i dont no what to do, im gonna get a q-lock and a egg2 for my ion but the only way i can do that is by not going paintbaling this month, the only why i can keep going paintballing is if use the crappy vl 200 until ive eventually saved up for the q-lock and egg2. what should i do not go paintballing this month and have the q-lock and egg2 for next month or go paintballing this month with the vl 200 and eventually save up for the q-lock and egg2 |

Go paintballing, but get a job.

Definitely, go paintballing and save up for the upgrades. Using a gravity feed hopper will force you to not just spray ropes of paint, rather it'll force you to take more precise shots, which will help you in the long run. Chalk it up as precision firing practice. That's one of the reasons I love Hopperball days. It forces you to use a bit more tactics and use your paint wisely. ------------- http://www.thelloydsonline.com/paintball - SPUDCRAZY http://www.oldmanmilitia.com">

| If it were me, I'd try to do both. Play, but just don't use a lot of paint, maybe half of what you use now. Then start saving the money you save buy not buying a lot of paint. |

i have the same problem as u my man...but ive found a way to get $$ quick....okay...if u buy lunch save the $$ and bring a snack to hold u off until u get home...also wen u buy paint..buy high grade cheapos i recommend Monsterballs there like $30 for 2000...then ask ur parents to pay for ur entrance fee in the field...u shuld be able to save $$ pretty quick and be able to go play this or the next week and buy ur wanted upgrades.. -------------

Dont say you can't get a job ... there is plenty of work out there you just can't be afraid of a little phisical labor ... i am 14 and i work for my dads carpentry company and skin and sell coyotes during the fall and plus if you get a job now it will help you in the working world when you leave school -------------

wrong, most states you have to get a work permit from your school and then you can work, but in some places that means that your employer doesn't technically have to pay you minimum wage. also have you thought of mowing the neighbors lawn, i paid off a 98 custom and a flatline when i was 15 doin that ------------- Wubadoo |
Posted By: jerseypaint

To get the permit u need to have a garuntee from the place where you are planing to work and ur are more likely to get paid min. wage cuz of the age and the only real stores that can hire under 16 are stores that are not franchised. and mowing the lawn aint a bad idea  ...but to bad my neighbors are retired and their flowers and lawns are all they got-------------
