Paintball Books
There are a number of great resources for learning about the sport of paintball. While the best resources for knowledge for learning the game will always be practicing and playing, there are other ways to pick up some helpful tips and tricks. The first way to pick up tricks is to talk to the veteran players around you. As questions whenever you can, and find out what techniques they use to have success in tournaments and professional games. Try to keep an open mind, and always listen to new advice, there is always someone who knows more than you. If the weather is inclement, or you do not have time to make it to the field, there are lots of great print and electronic resources out there. O n the web, sites like thepn.com give players advice on upgrading their paintball marker, and how to assemble a competitive tournament team. Paintball sites from the web may give you a lot more information about certain types of games than you may find at the local field.
