Why paintball

A date you'll actually remember

Dating? Paintball is a great way to learn about your boyfriend or girlfriend. You can see how they react to the outdoors, how they solve problems, and how aggressive they might be.

Married? By planning and carrying out game plans, you can strengthen your communication and just enjoy working together towards a common goal.

  • Play on the same team, or settle things one on one
  • Bring another couple or two and play couples against couples
  • Free fields a few minutes outside town

Common worries

What your date is going to ask

"My boyfriend will shoot me."

You can be on the same team as your boyfriend. In that way, you'll get to work together, build communication lines, AND have fun. There is also the chance that you may WANT to be against him so YOU can shoot HIM!

"Doesn't that hurt!?"

Getting shot with a paintball can hurt a little, how much depends on the person. It's about the same as getting pinched. A hoodie or canvas jacket takes a lot of the sting out. And the more you get into the game and the adrenaline gets pumping, the less you notice it.

"Paintball is a guy sport."

True, the majority of paintballers are guys. However, at Splatter Gulch Paintball in Dillon, MT, about 60% of the customers were girls, including groups from LDS Relief Society and Young Women's. Between 30-40% of Xtreme Outdoor customers are girls. Girls can actually be quite ruthless.

"Does paintball wash out?"

A lot of paint does wash out, a lot does not. Actually, nature can be more of a worry to your clothing than the paintballs. Just wear some grubby clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

Questions

Before you book

Does it hurt?

A hit stings for a second and can leave a small welt. Long sleeves, a hoodie or one of our camo jackets takes most of the sting out. Masks stay on the whole time anyone is on the field.

Is it safe?

Masks stay on the whole time anyone is on the field. When an attendant runs the game, every gun is speed-tested first and someone is refereeing the whole time.

What do we need to sign?

Every player signs a waiver, and a parent or guardian signs for anyone under 18. One adult signs the rental. Send everyone the online waiver ahead of time so nobody waits at pickup.

How long can we keep it?

Rentals are good for two days. Pick up on Friday and bring it back Monday at no extra charge.

Where do we play?

There are free paintball spots all around Rexburg. Browse them here, or ask and we'll point you to one that fits your group.

Ask them out. We'll handle the gear.

Text or call with the day you want to play, or book online. Pick up the gear in Rexburg and keep it two days.
