u have a fill station? thats always good to have when u own a field..... tires are a good cheap bunker i think u should stick with em it adds that junkyard fun feeling to the game.
98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

Plywood? That always makes good bunkers. But I'd get an HPA tank for your gun.

i'v always been loyal to tippmann, but just recently i saw the SP*8, and now i'v gone to the "dark side". . . . errr, let me rephrase that, "better side". . . . . this gun will pwn anyother woodsball gun!!!

haters: "oh, but its just a bigger version of the ion"

me:" so, its still going to be better than an a-5"

 

if you arent a beliver, then look at this. . . . .

That gun is the biggest waste of materials and time smart parts could've done.

And if your only reasoning is that its better than an A-5 then you my friend are wrong. If you spend the same amount of money on both guns they're going to come out to be about the same performance wise. Sure the ion wannabe has eyes and can get 2 more bps than the Cyclone, but with the cyclone you dont need eyes and 2bps more is nothing for most woods players who dont even shoot that high. And I'd be betting that thing is going to be very heavy, notice how smart parts doesn't list a weight on their website.

Hell, for $425 you could get a much better gun than that and still be able to use it in the woods.

go to a feed and grain store and ask them for some plastic 55 gallon drums.  Take em home and gut em in half down the middle.  Put a stake through the bottom of it into the ground.  These make pretty good bits of cover because you can squeeze into the half shell a bit to avoid fire from different angles.  They are pretty cheap too....something like 15-25 bucks each.  Plus you get two bits of cover from one barrel.
you're no daisey.

I hope you're joking about it being heavy. I REALLY hope you're joking. Nobody over the age of ten shoudl EVER complain about the weight of aNY paintball marker. They simply don't way that much.

Maybe it's not just bps he's looking at, but also the fact that this thing looks like an XM8 rifle, and would be the shizz for MilSim. Granted, it's just a fancy ion, but an ion is a perfectly capable marker as well.

I personally still wouldn't reccommend the SP8 though- wait for the MKX8 from JCS. It appears to be a superior mechanical alternative to the SP8.

That being said, I wouldn't mind having either in my closet, myself. and of course, how long until someone buys an SP8 shell and mods it to an Ariakon or Tippamnn?

Try to keep the thread on-topic...

Plywood... X-shape. Holds itself up. Cut a sheet in half. Then cut slots in the middle of each section, half way up. Interlock the sections together via the slots... X-shaped plywood bunker. This also provides a 3-dimensional bunker so that it can be used from all angles, and not just from front-to-back.

The plastic 55gal drums can also be had from car washes... often for free. Worth a try.

As for what else to add for your field?
Depends on your budget.

If you don't already have a good chronograph... I'd start with that before anything else.

or be like me, hammer a 2by4 in the ground with a sledge hammer and nail the plywood to the 2by4,

and 55gallon drums are awesome with speedball, you can easily remake the feild imbetwwen games

extreme rage sells inflateble bunkers for 250 for a set

Thanks for all the Ideas......I like the one about the X thing out of ply wood and the 55 gallon drumbs but one of my dads friends owns a tire place that puts new tires on cars and he said that I could have all the Tires I wanted for free.....So this weekend I am going there to get about 6 truck loads of tires
