702 Paintball

Getting a group of co-workers, friends, and family together for a day of paintballing. If you want to join, you're more than welcome to. I'll be the big, bald guy wearing the ACU vest and full head helmet.  Hope its kind of obvious. My name is Matthew.

When: Friday May 9th from 12pm-5pm & the Zombie Experience after. (No I don't expect anyone to stay that entire time besides me. There will be breaks.)

Where: Combat Zone Paintball (13011 S. Las Vegas Blvd.  Las Vegas, NV 89044)

Zombie Experience:
The other thing Combat Zone offers is their Zombie Experience. It runs from 7pm-11pm. Basically, you buy one ticket for one go around in the experience. You need to buy your ticket online and it is recommended you buy it two weeks in advance to ensure you get the time you desire.

What happens in the experience is there are actors that portray Zombies and you make your way through their 780'+ long course, spanning all four of their fields in an attempt to survive!

There are safe houses throughout the experience where you can go and reload the paintball marker that is provided for you and allow you to catch your breath.

From talking with the guy running it, it takes anywhere from 15-45 minutes to get through. Depending on how much running you and your group do.

As the maximum group size is roughly 10 people per go, we will have to split up into groups of as close to 10 to ensure we can go with the people we want be with.

Explanation of Reserving for Zombies:
1.) Go to the link below, click on a time you would like, and select May 9th to purchase tickets: http://www.combatzonepblv.com/zombie-tickets.html

2.) After purchasing tickets, call Combat Zone Paintball at 702-388-9663 to reserve a time. This is what I have been told over the phone. Even though you select a time you want online, still call them to set a time.

3.) Group sizes I have heard range from 8-10 people. So if you have specific people you want to get together with and do this, start hooking up with them asap and see about getting together for it.


If you have any questions, feel free to ask. With the amount of people that are invited, I hope for a good turnout. In all honesty I'd expect between 10-15 people to show up. Always have a ton of fun and I want to extend an invite to anyone else who may be interested. Note: We aren't uber competitive folks. We're just looking to have some fun enjoying this great sport with cool people. If that sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to join!

I will make it a point to be there as much as possible but I may have to come and go a little bit to pick up people who may be coming later.

If you haven't gone paintballing before, here is a little guide as to what to wear:

Basically you want baggy and full coverage. A hoodie/sweater and sweat pants would be best if you can stand it in the heat. Layers would probably be best so you can remove some if you get to hot.

It doesn't hurt much getting hit but, the more you can stand to wear, the less you'll notice it and the more bounces you'll get. Bounces are when a paintball hits you and doesn't break. If it doesn't break, you aren't out!

Optional Gear: I personally highly recommend gloves of some sort but some people prefer dexterity over protection. So that is up to you. I've been hit in the hand and choose protection over movement. You may also want to bring a hat of some sort if you don't wear a hoodie. Backwards baseball cap or beanie works best as the mask only covers yours face and sides of head.

If you want to get a few tips on how to play, I made a playlist on YouTube with a fair amount of good instructional videos. You can find the list here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeSEMjZ7p9O1gXiaEWPsp4whfe4sNmpum

I have also set up an event page on Facebook that I am keeping up to date as much as possible. Feel free to check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/events/275357815958178/
