Ultimate Paintball Field Guide

... but not very useful if you have a few games under your belt. It's the extreme basics of the game. If you're new, it's a worthwhile read, but otherwise skip it in favor of a heftier guide.

This is an excellent starter guide. It lets experts guide the beginner through a great way to get started. More advanced players may be bored with the slower pace, but beginners will enjoy it and welcome some of the repetition. The title "Ultimate" does not mean "Complete". For that, I would get the "Complete Guide to Paintball" (2nd edition). Or, do what I did and get both.

If you have been playing paintball for a while this book covers a lot of what you already know but I bet you will learn some new stuff too (excellent chapter on barrel technology). If you are new or relatively new to paintball then this book is perfect for you. It covers a wide range of topics including how to buy new and used equipment. At about the cost of a hopper full of paint this book is a good deal. Get this book and save yourself some money, time, and pain!

This book is awesome. Ive read it cover to cover many times and it has made me improve alot. I saw the ironmen using it at a tournament I went to!

i think this is a great book for any paintballer. Especialy the newbies. great strategies. i practily live by this book. its the best.i love it.
