2.6 Where Can I Find Out More About Paintball?
This FAQ isn't enough? On the off chance that this document doesn't
answer your question (in which case you should email it to the
maintainer for inclusion) or want reviews of equipment and results from
events, there are many other resources worth investigating.
IRC
#Paintball on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) provides a real time chat forum
for paintball players.
Web Sites
Warpig (http://www.warpig.com) is the most complete paintball web site
on the Net. It contains news, technical articles, tips for beginners,
and even RealVideo from various events. The site is also a good jumping
off point for other paintball related web sites. The authors, Bill and
Dawn Mills, are well know in the paintball community and update the page
frequently.
Ravi's Paintball Place (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~rchopra/) leans
toward the more advanced player. Much of the material on his site is
technical in nature and focuses upon upgrade and performance
enhancements. The author, Ravi Chopra is a regular on R.S.P. and has
written many articles and reviews for the paintball community.
PCRI.net (http://www.pcri.net) used to be a print magazine but has
recently transformed itself into an e'zine. It has a comprehensive
ratings archive of nearly any piece of paintball gear you can think of
as well as "Tips from the Workbench" which will help every player keep
their gun in top notch shape.
Magazines
There are several magazines dedicated to the sport and are available via
news stands and subscriptions. These include Action Pursuit Games (CFW
Publications), Paintball (CFW Publications), Paintball Games
International, Paintball Sports International, and Paintball 2-Xtremes.
Each of these 'zines include equipment reviews, tournament news, and
columns about tips and tactics. Subscription Information is available on
Warpig. Paintball News is a free tabloid which covers rec and tournament
events and is available at most paintball fields and stores.
Books
"The Complete Guide To Paintball" captures the excitement and energy of
the game and provides a wealth of information for both beginning and
advanced play. This generously illustrated book was published in the
Fall on 1999 with contributions from several authors, including r.s.p
regulars like Steve Davidson and Rob "Tyger" Rubi. Sections include how
to choose your paintball gun; care and maintenance of your gun; safety
equipment; tactics; techniques; game rules; a listing of paintball
fields in the USA; and many other important resources and information.
