The Good Stuff!

Although some folks may be disappointed by the few black and white pictures in this book, I was extremely pleased with the content of the text. The author has obviously spent plenty of time playing paintball, and thinking about paintball. As a former woods ball player, I picked this book up for my pre-teen nephew, who's just getting into the sport. I was so pleased to find actually useful info about marker maintenance and repair, field tactics, and lots of other good stuff - many of which I had to find out the hard way for myself back in the day. This book makes a great companion to several other books that are geared toward paintball "newbies": Buy this one to go along with any of the latest picture-laden books. There are real "gems" in here! _Dave_

My number 1 resource

As a beginning player, this book had absolutely everything I needed, from the basic rules, to how to keep my goggles unfogged, to basic maintenance of my gear. I feel like I can actually get in the game, just knowing simple things like that paintballs travel in lanes, so there are safe places to stand just a foot away from a heavy exchange of paint. There's also a ton of stuff about boobie trapping, ghillie suits and building bunkers. Dave also answers specific questions through his website (www.501paintballtips.com), which is useful when I don't know the terms to use to look up my question. Great resource.

Great Book for Everyone

While I have never been a fan of paintball, I do have a copy of this book. It has really helped me better understand why my friends love the game and really does a good job explaining what the game is all about. I would think that even more experienced players would get use from many of the tips that are included. Whether you are an experienced player looking for an advantage, or a beginner looking to get a better handle on the game, this is a great book. Also, I have followed the paintball career of the author for sometime and truly believe that he has all the knowledge and experience to be considered a master of the game.

Don't judge this great book, by it's lame cover

What a great resource. It covers woods ball (my favorite scenario games), and speedball equally well, and shows how techniques in one can be applied to the other. Don't judge it by it's lame 70's industrial style cover, because inside is a wealth of great tips and tricks that can transform your individual game, or team game. This is a book that you will read again and again, and apply new strategies from what happened at the field last weekend.

The Authoritative Collection of Practical Paintball Knowledge

Renowned paintball journalist, paintball instructor, and world adventurer Dave "Landshark" Norman spent much of his 11 years as a player researching the tips, tricks, and tactics in this book. They include the best practical skills, technical tricks, and field tactics for speedball, woodsball, tourneys and scenarios. Within these 242 pages, Dave "Landshark" Norman teaches everything from how to get your tourney or scenario team sponsored to how to rig safe paintball-booby-traps. The information in each chapter starts simply for new players and the paintball-curious (like parents who want to know what our sport is all about), and then progresses logically to complicated subject matter indispensible for seasoned players. For the cost of one bag of paintballs, you gain three years of experience in an easy-to-read book laid out with each tip beginning with bold text--that way you can skip ahead, start reading anywhere, anytime you like, and quickly find tips when you want to reread them. There is even a full glossary of terms to get you up to speed! The Table of Contents: Foreword (Jessica Sparks):.....page 7 Preface (Marc Gottfried):......page 9 Basic rules of paintball:......page 17 Woodsball:.....................page 19 Speedball:.....................page 60 Technical tips:................page 110 Tactics:.......................page 161 Health:........................page 198 Games:.........................page 211 Glossary:......................page 230 About the author:..............page 242 The author is a seven year (and going strong) industry insider whose articles regularly appear in Action Pursuit Games, Jungle, Paintball Sports, Paintball News, and Facefull, as well as non-industry publications. He is an acknowledged authority on the subject matter, and you can find his articles all over the internet and in print...but you'll only find these tips, tricks, and tactics inside this book. Dave "Landshark" Norman has a Master's in Creative Writing from Dartmouth College, a Bachelor's in English from Westminster College, and is at work on three non-paintball manuscripts at the moment. He has more than 500 paintball articles in print, and several dozen pending publication this season. When you're ready to take your game to the next level--or want to learn what in the wide world of sports paintball is all about--pick up a copy of this book. Thanks for your time, Dave Norman (author)
