I was wondering if anyone here had experience making their own homemade paintball course. I have a course on the back side of our family property in the Adirondacks but its literally just a flagging tape grid on trees in a wooded area. There is a lot of brush and branches that block shots. The trees arent super thick and there isnt a lot of natural cover on the land. I was thinking of setting up wooden pallets and attatching them to stakes or something. I dont know. Maybe bales of hay. Any ideas?

Hay bales are a good idea and the pallets as well since the inflatable cover is really expensive. You can also use old tires and stack them to create cover. Generally on most fields that are budget type that I’ve played on use wood and old tires

I’ve been to some. If you take a sheet of plywood, cut it in half and join them at 90 degrees with a two by four and cut some sight holes with a jigsaw, stake it in the ground that’s a good hide

If you have a junk car you can yank back there that would be fun too

This is a good idea to lots of different things you can do with wood to create cover

If there’s standing deadwood drop them randomly.(great cover) .if you have access to a tractor with a backhoe implement the options are endless..foxholes and bunkers take it to another level and they don’t need to be fancy. I’ve seen some rad homemade courses

Personally the best way to enhance the fun in paintball is to keep all players with single action pump guns with smaller hoppers and tanks🤷🏽‍♂️ It makes it a skilled event. It adds an element of strategy. I despise the semi auto matches. I prefer to rely on skill,strategy, speed, agility.. if you don’t limit the firepower then it just becomes a spending competition and a10yo kid walks in and lights up the place … I enjoy the thrill of limited air and ammo . And knowing my shots have to count .. that’s more important than course layout IMO✌🏽

Any building materials you can get free or cheap are great.. We have a plywood downed black hawk built to scale in the middle of a pallet wood town... Its great.
