Retread Paintball

Retread Paintball We are an organization founded to help foster and grow the sport of paintball. What is retread paintball? Retread paintball is just such a group of people.

A retread is an old term from the military to designate older servicemen that were brought back when badly needed expertise was missing from the force. A retread was an experienced veteran with specialties that were needed to bolster those that were lacking. We saw that the sport was in decline and needed an infusion of ambassadors to aid in launching a new resurgence in what is a unique and profo

und sports experience. Paintball is a very accessible extreme sport that is often misunderstood and intimidating for people looking for an athletic outlet. We hope to change that paradigm and both bring back people that used to play and have since left the sport and also introduce new people that have never played before to the sport that we love.

When people ask where our name comes from…this is maybe 30% of the inspiration and the rest was when this term was used to describe retired military personnel called back up to assist efforts during WWII. They brought them back to help train or to run logistics or otherwise help keep the younger folks out where they were most desperately needed.

I took that idea when I got back in to paintball and after playing as a teenager. When I came back the electro dominance was EVERYWHERE. And guys with guns and setups that cost more than my first car were mowing down walk ons with rental guns. That was driving people immediately away from the sport and killing it and killing the vibe I got playing, back when most people used pumps and mechanical semi auto was relatively new (yup…that old) but the game was so much more fun and the barrier to entry for new players was so much more accessible and equitable. I wanted some of us old guys to lead the way in bringing back that vibe.

That’s what I wanted to recreate. So, I started hosting limited ammo games. Not requiring people buy fancy pump guns but if you brought an electro I gave you a gravity hopper at my expense to play with. Or, we only let folks bring one pod of paint or one hopper of paint and zero pods. It was great and we grew tremendously.

Now there’s a mech or pump game nearly every month and mech tournaments and mech guns are very popular. Autocockers are super popular and new ones can be had. Other old mech gun companies released new runs or completely new mech guns. Established brands have done so also.

I love seeing it and I think the game is growing again because of it. Thanks to all those that helped out and contributed during those years. Thanks for making something old, new again.

I think we helped make a difference and hopefully inspired the next generation.
