What the 1989 Club is about.

Paintball players on a walk-on day

Slow the game down. Level the field. Make every shot count.

The 1989 Club has been running for well over a decade. It was created for players who wanted a level playing field with magfed, pump and pistol markers, without being pinned down by high rate-of-fire electronic markers.

The games reward movement, positioning, communication and trigger discipline over volume of paint.
