Paintball Operators Guide

Without a doubt the Paintball Field Operators Guide is the most comprehensive book I have ever seen covering paintball site operation The guide covers everything from setting up a paintball site, equipment and supplies, field preparation, operating procedures, players and the game, safety, tournaments, promotional material, business ideas to the day's end in it's 450 pages.

The guide also includes a computer disc of essential information. Whilst the guide is an American publication the articles in the book are relevant to the operation of a paintball venue anywhere in the World.

The guide was first published in 1986 and has been regularly updated by the author Guy D Cooper. Excluding UK law and HSE requirements (which are in the UKPSF Code of Practice) I don't think there is a subject related to site management that is not covered in this book. The book is essential reading for all paintball site operators.
