How much do paintballs cost?

Paintballs generally range from $15 – $30 per 500 round bag, and $50-75 per 2000 round case.

Some of the things that affect paintball price are as follows:

Shell quality: paintballs need to be round to fly straight. A more expensive paintball has greater perfection and consistency.

Shell Material: a more expensive paintball has a more brittle shell, which hurts less when it hits you.

Fill quality: a high end paintball has a thick, bright fill that is easy to see and very difficult to wipe off (cheat).

How much does Field Entry and Air cost if I have my own gear?

Field Entry varies greatly depending on your area and what the field offers. A field entry fee of $10-$20 per player is typical

Air Equipment is expensive, and paintball fields want to make their investment back. All Day Air Fills will typically run $10-$15 per person
