The Iowa thread!

[RamboPreacher]

Anyone else live or play paintball in Iowa!?

[beam]

*looks side-to-side* Whew! Noone's looking...I'm from Iowa.

I live in Waverly and play at the Powerstation in Waterloo mostly. Occassionally, I make it up to Ventura to the NorthIowaArms field.

I really want to get around the state and play some of the other fields. It's just really hard to motivate the guys I play with.

How 'bout you RP? What's your home field?

[RamboPreacher]

I live in Norwalk, and mostly have been playing at Action Jacks (http://www.actionjackspaintball.com) . There is a closer field ACP, I believe is it's name that I will be trying out this spring though.

Hey folks,

I am originally form Dubuque,IA. Do I count?

I need to get back there with some time to play, not just drop and run.

Im in Maquoketa IA. Half way between Dubuque and the QC.

Any players in the quad cities know whats goin on with totalpaintball? I havent been there since they moved from Bettendorf to eldridge, and there website no longer exists? If anyone knows information about it, please email me! dannyh_77@hotmail.com

[Sinistarr]

There is a field just outside of Davenport, on sr-22? the one that connects the last IA exit on 280 to river drive.

Just past 280 interchange I believe the first road to the right and a quick left into a field. I believe that is the parking area for the pbfield. The proshop for the field is on State St.? Just under the I74 bridge downtown. I can't remember the name of the place.

There is also a field north of Dyersville. I can't remember the name of that either. (good memory 'eh?) I'll find the names and post them later.

I have inlaws in Davenport, so I get up there kinda regular around the holidays. I didn't know there was a field in Eldridge. I will have to check it out.

Actually, Waverly is about 15 min. north of Waterloo. HAHAHAH another "W" city. It's where Wartburg college is located. hahaha, what's up with all the W's?

[MidnightRider]

Kalona here. Do any of you get to Team Products in Tiffon. Mayber richter? Since the field's southern property line is I-80?

P.S. Kalona is the first town 11 miles North of Washington on highway 1.

I go to school at the University of Dubuque, and am trying to sell my DYE IRONMAN LCD to get a SFL or XMAG so hit me up and maybe you can takes this great gun off my hands......or maybe would could just play some ball.

[Sinistarr]

Dye Angel Guy,

Does UD have a PB Club or team?

Where do they practice at? My son is still in Dbq, and was looking for a place to play. He can't seem to find anywhere play.

Thanks,

G

[Dye Angel Guy]

well the school does not have a team yet, but I am forming one. There is a place to play here in DBQ, its called BEST SHOT Paintball. I always go down to davenport though to play. I have not played at Best Shot yet. How old is your son?

[Sinistarr]

18, he graduates from Wahlert in June. Do you play at that field I mentioned, or the one in Mt. Joy?

I will be back sometime in April, or May. First weekend of June for sure.

G

[Dye Angel Guy]

Yeah the one in Mt. Joy you pay 1750 on Wed. and you bring your own paint plus you get all day air. The one here in dubuque I know on Sundays you can bring your own paint.

[Sinistarr]

Where is the one in Dbq? It wasn't there before I left.

G

[Dye Angel Guy]

yep you can go to Bes Shot paintball here in DBQ.

[spudmag]

I just got my minimag, but i have been playing for about a year and a half, i usually play at action jacks, or mainly at sprokets

[Halliday]

Wow. I can't belive I missed this thread.

Bring that Mini down to ACP! I'm reffing there most Sat's.

[spudmag]

I was just down there for a tournamet not to long ago, it was 2 on 2, and my team FRESH MEAT< got 3rd,but i didn't have the mini then.

[Richter]

Wow this thread is old. :) Sorry I miss some of the questions. I am willing to play in Iowa anywhere close to I-80. Looking for cheap tourneys that I can take rookies/first year novices and either play with them or coach them.

Went with a couple of guys that had never played before and tried to coach them through a 2 or 3man rookie tourney that was indoors just east Des Moines; that was winter of 2003. I saw on my way to cedar rapids the field in tiffon (well I guess it was the sign for field) I also saw a place that had hyperball tubing stack up stories high right on the side of I-80. They must be some form of pipe distributor or manufacturer. It makes me dream of larger that life hyperball fields.

I have played at DOA (Rattlesnake's field) west of DMS. I played a bring your own paint tourney a few years back at some place south DMS on the interstate that joins DMS with KC. (forget the number because I never drive on that piece of pavement)

I think I played at action jacks once; it was a field right on the river. I think we played a NAAPSA qualifier there...

Anybody now any cheap tourneys in Iowa let me know.
Thanks
Shane
