SHARPSHOOTERS had their work colleagues, family members and friends in their sights when they spent a day with Mega Paintball at Bockhampton, near Dorchester.

Dorset Echo employees, friends and family headed for the woods to join in a number of games.

The sharpshooters had to attack and defend positions and forts, and complete expeditions.

Instructors heavily stressed the importance of safety but also ensured that the group had an enjoyable day with the emphasis on fun.
