Northern Virginia Paintball

Since Decembers game was the last game of the year, I thought it’d be nice to do a little “year in review” of this years past games/honorable mentions. Unfortunately we didn’t record anything (because I hadn’t started this site yet!) for our games from Feb. - Apr., so I apologize about that.

Check out this past years Hard Core, Best Run and New Folks honorable mentions! Thank you to all who came out, became regulars, invited new folks again and again, and for making our games so much fun every month. We look forward to 2008 and all the paintball we’ll play then!

Happy New Year!

-Jen & Brad

Looking for something to do post-Christmas?  Want to break in your new paintball gear? Check out Hogback’s December Big Game - Santa vs. the Grinch on December 29th.

Details:

On his way back to the North Pole, Santa crashes his sleigh, spreading gifts all over the fields of Hogback Mountain Paintball.  The Grinch gets word of the crash and he is on his way to collect all of the gifts and thus ruin Christmas.  It is up to Santa and his team of elves to find the gifts first and fight off the Grinch and his minions.

Check in: 8:30am

Game Ends: 5:00pm

Tickets are $15 or $20 at the gate on the 29th.

Field Paint Only - $15 for 500.

Have a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a great game if you decide to go to Santa. vs. the Grinch!

More pictures from our December game are up!  Click here to see all the pics taken from Falak’s camera.

We all had a blast today playing paintball in the snow (and mostly mud). Thank you to everyone who came out!!

UPDATE:  Pics are up!  Just scroll down and click the link under “Photos” (to the right).  These are just the pictures taken with my camera - as soon as I get the ones that I took from Falak’s camera I’ll post those as well.

For those of you that didn’t attend the game, we’re not attacking poor Ami on the ground, we’re helping her up out of the mud after Brad slipped and took her down with him. 

We’re still playing paintball this weekend. Just in case any of you were wondering. Bundle up, it’s gonna be a cold one!

UPDATE: And yes, rain or not we are going to be out there at Hogback to play; as long as everyone else doesn’t wimp out!

This will be the last paintball game of the year and I hope everyone is looking forward to it!

It’ll be chilly (highs in the mid-40’s), so layer up and don’t forget gloves if you don’t already play with them.

For those of you joining us for the first time, Hogback requires a waiver be signed for everyone.  You can fill it out at the field, or you can download the PDF version and have it ready to go when you get there by clicking here.

See everyone Saturday afternoon!
