Matt, I didnt know you played. I have a bunch of gear I need to get rid of.... such a waste..

I worked at a Paintball store that had two locations after school in high school. I learned a lot about guns and the business. As far as playing I think I've had 10-15 guns, played local events then went to NPPL D-2, played Denver, Hunington Beach, tampa and NC, but that got old paying so much for so few games and a "one shot to make it" kinda deal. Started our own team and started playing PSP in Charlotte, World cup, then went to Chicago. ..

Took third in chicago and havent picked up a gun sense. My little bro still plays professionally but I dont have the time or money anymore. It started not to be "fun" anymore, it was work; and it was hard to stay on top. We just did break even with the prize money from taking third. I dont miss it much, other than the tourneys themselves, having a crowd watching and yelling, its such a rush.. I dont regret it though, the practices every sunday and thursday and thousands of dollars for a few little trophies and plaques..

ahh well I wont forget.

Keep playing BALL FELLAS!

I myself have been playing for about 10 years now, started as recreational then actually started competing in speedball in 3man SCPL this past year until our tournament series went broke, now just usually play for fun and went back to old school style by playing pump instead of all the crazy electro guns. Off the top of my head my list of guns I've owned from past to recent go, Brass eagle stingray, Spyder compact, Spyder E99, Indian Creek Designs BKO, Smartparts Ion, Dangerous Power G3, CCI Phantom, WGP Superstock Autococker, and now i have 4 Different WGP Pump autocockers and another body I have yet to convert. I like pump play because you can play all day for relatively cheap, piss off people who have expensive gear, and improve your own skill by making each shot count. I recommend it to anyone looking to start off in paintball.

wow this thread actually makes me miss paintballing
quit a few years back because it got so damn expensive though..
i was a super gunwhore and had everything from phantoms,timmys,shockers and egos..
although it was fun, i kinda regret spending so much damn money on the sport, but now, all the money's going to the damn car.

ive been playing paintball since 2004, i remember that year because that was the year before the 2005 angel speed came out and had to have it. I still have my angel and decided to build a custom autococker and a automag. I havnt played in like a year, ive been so bussy with work, girlfriend and my 240sx. All of my guns are collecting dust in the closet but its good to have them so whenever i decide to play again i already have the gear

I prefer paintball over airsoft and woodsball/tactical over speedball. Love it but not a every weekend thing. Got a few places to play here in WI but private land is best. It's free. Gotta group to play too. Only thing about that is playing with new guns that haven't been clocked.

spyder mr2 etrigger with few mods and the usual gear.

lovdrifting52

yeah i use to play woodsball back when i was like 15 here in socal just seems like their building new shit everywhere ......anyone kno of a woodsball filed near the 805/818 area were people play? were u dont gotta pay u just take ur own air and paint

raz0rbladez909

There is a shop between Ontario and Diamond Bar called thepaintballshop or thepaintballstore that has a bunch of cocker stuff, talked to the owner and he bought out all of system x's old stock when they went out of business and he's making his own products under the brand GAT products. Pump kits, rods, random other bits. I have some spare stuff lemme know what you need through PM and I'll let you know what I have. Paintballgateway.com, I&I Sports, and ANSgear have quite a bit of parts as well, and most of them are local too.

I used to do the same thing but nowadays there are so many fields, there really is no excuse not to play legit. Think about it this way, if you play at a field its going to cost you maybe 15-20 bucks which isn't bad for all day, plus you help support your local business and you avoid any hassle from johnny law. It was understandable back in the day because there wasn't very many fields nearby but I'm sure that there is a place within 20-30 minutes of you dude.
