So much fun! It was the perfect amount of time and the courses were all different and very challenging (and really nicely done). We played on at least 5 different courses and we even got to play two games against the other (former army) group that was there. The castle was one of my favorite courses! This was also my first time paintballing so I don't have much to compare it to, but I thought it was amazing.
The people working at Excalibur are nice, chill, and funny. They provide you with the gun, mask/goggles, and paintballs. You play within your group and can switch up the teams as you see fit. There's a referee for each game and they give you tips and encouragement. You mainly play death-match style, whichever team has the last man standing wins. Once you're shot (and the paint actually splatters and doesn't bounce off) you're out of the game and have to stand in the specified dead zone until it's over. After every 2-3 games you return to the basecamp to refill your gun with air/paintballs, get a drink of water, and catch your breath.
Maybe they could add some FAQs on their website for suggestions on what to bring/wear. Make sure to bring gloves and wear lots of layers (long sleeve, short sleeve, sweatshirt), something with a hood or a bandana to cover your neck. You don't want any of your skin showing. Hiking boots or cleats work well. Camo/hunting apparel is a plus. read more
