Paintball is an exhilarating adrenaline powered battle game of strategy, skill and teamwork. It came into existence decades ago right in the vast forests of North America. Woodchoppers began marking trees that had been cut down and marked guns with paintball pellets. These woodchoppers soon become conscious of the fact that it was a lot more fun to shoot at each other and this is how the game of paint ball came to life.

This sport has now become a prodigious leisure industry and a well-liked and well-known, recreational activity for both males and females of all ages. In the present-day paintball markers come in high tech semi-automatic rifles which fire environmentally-friendly paint filled balls quite accurately to a range of 100 feet.
