start your own business

Back in the day I used to play paintball almost every weekend and I always thought it would be really cool to own a field. Ideally I'd have a place with both indoor and outdoor courses so that I could have business all year round.

Done the paint ball thing about 10 time and I actually like playing outside in the winter. Your moving around alot and with a few layers on you stay nice in warm and it also helps pad the hit from the paint balls. If you had the land the overhead would not be very much.

The biggest problem with playing the in the winter is maintaining the guns. We used to always have problems with our CO2 tanks or the guns jamming up when it was really cold out. Either that, or the paintballs wouldn't break when they hit you and that hurts like a bitch.

As for the cost, it always seemed to me like it was the type of business that wouldn't run too high on overhead. Like you said, if you have the land you're off to a good start. I've seen equipment packages on line where you can get almost everything you need at a bulk rate. I bet you'd make a killing renting the guns out and on the mark-up on the paintballs.
