So, Friday night, I went and played some paintball, and came home with ~400 balls of Xball bronze, and a full air tank (68/45 filled to 3000). So, today I was pretty bored and decided to do some snapshooting/accuracy drills. One dilemma, Only 400 balls. So what do I do? I innovate!
My setup:

Using a hanger on a line setup used for drying wetsuits, I hung my jersey (still dirty from last night) and some towels beneath it to catch the balls. Eventually I put one towel up on the line as a second target.
Result? Uber-cool. I started with a 1/3 full egg2 ( ~60 balls), and proceeded to do some shooting. After 11 times of shooting all the balls and then collecting the unbroken ones, I had this many balls:

Pretty damn good, considering most of those that didn't make it were because of my missing my jersey and hitting the fence:

Or hitting the tree.
So, now I have a new problem, I'm going to run out of air instead of paint. :P And with no N2 fills here, thats a bigger problem. Oh well, better than before!
