NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C.- We all dream big-- but for one new business owner, his dream has become a reality.

At 22, Ryan Kirkland just started his own paint ball facility in North Augusta.

Atomic Paintball has only been open for about a month and it's already attracting major attention.

Kirkland says he never thought he would have his own business at such a young age.

“It’s one of those surreal things. I still haven’t grasped it yet,” said Kirkland.

Kirkland tells NBC Augusta in ten years he hopes to have the largest field in the southeast.

If you want to test your skills you can find Atomic Paintball at 618 Atomic Road in North Augusta.

They're open Saturday from 10 a.m. until dark and on Sunday from 1p.m. until dark.

It costs $25 for 500 paint balls.

You must be at least ten years old to play. If you're under the age of 18, you'll need a parent's permission.
