I got my gun abouy 2 years ago and hoped to play a lot but I still
haven't played yet with it and I feel like I wasted all of my money on
nothing. The problem is that most of my friends don't have places to
play in their yard and most of them are never at home at the same time
in the summer. So should I just sell my gun or get some more of my
friends to play (which will be pretty hard). Btw, I have played paintball before on my Stingray and I loved the sport. -------------

I have been trying that for monthes and we just never have enough people, and some people are out of co2 and paintballs so that messes everything up more. -------------

There is one field near by, it's terrible, crappy refs, cheaters, high prices, terrible courses. Believe me I played there once and I'm not going back. So your only option is to play in your own yard and only one person has a yard fit for woodsball. -------------

I'd say hold onto the gun even if you dont play. Then, should you find a new field or place to play, you'll have a gun to use. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

| Let him try your 98c. Don't sell it, but try to find a local field. I believe you can search http://www.pbreview.com - www.pbreview.com for fields close to you. |

Finding a good field is or best bet, or meeting some of the players in one of their yards. I played a few times with some of my friends in my back yard, not the same as shoot complete strangers. ------------- http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=260991706090alb8rs.jpg">
