Did you know that the average paintball shot from a rental gun travels at about 290 feet-per-second?
More on that later.
It’s good to be back in town today after a splendid day off yesterday spent in Berne, Indiana with my brothers – Wes and Brandon.
I got into Berne just before 11PM on Wednesday evening and after visiting, shooting each other with our “soft-air” bbguns, playing RISK on PS2, shooting each other a few more times, and chatting through the night, we finally turned the lights out and let the sun take over at about 5AM Thursday morning.
A couple hours of sleep was all we needed to have the energy for a full-day of adventure on Thursday!
We first headed to the lake in Berne where we did little more than jump in, swim around, and even hit a couple dozen golf balls with baseball bats!
After lunch, we headed to Fort Wayne for PAINTBALL! We picked up “Don” in Decatur – he works with Wes at the church as the sound-guy. We had a blast.
Sure, the bruises are all over my body today as I type this, but honestly, the fun had by four guys playing paintball for 3+ hours was worth it!
We finished the evening with dinner at Coney Island and headed back to Berne. I got home just after 11PM last night and mended my wounds.
In all, about 12 paintball-sized bruises cover my body. One REALLY BAD one is on my left arm that is still pretty bloody.
Of course there is a photo-album of the day available, and I also wanted to post some of my favorites:
