Paintball Magazines
As the paintball industry matures and spreads across the world the opportunities for media are growing exponentially. Although television doesn't seem to be too quick to get on-board with broadcasts of large paintballing events on main stream stations, the magazine world is heading in a good direction.
Manufacturers, promoters and distributors feel the impact of branding their names and advertising their goods in paintball magazines. So much so that several of these paintball magazines are able to offer their issues online for free.
Free Online Paintball Magazines
are a great source of inspiration
With a growing population of cheap media devices it's easier to receive and read these publications conveniently on demand. Depending on your cell/smart phones capabilities, many of these mags can be viewed on the go or downloaded for later consumption. In the world of "we want it now" it works better than ever imagined.
So what's so great about free online paintball magazines? Our team loves them for the ability to inspire us to play on days we are feeling a little lazy. They bring us new product reviews and news of products on the horizon. Most of these publications follow tournaments and give the blow by blow action that induces an adrenaline rush. Often these tournaments include player interviews which we love.
We also appreciate the included tips and tricks that others have discovered and used to their advantage. And of course there is always a section of some sexy paintball model with a full glossy picture spread. It's also a great way to keep up with industry news especially after coming off one of the toughest years of paintball companies closing their doors.
