Low Impact Paintball

Paintball is an awesome sport. It promotes team play, awareness, fitness, but for many people it can also be a little painful when you are marked (hit) with a paintball. For those newer to the sport, and especially younger players, this “sting” can be the deciding factor in not participating in this great game. At RVR, we want to see everyone enjoy this experience: younger players, inexperienced players, and families alike. In order to meet that need, in addition to having standard markers available, we offer low impact paintball as an optional retreat group activity.

During RVR's Summer Camp season this low impact version is also offered for several camp programs to try out as an elective activity!


Listed below are three of the main differences that make low impact a huge hit for all ages:

.50 cal paint vs .68 cal paint

Lower Impact Paintballs

Our .50 cal paintballs are smaller than the traditional paintballs, causing lower impact.

Lower Impact = Less Pain!

Lighter Paintball Equipment

Smaller paintballs means lighter equipment— 2lbs less than traditional paintball gear.

Lighter Setup = Less Fatigue!

Low Impact is Still Paintball!

The game of paintball hasn't changed, just the size of the paintball.

Smaller Ball, Same Game!
