| Yes. If you are shooting faster than 300fps (or whatever the fields limit is, some are 280) You are "shooting hot" |

It doesnt have to beo ver 300fps. It just means that you are shooting over the field limit what ever that may be. Which shouldnt be over 300.

Went to a small place a couple of weeks ago and left after a few hours. After the field opened they just put a chrono out in the practice area and told everyone to make sure they set their markers below 280. I saw few to no players actually do it and when I brought that to the attention of a ref, he told me that most folks there are regulars and know what their settings are. Couldn't believe that reply. We decided to take off when a friend of mine was hit and immediately got a bruise through 3 layers. His tac vest, BDU top, and T-shirt. |

^^^there is no way to tell the velocity you're shooting at without chronoing... even with my phantom, which are very consistant, has to be adjusted each time i go paintballing. that field sucks, don't go back. go somewhere that knows what they're doing and knows about paintball safety. ------------- X |

Yeah you cant just tell what fps you are shooting at. I can leave the field one day shooting under, come back another day after cleaning my gun and it will be way off. I wouldnt go back if I were you. ------------- |

| Don't plan on going back to that field. I didn't understand the line of reasoning either. As I'm sure they all do, my A5 changes from morning to afternoon. |
