The Price of Paintballs Going Up

With the increased interest in paintball, the price of paintballs have been going up. It really isn’t the most expensive out there though, think hockey! But if you end up shooting off too many rounds, you may need to slow down.

This article has an interesting suggestion:

So basically paintball is becoming even more expensive. What’s being done about it? Well, since every paintball you shoot will soon cost you more per shot, the only alternative we can choose is to simply shoot less. The PSP recently changed their maximum allowed rate of fire from 15 BPS to 13 BPS, a good first step. A lot of price control has to do with the end consumer (that’s you and me). Theoretically, if you shoot less, demand goes down, and price goes down.

If you turn down the rate of fire, you’ll shoot less and save yourself some money. You may also want to practice more on the way you fire. Consciously monitor how often you shoot and try to minimize that too the critical points that will yield the best hit.

I know this blog is supposed to be about the best paintball gun, but paintballs are just as relevant.
