I hope I can still play when I'm your age hehe.

I started at 19, I turn 38 on Sunday.

I may have played better when I was younger but I have more gear now... damn you BST!!

Started at 9 with a hand-me-down pgp from my uncle (still have it) played until 16 then real life took over. Turned 28 last year, just got my last part in the mail today (thanks bacci and titus! you guys definitely made it easier!) with this bit complete, all I need to do now is find some part time employment to fill in some of the gaps between classes and I can get back on the (outlaw) field.

Started at 17, will be 32 this year. Still boggling when I end up playing against kids younger than my markers.

Started at 18 in 1988. Played hard and as much as I could (almost every weekend that I could afford it) for 2 years straight. Retired around 90-91 and took a 22 year break. Discovered MCB last year, bought more markers and gear than I ever had or will ever need, and returned to paintball last year at 42.

I move more slowly now, but I can also shoot more now with them fancy, new mechanical semis. I'd only ever played pump with CO2 before returning, so using a mechanical autococker/automag with HPA is all new to me

I started whenever those Gotcha! guns came out. All the kids in my neighborhood had them. We'd play "war" on our 3 blocks. **** was bananas.

I didn't play "real" paintball until 1995 though.

I started when I was around 16 & I'll be 34 in a couple weeks. But I'm still in great shape & have actually have gotten faster & stronger with age.

Although I haven't played since spring of last year.
