A Decent Paintball Guide
The "Ultimate Paintball Field Guide" is a book that covers a lot of important information for the beginner and intermediate paintball players.

It covers all the basic teamwork skills you need (movement, communication...etc) and everything else that is essential for a beginner so you are not completly lost in the field.

It also covers further information for the more experienced paintballer such as what type of each piece of equipment is best for you when considering buying your own and what upgrades you can buy to your equipment...etc.

If you are the very high up paintballer (expert) and are already aware of this type of information then try to avoid thinking that because the word "Ultimate" is in this book's title that this book must be in your paintballing guide collection because it is the average resource that explains everything required for the newbies and everything for the show offs who have just moved on from a newbie. Not the pros who have already mastered the game.

I think the book should of had a title similar to one of the other paintball guides here at Amazon like "The Complete Guide To Paintball" and then mention something like "from the teaching of moving in and out of the field learning how to easily take down your enemies to the teaching of how to take the game to the next step". Basic to intermediate information basically.

If you are a beginner to an intermediate paintballer and are considering to purchase a guide than I strongly suggest that you add this one to your shortlist.
