Started playing in 2001, became heavily involved with the my local field in 2002. (ref field manager). Designed and built a woods field that same year. In 2003 I planned on making the MMG or TWC. In 2004...well, we'll just not discuss 2004. Now, the summer of 2005, I am hoping to make the RofR game.
Most of that time, I have used a 98 custom. I had an auto-cocker (really screwed up auto-cocker), and traded it for a 68ci 4500psi HPA tank. I now have my Ion, which I will post in a couple of days with pics of my 98 custom. I've done alot of work on both guns (more on my 98). I think you'll all be somewhat impressed...

So far I have: Tippmann A-5 Flatline for woodsball J&J Ceramic for speedball E-grip GTA Expansion Chamber I played my first game of speedball yesterday. It was extremely intense and so much fun. I am very glad that I decided to give paintball a try. The only problem I have so far is the cost. I am only 15 and don't have a job, so paying $60 or more for paintballs that work well with the flatline is a real pain. This is made even more expensive when your gun shoots out 13 of these a second on full auto. That's like spending 40 cents every second!!!  |

Most places won't let you work there until you are 16 because of insurance purposes but I'm just saying it is legal to start working at 14. You can even work at 13 with some restrictions. |

4yrs.
i started with a blade II. it broke so i moved up to a talon ghost. it broke too so i moved up to a vl triad and i decided that it would break sometime too (it did)so i made the wise decision to move up to a marker that costed more than $60 so i got a 98c and i still have it. i ended up wasting the money it wouldve taken to get a 98 on junk guns...  ------------- Chuck Norris doesnt read books, he stares them down untill he gets the information he wants. |

Started with an Brass Eagle Talon when I was 10-11. Then a 98 for the next few years which I had before the flatline and 98c came out, but then I got the flatline the first summer it was out and it was horrible. Then I took a break because I had no one to play with. Then I got my A-5 when some old friends got me back into playing. I am 22 now so I have been playing for 10-12 years. I remember when paintballs were VERY expensive. I spend about the same amount now though because the markers shoot faster. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |
