Some nice action pics (with Mags???)

[Skeeter]

Hey all…

Just wanted to drop in and say “hi” as an old timer, without a lot of posts. I jump in and lurk, frequently, but the body of knowledge here is immense, and it’s hard to justify contributing. I am usually too late to jump into the quick moving discussions, and by the time I read through them, the discussions are over & the argument/points/victors have been long decided.

I have also read through quite a few threads about how rare it is to see another Mag. No shops have parts... Nobody knows how to tech them, etc... Not in "my world".

Anyway… I had a semi-regular player snapping pics at my field today & took notice of the number of Mag shooters in the pics. We have always been an AGD friendly field (if you trust Tom, Jon, Joan, Roman, etc.) but it is very rewarding to see the REAL evidence. I wasn’t even at the field this weekend. This wasn’t an “AO South” event… Kruger gets that honor (maybe I should host one, some day). This was just a random weekend, but it was nice to see the quality hardware on the field. Not to take anything away from the DMs, Shockers, Tippmans, Eradicators, etc... The Mags seem to stand out, as well they should.

Here is the link, if you want to browse: http://www.paintballcharleston.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6197

Also… We are a very “Pump Friendly” field as well. This game is not about the shot count, and I don’t try to sell paint. I try to provide fun, and that is from good fields, with GREAT refs & an emphasis on sportsmanship & etiquette. You will probably see a surprising number of Phantoms, Sniper IIs, and possibly some CCM pump “goodness”…

Hope you enjoy.

Cool, looks like a lot of fun. Glad to see everyone having a good time without worrying about if they have the latest equipment or not.

I need to make a trip down to PBC and check out the place for myself (shooting a Mag, of course).

I might also break out the Nelspot if the occasion calls for it. :cool:

sweet pics skeet.

I just wanna say that Skeeter, and his field are the reason I'm on this forum today! I started playin paintball when I was stationed in charleston SC back in 2004, bought my first marker from him (tippmann 98), bought my second marker from my buddy (tippmann A-5, which I still have) and bought my third marker (Automag RT Pro, with Y-grip, and ULT) from skeeter which I also still have (although it's been cannibalized with my other mags since then). I fell in love with Mags after he sold me my RT Pro. Also, I loved his field! Only field I've ever played where you could bring your OWN paint, and still not pay ridiculously high field fees. Also, it was nice to have a certified AGD tech around.

Skeeter I love your field! I swear I'll never play a field as fun as your village field. I can't tell you how much I enjoy putting a hundred people on a field slightly larger than a typical speedball field. it's such a rush!

although the rule regarding shots below the elbows/knees is a bit odd...I still love your field! I wish we had a field like yours in eastern Iowa :(

I don't know why I felt like sharing all that. I get a bit emotional at 4:00 in the morning when work is slow.. :D

are the margins on my post all screwy, or is it just the comp I'm using? :confused:

[Temo Vryce]

It's just you.

[sjrtk]

They were some pretty good shots in there. Like seeing people rocking the mags and pumps with the electro crowd. Looked like some younger folks to mabey we'll see a new uprising.

[maniacmechanic]

Good Pic's
I've allways heard this is a great field ( along with being AGD & Pump friendly )
Is this a normal weekend ? , how many " normally " show up on any given sat/sun ??
Did you ever find the scumbags that broke into your shop , I think they got the last NOS E Tac

[durtysoufcraka]

Yeah South Carolina! I've never been to PBC even though I have a barrel sock with the logo. Looks really cool.

Any decent action photos of me are when I'm playing pump. I did manage to find an old picture though. I think this picture was taken in 2001 or 2002. I only had one hopper, and for whatever reason (probably batteries) I couldn't use the warp feed. A little duct tape and cardboard covered the hole in the hopper. The JT speed feed thing stuck up pretty high though. haha. It was awesome with the warp feed. I don't think there were any speed lids for hoppers available at the time. The tank was an 88ci tank. I still use it for messing around testing stuff. I think it's been hydro'd twice. I still play with the same mask too. I put the visor back on because I went bald and it stops me from getting nasty dome welts. I swapped to the soft ears because the solid ones eventually cracked.

Your field looks great. The phantom, mags and a ccm S6 are my go to guns. Looks like a great place to play. :cheers:

Here's one of the only action shots I have of me and my Classic Mag. I'm usually the one with the camera.

PBC is my home field and it is great. I have played at a lot of fields around SC/NC and it is still the best around.

O'My Christ that's a big barrel :D

Just standard 14", :D

[Watcher]

My 2 main fields usually have cameramen there for events, and I am typically a well photographed person.

I think it is just because I play rather old-school and use exotics, but it could just be because I am in the right places at the right times.

They are fairly 'Mag/retro friendly fields, but it is rare to see them in the hands of people I don't already know.
One field actually rents 'Mags still, and most of the staff recognise them for what they are (E-mag, Micromag, etc). One field I have been meaning to go to used to have 'cocker only days, but expanded them to 'Cocker & 'Mag days, then expanded them to just mech only days. Been meaning to go there on one of those days or one of the pump days...

