During the conference, many important issues concerns of the paintball industry were addressed and discussed, including the evolution of the sport, the sustainability of the paintball market as well as some of the issues and problems faced by dealers and field owners accross Canada. Special thanks to Mr. Doug Brown, co-founder of National Paintball Supply Inc, for sharing his experiences and expertise with all of us and explaining the evolution and problems with the current situation of the paintball industry. The old days of large paintball corporations pumping millions of dollars into marketing and giving the best equipment to the best speedball players is over. As the cost of equipment and paintballs went up, the sport of paintball had slowly become a hobby exclusively for the wealthy, making it extremely hard for normal players who make average incomes to be able to afford to play paintball regularly.
