| if your going to stick with your 98 then definetly get a new barrel ( thats all up to you because there sso many different kinds) a new hopper could be either a revvy or an evo but I dont htink you would need something fast since your playing woods and dont worry about the mask yet if you plan on getting other upgrades unless it fogs up alot then a new mask or anti fog lenses is a must |

yeah, start off by getting a barrel. I like the J&J ceramic, go with a 12-14in. I'm not really sure what kind of mask. If you can go to your local field and try a few on and see which one is more comfortable for you. I know alot of people recommend the v-force mask. As for a new hopper, if you don't have any trigger mods or an r/t or e-bolt you don't really need an extremely fast hopper. If you already shoot sorta fast without any upgrades and you have to shake a gravity feed hopper you could look into a 12n revvy. It should be just fine for you. It would even work if you decided to mod or upgrade later. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

dont forget a co2 tank btw, if you have a small head or if you like your chin hanging out, go with invisions, if not, profilers are great, they run about the same price of an invision, or a nice choice is a pro-flex, they are very reliable masks, and are a lil cheaper, as for the progressive, good choice------------- teamtriggerhappy.com eatonpaint.com wevopaintball.com |

If your gonna get a 98c there is no need for the anti syphon and i don't think that you would need the on/off either. ------------- I play front I run a blue SP ION 06 freak back Blue 06 all-american front Blue smartparts adjustable feedneck T-Board crossfire 47/3000psi tank I Live At The Fifty |

Yea that sounds like a great setup for you. And I'd get the Evo 2 over the Revvy. Now you'll hear a lot of people tell you that the Evo's overkill, which it is. But it'll work fine and will save you $ in the long run (and also looks 100x better than the Revvy ). ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

yeah to carry extra paint, especially in woodsball because youll end up doing alot of bush-wacking for a beginer you prolly would be good with just one of the cheap ones that go around your leg, but if you wunna shoot alot, then nxe or redz makes awesome packs ------------- teamtriggerhappy.com eatonpaint.com wevopaintball.com |

why get a 98 then put a cyclone feed? you can get an egg for that much, and a revvy for cheaper, at least with the hoppers you would be able to rip harder when he upgrades his firepower ------------- teamtriggerhappy.com eatonpaint.com wevopaintball.com |

As for carrying paint get a vest for woodsball, Since you are in the U.K try Armotech U.K they have brought out a new vest and it is the Dobbermans danglers m8 also handy if your getting a remote, Just whack the bottle on your back! also you could have a look at Vipers south african vest its pretty good (about £25-30) the armotech is about £45-50 but well worth it. -------------
