Has anyone been paintballing as a 2 at a open session? (lemmy.world)

My partner and I are doing a year of trying new activities, none of our friends are organised enough to come as a big group so I thought we could go as a 2. I'm just a bit worried it'll be full of try hard people/won't be suitable for first timers and we won't have fun. Does anyone have any experience?

I've been a few times over about 15 years or so. This was out in the woods, using gas-powered guns.

They've always been free sessions and they generally just allocate people on teams randomly, so there's no promise the people you go with will be on the same team or not.

It really is just luck of the draw for the most part. Some people get stuck in, others don't.

Don't bother wearing loads of layers - it won't make a difference when you get hit. You'll be better off making sure you're comfortable.

Plus, your mask is going to fog up, so the cooler you can stay, the less trouble you'll have with it.

No idea of that helps, but take it for what you will!
