As a kid I learned to shoot a rifle from my Dad at a very early age. We would go out into the back yard and shoot… of course there were no houses or kids around to endanger. For me those days are gone. This makes me sad for boys, as I was about my boy’s age when I began to learn to shoot. So this year I asked my wife for a different kind of present… a paintball gun.
I did some research on paintball guns and found that the Tippmann A5 has a good reputation for not breaking balls at high speed shooting. For me this is a good thing, because I don’t want to spend my free time doing extra work. Also the A5 is one of the most customizable markers (paintball talk for paintball gun) on the market. Yee Haw.

Just be careful that you don't "shoot your eye out" or something. Enjoy the present; I haven't played paintball yet but it looks like a heck of a lot of fun.
