From my experience you get more used to getting hit over time. As both a player and ref I've pretty much taken a hit to just about everywhere except my face.

Still there are some tender areas that still gonna sting pretty bad no matter how used you are to it. Most hits I can't even tell where they are at the end of the day unless they are in a tender region.

It doesn't really hurt at all for me anymore. I'm so used to being bunkered and overshot that really, I don't get out unless I'm gogged or I'm pulled by a ref now. In recball i'm a bit more cautious, and tend to check myself more often, but when i'm playing speedball and there are refs, unless they pull me or i'm hit in the mask, i keep on playing.

It's definnitely one of the things you learn to tolerate. In my case, that took about a month to get used to getting shot since I played at a primarily speedball based field. lol. But yeah, getting shot in the kidneys, adams apple, etc all suck a lot. Dunno why, but lately people have been shooting me in the a** while I ref. I lay down on the ground to stay out of lanes so they see me and are like...POW! My gun miss fired? lol. But yeah. You definitely get used to it if you ref.
