Most guys are going to tell you to play stock, which it sounds like you have, and upgrade what you feel has been week.

I would say you should get a decent expansion chamber if you often play late in the year. You might even look at spending the extra money and getting a palmer stabilizer as that can be used for CO2 now and N2 later.

Besides that, you need to upgrade your barrel. I've been very happy with my lapco bigshot, if you can find one, it's great. otherwise a j&j ceramic of about 12 inches is a great pick.

As you play in the woods, I am assuming you're not interested in fire power upgrades but if so, the rt trigger along with an electric (or cyclone) hopper would be good.

Well that's a start, anymore info from you would make this much easier.

If you do end up getting the RT tho you will want to use CO2.  If you decide to go HPA soon an Egrip is a great upgrade too.  I have seen people have problems w/ HPA and the RT though.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

Put a 14in J&J ceramic barrel on today, it seems to shoot a little straighter.

Yeah, J&J will be superior to stock regardless of the paint you use. The next step is to find a good paint that will fit the barrel properly. J&Js run med-to-small on bore size. If you find a good paint, you'll be shooting lasers with that barrel.

If you're looking to increase your ROF, look into a RT or Egrip. If you do add a firepower upgrade, look into the cyclone, as it can keep up with both the RT and Egrip. As for a barrel, I always recommend the JJ Ceramic. It's an affordable barrel that I feel is one of the top barrels on the market.

distance for barrel, which i usually find useful in woodsball, get the flatline, i
would also reccomend the e-grip, but its really only nessecary if you would
get an electric hopper or cyclone, j&j 12-14in. is also a very nice barrel,
cheap too. thats pretty much all youll need for a pretty good gun.

-sorry for typos
