FAQ

Low impact paintball is identical to the old standard 68cal paintball except that the paintball itself is smaller and therefore has less impact energy while traveling at the same speeds. 

If you would prefer to play with higher-impact 68cal equipment, please give us a call at 1-866-421-PLAY and we can make this change for you at no cost.

Private Groups can play separate games from the rest of the open play / public groups. For instance, if you have a 10-person private group – you could play 5 v 5 games with only your group.

Public groups at Paintball Central are different than many paintball fields in the county. Unless you request otherwise, your public group will be using Low-Impact rental equipment. Therefore, our entire open/public playgroup will be new players who are also renting low-impact equipment.

Experienced players typically own their own “high-impact” (68cal) equipment and will be playing in another separate group with other “high-impact” players.

Whichever way you choose to play, Paintball Central referees will be on the field ensuring the games are safe, fair, and fun!

Paintball is played year around on our outdoor playing fields. Paintball is a game played between two opposing teams who are trying to capture each other's flag and return it to the flag station. The only catch to all this is, you have to do this without getting zapped by a paintball. Of course, you DO get to shoot back with your paintball marker. Once you have been zapped you are out for that game. Do not be concerned because games last anywhere from 3-10 minutes depending on the format of the game and the number of players on the field.

Move around while keeping your eyes open is the best tip for playing paintball. Many players make a great play and then quickly get eliminated because they were not looking around. Be alert and never focus too much on one thing. Don't keep zipping paintballs at the same guy behind the bunker or tree over and over again. Move on and surprise him from the side or another angle. Most importantly, be honest, if you get hit and see the splat on you, please raise your hand and exit the game. There is always another game to redeem yourself.
