J - are you planning on going out to the special forces big game? If so, we are going to be on axis again and this time we are doing shirts for the clan! I'm scoping out some cheap hawaiian shirts or i'm entertaining doing some tye-dying (sp?) let me know if you want in!

Rowebote!!! OMFG you're alive!!! It's been far too long. You have to see my rt ule - it's red, just like my emag! the trigger pull is so light it walks almost as fast as my emag (almost...nothing can top the emag )

If anyone else is interesting in joining "Jesse's Crazy Bastards" aka Corky's Clan for special forces big game, then pm me your shirt size and we'll sign you up for the clan!

Chem - I'm still TRYING to get my wife to buy into the idea that I've been really stressed out with the new J-O-B lately (I mean hell, I only put in 41 hours before Friday morning.) and that I really need to get out and play. So far I'm not registered, and I think it might be too late to register, I will e-mail Jeff and see if there is still space and get back to you...

Otherwise, instead of putting baseboards in my house the weekend in August that my wife is out of town, I'm going to be playing some paintball... Maybe I'll head out to Joes...

[JRingold]

Ok, two events going on tomorrow in the Cities.

Special Forces is having round two of the Operation Overloard. Since my wife didn't give me the OK to play all day paintball until this morning, I won't be attending that one.

Pump day at SplatTag for pump owners. I'm planning to head out there for this one. Mostly because I want to take the Phantom out of the case and get some paint through it.

Who all is going to the fall giant big game (sept 18th?)? I for one plan on being there with igotu from the forums here. Anyone from AO MN should play as a squad or something for at least part of the game.

[JRingold]

I am planning to be at that game. I love fall paintball...

Chem, what are your thoughts? Micro? Anyone else.

I'm planning for the GBG in September, and then probably Special Forces in October.

Same here for those two. The Rebels *should* have the tank out from now on. And I hear Wild Bunch have a rocket launcher in the works.

Morning everyone! I'm new to the forums and pretty darn new to paintball. I'm on my way home from a military deployment. I'm in the middle of a long layover in Indiana which is what's stopping me from getting started on paintball a lot sooner.

I've hooked up a friend or two with the camo and overseas patches and all that good stuff. I've looked at their markers and been a little interested. Now I want to play and put my camo's t good use instead of just letting them sit in the closet.

I'd like to make it home for the Giant Big Game in September but we'll see how it goes.

( Jringold, How's the Xmag treating you? Where were you Thursday (today) for wings? )

Cameras and More

So I'm looking at all of the stills from Operation Overlord and whatnot. I've been thinking this: Has anyone video recording to put something together? I've done some different military projects and other pieces for our Family Rediness Group. Has anyone done anything for Minnesota paintball?

[JRingold]

I'm not in for SFBG in September. Hockey season is starting, so I've got a bit of cash to shell out for season tickets to the Wild and I need to get a few new pieces of Goalie Equipment. Mech, you and Chem like hockey, perhaps we can head to a Wild game? They start playing September 17. And I need to get paint for the GBG... Too much going on in September...

As far as shooting the X-Mag; that would require air. I have four tanks and not a single one of them has enough air in them to shoot. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to take a run into Jordan on Sunday and get some filled. I have four markers sitting around here, two just had some work done on them and the only one I can shoot is the Phantom, because all I have is 12-grams. One good thing is that I did get my '02 Conquest adjustable regulator for my 92/4500 tank working this week!!

Wings, um? Well I haven't had the time to check that e-mail address. I'll let you know this week if I can make it this Thursday. Next Thursday is also a possibility, I just have to figure out what's going on with Hockey and work.

For the GBG, is four cases enough? I'm thinking about getting some cheap from some on-line placed, I just don't want to buy too little. I'm not about to go and pay $60/case for GBG.

Purchase your paint from http://www.firstcallpaintball.com buy in 4 case increments and get free shipping. prices seem comparable to actionvillage.com Don't buy any All Star, Extrememly hard shell.
More paint is better than not enough.

I have added your contact info to my address book so I can call you next time as well as email!

Let me know about your X-mag and if you need any adjustments again or not.

Hockey is cool, we could make a game I'm sure. Walking distance from here. mostly in the skyway!

I ended up buying four cases of Ultra Evil left overs from the last PSP event at some good prices. That means I will have 4 3/4 cases coming with me. That should be enough, well if I clean out that bag with the broken ball in it.

I'm going to get four tanks filled tomorrow, so I will be able to let you know on the adjustments. It's still a little stronger pull than my other one, but I can't tell because I'm just pulling to see where the pull trips the HES.

I can't stress enough that the pull may be harder/longer whatever, but you HAVE TO SHOOT it with paint. it really does effect the overall feel. Dry firing is different than just pulling the trigger not gassed up as shooting paint vs. not shooting paint. Chem and I can actually shoot our guns faster shooting paint than dry firing. it has a totally different feel.

Get ready to throw some paint!

sorry this is worded odd but I'm in a hurry!
