Once or twice a year (fall and\/or spring) we gather the guys, dig out the wrist rockets, and shoot each other with paintballs. This was something I used to do with friends back in jr. high and high school, and it is just as much fun now, plus, I’m a better shot.

2.Location: we play in the swamp behind the church. No driving. No one is running a special course.<\/p>\n

3. Realism: we play with wrist rockets because I think it registers differently in my mind than if I were to look down a barrel at someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
