you have to pay for shipping and you can't pick up a case on the day of your game.I have bought paintballs from just about any store that sells them and I'll probably buy them from just about anyone again.
