- Here in NY I get stuck paying $30.00 !!!!! and ( drum roll please)
- 10 bucks per 100 paintballs. I buy my own paint, but the field fee is
- terrible. And they give anyone with their own marker a hard time. There
- are times when the head cheese won't let me on the field, but he eventually
- gives in. Anyone with a semi will get a hard time, even if you play on a
- "modified" field.
