If you're interested in setting up your own paintball field it's easier than you think. With a little planning, owning your own paintball field can be lucrative indeed.

First of all do your research for your own particular area. Find out what permits and insurance will be required. This will be your biggest hurdle in getting your business opened. Then, visit a number of professional paintball facilities and find what you like and don't like about them. Make notes about what is feasible financially for your own paintball field. Next, find a suitable place such as a huge old warehouse or open field area that can be fenced off and is not near anyplace where pedestrians or motorists will be. Put outside fine netting around your fenced area to catch any renegade paintballs and keep them as near into the playing field as possible. It's the same type of netting the driving ranges use to catch wayward golf balls and keep them from injuring people or causing damage.

You will need to be able to rent equipment. A great marker that is fantastic
for the rental market is the WSF Field Paintball Gun. This gun is lightweight and has few moving parts so you should be able to get a long life out this item.

Talk to an attorney and have some forms drawn up for anyone to sign that plays paintball at your field sign and attest to the fast that they will adhere to the safety rules and you are to be held harmless in the event of an accident. This is for your own protection. Above all, promote player safety. You can set up a bunker type field for people to use and as time goes by, learn the set ups for the tournament games and you can soon be hosting paintball tournament games at your facility.

If you're ready to have financial freedom and promote a sport you love, consider opening your own paintball field.
