| welcome to the forum and about your ion situation I would go for an 05 prostock its not as fast but if you put on some upgrades it will beat an ion anyday. |

the only upgrade to make a 05 prostock good is a e-blade and that costs soo much and im not even sure if they sell them anymore ! ------------- im the closet thing that u will come to war !!! SMART PARTS ION 3000/47 PURE ENRGY AIR DYE 03 STICKIES TEARDROP BARREL HALO B HOPPER |

| Get a Nerve (~$475) or a Promaster (~$370). They're both better than a stock Ion. |

thats what i would do, wait a while, for a birthday or holiday(easters coming) for the extra $80, the promaster would beat any ion any day unless its a crazy upped ion, but you cant make it that good with the extra $80 SAVE YOUR MONEY- then get a promaster ------------- SP Vision Imp w/ ALL NDZ internals, CP flame drop w/ on/off, Freak-AA tip, lowrise feedneck, NDZ Pro-Mag trigger, tapeworm, NDZ lpr cap, NDZ ti. bolt pin, maybe thats it?

With SP's price drop today on the Ion, it's going to be VERY hard for most companies to match or beat them. ActionVillage is showing them at $200. Granted, that really blows any Ion resale value out of the water. ------------- http://www.geocities.com/limitedpump - Limited Pump Paintball |

get the ion def. the price dropped so its like 200 now, and if u were planning to spend 300 well now u can save some money, maybe buy a tank, or a hopper. the promaster is another good choice. but i say you should choose between thos two. ------------- Setup: Super Blue Nexus Ego Ul barrel 45/45 pmi vlocity |

| Is the ion good for woods/speed? I dont want to spend over $250 on the gun. And I know I will need some upgrades. What upgrades would I need for the ion? |

I don't know if it can take a couple of falls, but just from general opinions, you'd prolly want to look into a tank and hopper, if you don't already have on, a QEV, and a barrel.

What don't you like about your current marker? We can't give specific advice unless we know exactly what the problem is
