Drive into the Paintball (lower) carpark then walk through to the Phoenix Paintball shed/assembly area. After checking in, and receiving your equipment and a safety briefing/site induction, you will be assigned to a team and taken to the first field. The last shots will be fired by 6pm, or when you have simple had enough. It's a good idea to bring a snack and drinks to refuel and reload during a break in between playing fields. Phoenis Paintball provides unlimited bottled water.Equipment and safety:
The markers and paintballs we supply are manufactured and maintained to precise standards. All privately owned equipment must be inspected and logged by staff. Please inform staff on booking if you are bringing privately owed markers.The markers are powered by a small tank of compressed gas and are pre-tested daily by chronograph to within the international safety limit of 300 feet per second.
The paintballs are non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluble and biodegradable and are designed to split open easily when they hit a target. Therefore old or poor quality, cheap paintballs are not allowable. For safety purpose only paintballs supplied by Phoenix Paintball are to be used on the field on the day of play.
We also supply you with personal protective equipment and a safety briefing in accordance with the Paintball Code of Practice. Protective equipment consist of a face mask and overalls for each player, a protective vest for women and the option for the guys to purchase a cricket box. Gloves and neck protectors are also available for a small cost.
Buffer Zones are areas where during running paintball activities no other activities will take place. There will be no pedestrian or vehicle traffic in those areas during paintball games. The only exception to that rule is if a staff member or authorized person needs to enter that area for safety reasons etc. If this needs to happen, the person entering the Buffer Zone, must use the appropriate safety equipment under the direction of our trained staff. The paintball playing areas and exclusion areas will be clearly defined by either boundary ropes, fences or netting. It is the job of our field staff to ensure that all players know where the playing boundaries and safe areas are, also that they must stay within those areas at the appropriate times. All people playing paintball must stay in the well defined playing areas. They can only leave these areas if they are not carrying a paintball marker or their paintball marker has the appropriate barrel blocking device fitted. All spectators and visitors to the site must stay in safety zones; if they need to enter playing areas they must use the appropriate safety equipment under the direction of our staff.
