I don't do anything at all. Quite frankly, I don't care if people want to join in or not. If they want to get into it, then they could ask me questions and where to go and stuff, but I'm not going to be open and say "Do you want to play paintball sometime?"

I'm more of a "If you want to play, meet me there and we'll play" than a "I'll give you a ride to and fro and make it the best time of your life".

yeah bro, couldn't of said it better my self

[pb=life]

I overshoot rentals, shoot in the staging area, steal pods, explain to everyone that my high end is better than their gun and I should play d1
Nothing. I do nothing.

Breaking out the pump for first time players. Promote local fields at charity events, church fairs, pubs
Grabbing a few field passes then handing them out to friends of friends at the bar tends to get a few bookings.
the field makes a few extra dollars n i save on admission. more Tater Tots for everyone.

I play at my local field every other weekend, and when I'm not playing I'm reffing.

[AXEMURDERER]

I buy new gear at local paintball shops instead of busted-ass used crap online. This directly supports the companies who make the gear we use, so they can do more R&D and keep the sport evolving on the equipment side.

[Sanguine Wave]

I'm nice to rentals.
















Most of the time...

[DudeinDump]

Talk about paintball @ School, Spend money on Paintball, and I offer rentals my gun.

Present projects about paintball, get made fun of for playing a "loser" sport...

IMO people who say that paintball is a loser sport have
1 never played
2 too pu$$y to get hit
3 dont have 50$ to have fun and rather beat it to mw3

[xSilent]

I've gotten a few people into it. gave a presentation on it a few years ago. I'm constantly talking about it, and making sure it's not assumed to be a war game.
Oh yeah, i play paintball.

[FreeEnterprise]

I started and run my own private field that is FREE for my players... I've personally gotten over 100 new players to try out the sport at my field, and many of them are now regulars.

I have many complete set ups for new players that I let them borrow free until they can get their own gear (typically they only use it once before buying their own). Including decent masks! They just have to furnish paint and air.




I also make videos that show the fun of the game, and I invented the ZoomCam so the viewers at home can SEE the hits. (many new players see my videos and decide to try the sport for the first time).

Most of all, I have fun, and when someone is having fun, others want to as well!

After this game




I handed out my custom Trails of Doom stickers to everyone in attendance that wanted them... (I sell them on Ebay to help support my costs for running my field and making paintball videos if you want a set).

Make sure my field is the best damn one it possibly can be

[TechPB-Mike]

1) always invite people out to play with me, if they sound interested in playing

2) always have a good loaner setup for them, tank, loader, gun, mask, etc

3) make sure they have a good time

4) give them good advice on a good setup for their budget

5) make videos and post them on Youtube



That's what I do

Nothing, if someone wants to play so be it, I'm not gonna force someone to do something they don't want to do.

Well Mike, we all know what you do to contribute to the growth of paintball... ;P Thanks for the response though!

Thanks for all the responses, by the way guys. It's great to know that there are some people out there that actually contribute to the growth of the sport!
