Paintball had a peak in the mid-2000s (I would say 2006) due to a combination of: - Millenials who were kids of the baby boomers being in their late teens early 20s - Disposable income due to the real estate bubble / positive consumer sentiment It dropped off a lot after the 2008 GFC though. BUT A lot of those kids playing in the mid 2000s are now parents of ~10 year olds so apparently there is a bit of a resurgence going on.
