"PPS" Signature Paintball Policy


“PPS” signature paintballs Only?

This means you cannot bring in your own paintballs to use on our park. All paint shot on the park or target range must be “PPS” branded paintballs.

What is “PPS” Signature Paintballs?

“PPS” Signature Paintballs are paintballs branded with our PPS logo on each paintball. PPS branded paintballs are sold exclusively at Fun On The Run Paintball Park and all Paintball Players Supply locations. “PPS” paintballs come in six brands ans manufactured by the top paintball manufactures.

We only sell Premium PPS Paintballs

What if it's the same kind of paint, can I use it?

No... Sorry, unless it is “PPS” Signature paint, you cannot use it at Fun On The Run Paintball Park.

What about Paint Grenades and specialized paintball rounds?

You can use First Strike rounds made by Tiberus, for your sniper needs. You can use paint grenades made for paintball, by a paintball manufacture, that do not contain a internal air source. You can not use any paintball grenades that are not approved or made at "home". All out side grenades and specialized rounds need approval by FOTR.
Why can’t I use my own paintballs at Fun On The Run?

One is safety. By only allowing “PPS” branded paint it reduces the chances of altered paint that might not break as easy and could cause injury.

Another reason is clean up. Some of the Paintballs, sold by Mass Merchants/ Big Box Stores and even other paintball stores, are leaving a black residue all over the park. This sticky black residue can not even be removed by a pressure sprayer. This residue can stain bunkers, netting, trees, and also make it harder for our customers to clean their equipment, jerseys, etc.

The most important reason is safety and enjoyment. You might have noticed that some paintballs hurt a lot more than others when you get hit. This is not only a function of how fast the gun is shooting (and we chrono everyone's gun to 285 fps), but also on the shell type and fill. The some paintball manufactures use a recycled gelatin shell which causes a the paintballs not break as easily - and they hurt a lot more! It turns out if the paintball breaks on contact, it distributes the energy which makes for more fun, and less discomfort than getting hit with other paintballs.

To make sure our customers have fun, without the pain that can be associated with other parks that allow anyone to bring in any paint they want, we insist that all players on our park shoot the same, high quality, easy breaking, non-staining, bio-degradable paint.

What if I do sneak in my own paint?

We do visual inspections on all paintballs multiple times a day. So if you are caught with non-PPS branded paintballs, you will be asked to leave the park for the rest of the day with no refund! So please do not put yourself, or us in that situation.

What if it's paint I got from you before?

If you have “PPS” branded paint left over after a day of play, there is no problem bringing it back in. Our paint is unique to our park, it is not sold anywhere else in the US.

We only sell Premium PPS Paintballs

Fun On The Run Paintball Park only sells first run premium PPS paintballs. We do not sell seconds or reject paintballs!

When you purchase paint, keep in mind that the cheapest isn't always the best. While you may be able to shoot a lot with extremely cheap paint, shooting another player doesn't count as a hit unless the paint breaks.

We do not recommend purchasing paintballs anywhere Fun On The Run or Paintball Players Supply. Fun On The Run gets their paintballs FACTORY DIRECT! Our paintballs are the FRESHEST you can buy. The fresher the paint, the better it shoots!

Paintballs are perishable and have a limited shelf life. The older paintballs are less round and become more likely to break inside your paintball marker before they even leave the barrel. Lopsided paintballs also curve thru the air when shot rather than going straight to your target!
