sports and outdoors

This is excellent casual reading for any paintball fan. Although most of the experiences were woodsball, a lot of it applies to speedball as well. Easy to read, despite a few grammatical and typographical errors. Definitely reinforces the idea that many paintball players are "average" and not a bunch of loons. Fun reading.

I guess my expectations of this book would be that I would learn about paintball history, tactics, and the evolution of paintball equipment all in the context of interesting paintball stories. Although there was a little of that, the book is really just a chronicle of the author's paintball experiences given in a diary like format. Some of the experiences were interesting but NOT that interesting. Unless you can't get out save your money and time and play a game of paintball yourself.

Scott's new Paintball book is not only about his evolution as a player, from the 80's to the present, but also the evolution of the game/sport.
His stories bring to life the intensity of the game, as well as the teamwork and feelings of victory. We also get a chance to see how the sport has changed, in equipment, as well as attitude.
The personal nature of the stories allows a look inside a player's head, giving insight for nonplayers into why Paintball has become so popular.
As a player, it put me back on the field, trying to make the right move, solving problems and overcoming challenges.
Scott's book captures the essence of the game, from "Paint ball Math" to "Post Paintball Fatigue Syndrome", and tells a darn good story, too.
If you've ever wondered why people love the game, or just want to read some good "war stories", pick it up!
