"501 Paintball Tips, Tricks, and Tactics" is a compendium of practical and strategic information for paintball players and those who would like to give the sport a try. Each tip and strategy builds on previous information in the chapter, advancing the reader from basic familiarity to advanced technical and practical prowess, through the strategies and advice of the author and dozens of professional players interviewed for the book. Chapters cover speedball, woodsball, mechanics, the physics involved in paintball, strategies for every format, and even health information to stay in peak condition. By the last page, the reader will gain years of experience for less than the cost of one bag of paintballs.
Dave Norman lives a quiet life in Portland, Maine...and a very different one when he travels. His penchants for writing, adventure, and getting away with things have served him well throughout a blossoming career as an author and photographer. A widely recognized expert on paintball, he has played the sport in seven countries and used it as an introduction to many more. His travel articles explore the dusty streets of rural India, frozen Russian gulags, maze-like Chinese hutongs, and hot Cuban nightclubs.
Dave has a special love for finding small stories that connect with big ideas, and writing about them for a range of publications. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College's MALS program in creative writing, and a 2004 graduate of Westminster College. He is eternally grateful to the Missouri School of Journalism, whose rejection set him off on a six year, sixteen country odyssey where he met his wife, found his calling, and wrote several books.
His forthcoming title, Following Josh, is due out in the fall of 2011 from f/64 Publishing.
