I only know of 2 in Tampa and the one that was called Malibu Grand Prix is the better of the 2. I think it may just be called Grand Prix now.

I like to use a jump suit. Either a flight suit or painters outfit will work. This way you are just one zip away from a mess.

Interestingly I used to be very into paintball. In tampa there used to be a place called Orbital. It's located on 301 right off of fowler. There is also a place in bradenton called Hi-Tec Paintball. Both are pretty good, check 'em out.

One a side note I've got a bunch of very high end paintball equipment that I'd be happy to get rid of for cheap.

I've got a Matrix with a Halo B, and a PE 48/3000 tank.

I also have an e-bladed dye reflex cocker with a Halo B, a wgp 68/4500 adjustable tank, and a full freak kit.

Then I've got a bunch of gear... dye jersey, dye pants, dye gloves, cleats, a wgp pack, V force profiler.

I've got more little stuff as well

heres a pic of the cocker

to be more specific, its got a full freak kit with a stainless back and a 14" front, shocktech internals, shocktech front end, eclipse qev's, eclipse e-blade, shocktech rail, bob long torpedo reg, etc.


pic of gear:


the lens on the mark is actually reflective, but my flash went though it... heres a better pic

Hi-tec is much better for recreational players that dont have much experience. It's always a good time, but compared to Orbital it is over priced and does not attract the same caliber of players. That being said, if you just wanna go fool around every once in a while, Hi-Tec is definitely the place to go.

That is some cool gear.

This sounds like a plan forming.
