Adventure Tips
Dress dark and layer up
Wear moisture-wicking base layers and darker colors to stay comfortable and less visible on the field.
Protect your hands
Thin, grippy gloves reduce sting and improve marker control without sacrificing trigger feel.
Hydrate between rounds
Bring a bottle and sip during resets—short, intense bursts add up, especially on warmer days.
Plan your ride
The Stupini field is a 10-minute drive from central Brașov; taxis or rideshares are the simplest option if you’re not renting a car.
