There are no wrong or silly questions that you can ask us here at CS Paintball. We want to provide as much knowledge and education about the sport in order for you to enjoy this awesome paintball experience that you are about to be a part of. Please read through our paintball FAQ. If you do not see the answer to the question you are looking for, please send us an email or give us a call. We are always willing to help!
The sting of the paintball hit is what makes this game unique. The thrill of running and jumping, dodging the paintball goes right back to your childhood and the competition of trying to make the point to win the overall game just adds to the rush. So although getting "marked" by a paintball might sting a little, the sensation is similar to getting popped with a towel and will usually go away in a couple seconds. Regular paintball equipment uses .68 caliber paintballs that has been the standard size paintball since the early 1980's.
Each child is required to have a waiver signed by a chaperone or guardian prior to playing.
Waivers are included in the email confirmation you will receive once your party has been booked and confirmed. You can email the waiver to guests that will be playing so that they can have signed and ready upon arrival to the park.
Waivers are available at the park and can be filled out on site by either a parent or the party mom/dad whom would be acting as a guardian while at the party.
The paintballs are a mixture of food coloring and food grade oil/PEG. Marked clothings will wash out with your normal laundry. You need to make sure you wear long pants, like jeans, something that you don't mind getting dirty. The dirt from jumping into fox holes and rolling around in the leaves will create more stains than the paintballs ever will. Remember, you are in the woods and bugs and sticks are still around. Long sleeve shirts are highly recommended, even in the summer time. As for footwear, be sure to wear something comfortable and closed toe. Again, something you don't mind getting dirty. We provide everything else that is needed for you to enjoy a fun filled day of paintball.
Insurance companies allow us to leave it up to the parent to determine if their particular child is mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come along with playing paintball. Here are a few questions to ask yourself if your child is ready or not:
Usually, if the child is active with any type of outdoor sports, they will be fine with paintball. For kids under 12, we recommend our private party to insure that it is just your group shooting with each other and no worries of other experienced players using your child for target practice. Usually, after a couple of hours of private play, even the youngest of players are ready for more competition.
CS Paintball is a FIELD PAINT ONLY park. We want to ensure that all players are using quality ecofriendly, non-staining and non-hazardous paint.
A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule, with colored liquid inside of it. Paintballs are similar to large round vitamin capsules or a bath oil bead. The fill inside paintballs is non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluble and biodegradable. It rinses out of clothing and off skin with mild soap and water. Paintballs are even edible, although we don't recommend it!

During the summer months always carry bug spray and sunscreen. Application of bug spray should be done before you play and will keep the pests off you while on our many courses. Avoid using bug spray near your goggles. It will damage goggle lenses and other plastic equipment. In the winter lip-balm and good warm gloves are a must. Remember, we are outdoors so dress for it.
The most important safety precaution in the sport of paintball is the full face goggles. We require all participants to wear full-face mask system with ear protection. All visitors to CS Paintball are given a safety briefing every time they visit our park. This briefing explains the important safety rules at the park, along with how to properly use the equipment and play the game. Markers are chronographed with periodic checks throughout the day. This allows us to make sure no guests are exceeding the maximum velocity of 280 fps (feet per second).
Paintballs are made of a gelatin shell, the same material that a Tylenol capsule is made of. Our field paint have a fill of food grade oil/PEG and food coloring. Our paintballs will not stain your clothes, they are composed of a water-soluble fill. One of the main reasons we insist on our Field Paint only policy and that you have to buy our paintballs is so that a staining paintball cannot be brought in and used without our knowledge.
We offer Planet Eclipse EMEK as our basic rental marker. These guns are good for 3-4 balls per second with a accuracy range of approximately 100 feet. We also provide a full face goggle, 200 round loader, a 48 ci compressed air tank that is good for 500 shots before you have to refill and a barrel sleeve for safety.
Yes, but we will inspect your equipment to make sure it meets our safety standards. All goggles must be full-face masks and be unaltered. There can be no cracks in the lenses at all. Paintball markers must be semi-automatic with a trigger guard. If there is a question on if your marker can be used here, a staff member will make it. The decision of our staff is final. Barrel sleeves are required on all paintball markers. All CO2 or High Pressure tanks must be in test date. High-pressure fiber wrap tanks may not have any cracks or fraying and can't have any stickers, decals or other coverings on them.
Maximum velocity is 280 fps. Rate of fire capped at 10.2 bps.
You want to dress according to the season. Long pants are long sleeve shirts are always recommended, if nothing but to provide a barrier between the paintball and your skin should you get hit. Do not worry about the paint itself, it washes out with water. The dirt and clay from the fox holes and trenches will cause more damage to your clothing and footwear. So dress appropriately. Summer time warrants light colored clothes so as to not attract any more heat than what is already obvious. Winter time justifies a sweat shirt or hoody, so not only will it keep you warm, but also provide plenty of padding. Don't go too crazy on the clothing. If you have too many layers, you will not be able to run around, crawl and jump in those fox holes. You will mimic the pillsbury doughboy and just be an easy target that cannot get out of the way.
If you brought someone else's child to the park and are acting as chaperone/guardian, you may complete the waiver for said child. You will be signing as the guardian. Every player must complete and sign an electronic waiver upon arrival to the park. If under 18, a parent or guardian must complete and sign a digital waiver for the player.
