R U GOING?      

The weather looks to be nice, but be sure to check. Dress appropriately. It’s much better to have extra clothing to remove if you’re warm than to go around freezing if the air turns cold. Although the “paint” usually comes out in the laundry, do wear “old clothes.” To deflect the paintball punch, it’s recommended that you wear baggy and bulky clothing – such as sweatshirts. Another helpful accessory is a pair of gloves of any sort. Since someone’s hands are usually in front of the body holding the gun, it’s easy to be struck in the hands. This can “smart” without gloves.
