How
much will it cost ?
That depends on how trigger happy you are ! if you are conservative
with your ammo the cost will be minimal, if you shoot every leaf
that moves your day will cost you a lot more ! For Parents peace
of mind, an ammo limit can be set for our younger guests !
Is there an average cost ?
In our experience, as a rough guide only, most customers use 150
to 300 paintballs in a half day session, or 200 to 450 in a full
days play. A small percentage use less and the occasional “Rambo”
uses more !
What about young players ?
We have an increasing number of junior players taking part. Our
safety record is such that paintball is now much more acceptable
to both parents and youth organisations alike. Our minimum age requirement
is 12 years of age.
Is it dangerous ?
A representative medical board in America compared the injury statistics
of a number of sports. They concluded that you were more likely
to become a casualty from a round of golf than from a day paintballing
! Provided you follow the basic safety rules that our staff strictly
enforce during your visit, the worse you can expect is aching muscles
and the odd bump or bruise.
Does it hurt ?
It hurts enough not to want to get shot ! But not enough to stop
our customers returning again and again !
How many games will I play ?
During a full day you will play 12 to 16 games and on a half day
between 6 and 8 games. So if you’re “shot” its
not the end of your day – within a few minutes you’ll
be back in the next game.
What do I need to bring ?
Strong boots or shoes are a must. Preferably with ankle support
and plenty of tread. Bearing in mind the English weather ! And the
fact you’ll be running around a woodland, the most likely
cause of any injury is unsuitable footwear. Gloves and a hat are
an option. Camo coveralls are provided but wear loose fitting, old
clothing underneath.
Is the day affected by the weather ?
Weather conditions do not affect us in the slightest. Some guests
prefer paintballing in the wet and mud, others like it sunny and
dry. Whatever the weather you’ll hardly notice with the excitement
and adrenaline !
Do I need to be experienced to play at Hamburger Hill ?
No. The majority of our customers have never played the game before
– so you’ll soon find you’re not alone in getting
to grips with the game. Our experienced marshals are always on hand
to advise and point players in the right direction.
