Why is paintball horrible after christmas?

[sjrtk]

Played today at the indoor field in south jersey today after work. And low and behold it was me (25 and playing on my paycheck [rent be damned]) and looked like 400 million kids. All of them with brand new electros and full matching gear. I have never been overshot so bad, that i can remember (20-30 after the whistle or at the exit). I know there kids and really want them in the sport to help it grow again but there is a part of me the wants to pull out my RT and rip these kids up.

Any one else have similar experiences?

Played the day after Christmas and it was fun.
But outdoors/woodsball and it was a pretty big field.
Lots of refs so none of that went on.

I've only played a couple indoor fields and I didnt care for the indoor stuff at all.
I will stick with outdoors....much better.

A competent reffing staff should have recognized the issue? Making sure kids listen to the rules is adamant. Although I think parents need to start the kids of with a basic marker and work their way up from there. It's like giving the kids the keys to a sports car when their experience is playing rad racer/project gotham racing video games. It's an accident waiting to happen.

Going Home I wish I lived in a warm climate so I wouldn't have to trudge thru 2 feet of snow to play outdoor ball.

Never had the opportunity to play right after Christmas.
Wish I had an indoor field near by worth playing at.

Should come with us to Topgun tomorrow for the Polar Bear vs Penguins game.

1: I will try to make it to the field live out side of AC, and need to get my aunts car fixed so might have trouble pulling it all off in one day.

2: Can't just rip the kids up on day 1 want to get a few of them to keep with it, we need fresh meat. But apparently it was my fault for using a mechanical marker. But next time..... Classic RT 1100 psi and a halo.

i just got home from playing, i was using my e-mag in mech because my battery is dead, trilogy cocker(more ion parts than cocker soon), and ion. i was having a blast with all of them, mostly the e-mag. there wasn't much overshooting but there was tons of Hot shooting. field claims the chrono was broken the day prior. i was told to just judge it. i have a nice cut on my chin because of someone and another on my arm. i guess start playing with mech only players. we shoot less. i think at one point i went 4 rounds on one hopper with my cocker, and that's with getting people out and not getting out myself.

I worked at the field the day after christmas. I had to show a kid how to turn on and adjust the regs on his brand new Dye NT.

Guess he was too young to read the manual...

Called my local store. They ran out of paint! All Sold Out!

Guys, I guess it's time to buy one of those padded vests!

I had an issue last year with getting over shot. Just one of those things, it happens. I just try to remember who it is and have a talk with the fellow after the game.

And a cup those kids aim low must be all those pods.

No indoor fields near me, so I guess I got it lucky, sort of. There are a lot of kids that get new gear for Christmas. Most don't overshoot. They are trying to get used to it.
I try to help them out if they don't have attitudes.

Find an outdoor field that is open, those skinny lil kids wont want to get their new cleats dirty.

We played last week outside in 14 degrees, wasnt too bad actually. The emag worked perfectly, whereas my friend went through 4 electros all with issues before eventually settling in with the C3 I got him for christmas last year. That gun is great, and doubles as a hand warmer after about 20 rounds!
