Getting Started
Safety and Safe marker handling are the most important aspects of
paintball sports. Please practice each of the following steps with an
unloaded marker before attempting to charge your marker with
compressed air and paintballs.
Do not install an air cylinder or load paintballs into your marker until you
feel completely confident with your ability to handle your marker safely.
Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger;
point the muzzle of the marker in a safe direction at all times. Keep
the marker in safety or turned off until ready to operate.
