Ok,
I am doing some resaerch for my paintball club on the history of paintball.
If anyone has any info on the following it would be great.

Anyone know the name of the newspaper that the story on the first game was printed in or the date?

Also the same for Sports Illustrated There was someone there from SI (Bob Jones)and I want to find his story.

The forestry catalog fom 1977 (spring) that has a nelson nelspot 007 in it. I would like to find it.

Also I was told that Daisy actually wasn't the one that invented the first marker(that was sold to Nelson) so does anyone know who was?
Does anyone have a list or know the list of the teams participating in the first Nsg championship in 1983 and where it was at?

And finally a AGD question.
When did Agd get started,who was it that started it,and what was this person's background,and what was the first marker?

If anyone has any info on this please send it to me at
Paintballoregon@aol.com or post here.

Also since I have been doing this research for a while I might be able to answer general paintball history questions so feel free to ask.

Thanks Everybody

p.s. a lot of people told me to contact Warpig and APG, I have been in contact with Jessica Sparks from APG, and I am in the process of contacting WArpig