[chafnerjr]

I have almost no photo's of me playing period... this one isn't even at my local field. It's from Fox4 in Upton Mass. heck it's not even really an 'action' shot. I was trying to get a whole bunch of new players to move up because they were 200 or so yards from the nearest enemy. The paintball I'm holding just completed it's 5ish bounce and ended up in my lap.

I've posted these up before, but one with my old E-Mag and a more recent one with my ninja X.

We must be famous??? Mike? Dat you? Are you a civilian again?

Thanks for the props! Sincerely. :cheers:

We are still a $10 a day, BYOP field (and always will be). We still have the knees/elbows rule for rec play. What we found, way back in the old days, is that the knees/elbows rule keeps players in the game a bit longer, and makes the shooters "earn" the elims a bit more. It also keeps the "cheap shots" (under the walls???) down. No reason to shoot someones foot from a few inches away, if the shots don't count...

Come on down... We have a nice / diverse crowd. We spend a lot of time educating our players, and that seems to help on several levels. We also have a "lifetime ban" for anyone caught wiping, so the sportsmanship here is WELL above average.

I have players with everything from slingshots to DYE NTs at the field. One youngster has a Sydarm as a primary marker, and we still see Nelsplats & PGPs from time to time. It's not about the hardware, but quality helps!

GREAT memory!!! We didn't catch the scumbags (this term is TOO good for them) that hit the shop last May (24th). We have recovered a handful of markers that were swiped. It's amazing how efficiently pawn shops can loose their purchase records... :mad: Yep. They got the E-Tac, which is NOT doing them any good. It is too noticable to play with, and my guys still visit the pawn shops & keep a lookout. It is probably in a dumpster somewhere! Loosing the E-Tac was the worst hit! Financially, it doesn't matter, since insurance covered the theft (minus the $1,000 deductible), but loosing something that can't be replaced SUCKS!!!!!

We have a pretty busy field. Our rec ball crowds can run from 70-80 on the low end, to about 250 on the high end. It all depends on the weather. When it starts getting hot (about now), then our crowds will start dropping. A big part of our player base is from private parties. We usually have 4-8 private parties on Saturdays, and another 2-3 on Sundays. These are not for our "regular" players, and usually church groups, bachelor parties, groups of friends, company outings, etc. Hopefully, some of the participants from private parties will become regulars, but they can be hard to "capture"...



Yeah South Carolina! I've never been to PBC even though I have a barrel sock with the logo. Looks really cool.

Man... We are only 2-3 hours away... What part of the state? It's worth the drive, if not for paintball, then the beach and the food (and the College of Charleston girls)!

I am running a 24 hour game next month (May 1st & 2nd), if you want to get some play time... We encourage camping, so this will cut down on the travel expenses...

well, I'm not mike but as of Feb 14th of 2007 I am a civilian again :headbang: :headbang:

$10 a day BYOP...that sounds like a fairy tale! LOVE IT!

yah I didn't mind the elbow/knee rule...until I left charleston after 'ballin for a year and a half and started playing in san diego where they dont' have the rule. It took me a long time to get out of the habit of hiding behind my own shins and forearms :rofl:

ROFL @ my Brazilian friend. The bamboo barriers are awesome. There's noting like playing in a tropical rain forest. I'd be too busy looking at the scenery and get shot in the face. :D

LOL. I remember playing in a field in northern Cali in 2000 (can't recall the field's name) and at the end of one game there was some guy didn't stop shooting. Everybody was yelling game over and the guy kept shooting and shooting so we went closer to see what was happening. When we arrived there, we saw the guy shooting at the ground and when he finally got without balls, a ratle snake flew away all painted over. Now that's was scary!

I grew up at paintball charleston and times have changed. Back in the day it was cockers and mags, now its pmr's and etek's. I know my mags so I stick with them, and manage to hold my own better than most people. You guys should try to find your way down here and to play sometime. There are about a dozen different fields over 60 acres. Big time fun for everyone

Village and the Castle are my favorite. I grew up out there from 12-20 and most of the years actually now that I think about it. I only really used a mag for rec-ball.

[Schven79]

Hey Warbeak, glad I found that picture of you? Haha.

I wish I had some pics of me playing with my pneumag on the speedball field but I only have shots of me playing woods with my old Karni. :(

(I'm new BTW :) )

[captian pinky]

skeeter runs a great field i have played regularly since 2000 at PBC. i love his fields they are always coming up with new ways to change up the old fields to make it more fun. they are also the safest field i have ever been to. I learned and grew up playing pump and shooting mags at PBC. for a while they had the last 2 xmags ever to still be brand new never shot hanging on the wall, but they are gone now. i currently have a series 6, pump mag and 3 other mags along with other raritys. PBC is a great field and hope to see you there with your mag.
