the a-5 is way better for woods ball because the electras r mainly made for speedball.

I don't have any expierence with spyder electras, but I do know that I've used my A-5 in the woods with great success.

I don't generally trust electronic markers, too much frill and too many gizmos that can fail you. A mechanical marker won't have those problems, and if they do, you can get them fixed without paying a butt load of money for new solenoids or boards, or whatever gets burnt out while you're crawling through the mud and the wet of the woods.

I'd vote for the A-5 based on my expierences with it.

.....and yes, I'm old fashioned.

Get the A-5, hands down. Spyders aren't that reliable, especially if you're playing woods.

A spyder for woodsball is a waste of money, it will break as soon as it gets touched. I have a friend whose Rodeo broke like 5 times in one day when playing woods.  I can jsut drop my A-5 and then throw it at a tree and then pick it up and start shooting.  Hands down A-5
