Well, played my first tourney.

[stooks]

I could help you with the markers breaking paint.. mainly the extremly LP guns (From what i saw) hardly broke... I got hailed on by shockers and cockers all day.. and my angel broke about every single ball until i switch to big ball... Hey load are you going to be at NAP this coming weekend.. I should have my cocker then >=P

[Load SM5]

Probably not..but maybe.

I saw quite a few angels that seemed to be doing fine. Robert's was one of them.

[stooks]

He was shooting zap too.. Stars and Lightning were crap.. But my angel looked like it was a nice steady stream of paint coming out of the barrel, Not in ball form.. and the all emag team had A lot of problems at the first of the day with breaking.. I watched their first game and one of the had choped so much his emag ceased to cycle... They where pretty good.. Damn hard to play 2 vs 1 with them..

Congratulations LoadSM5 on a successful first tourney.

I just wanted to comment on my experiences with my own SFL. I played yesterday for the first time where my SFL didn't behave as a paint blender. Up until yesterday, whenever I've use it, it seems to shoot 2 or 3 balls and then it just starts breaking them down the barrel. I was shooting Pro Ball up to yesterday but switch to a fresh case of Marbs and boy what a difference. Not a break all day until the last game where I had a couple. I was even able to win a 2 on 1 situation because of how well I was shooting.

I think paint to barrel match is so crucial with this marker. I'm running mine with a Dye 14" Boomstick, Warp, Halo and the Stock RT bolt. I have a complete Freak system on it's way because I can't consistently keep from breaking paint and think this may solve my problem. I'm also waiting for Superbolts for the SFL to become available again. My original one broke the first day out.

Maybe AGD will let us send in our breach modules and get them modified or replaced. I know AGD reworked Kila's breach to help with barrel breaks and that they've under gone some design changes. Maybe the reworked breach is part of the solution here as well.

Anyway, still love my SFL and always get a lot of comments on it from other players.

Congrats Load. Placing in your first tournament is a great start.

Was looking at another thread you started showing the vert neck adapter from KAPP. Do you think that may have contributed to some of the ball breaks?

Congrats again,

Actually, I think Kila got his breech machined on his own. I'm pretty sure AGD is still working on configuring the breech geometry. I hope I will be able to send mine in soon for the upgrades.


Anyway, Congradulations on your tourney victory LoadSM5. I hope the paint breaking issue didn't get you too down. I played once outdoors in the cold and I as well broke half the paint I was shooting. I guess I'll just stick to playing indoors.

I wondered that too. But I tried it all out the day before in my back yard with good results. Certainly, the first game was due to the blended paint mess in my hopper.

I blame it largely on the cold. Like Stooks said, everyone had problems to one degree or another.

i dont understand how you guys with the sfl are brakeing paint as much as you say,iv got a 14 boomstick and i use the ss fomey bolt ,and iv shot over way over 30 case of paint in it and tom and my self went over and got it at the world cup last year,i use a rev with the x bored in it and i just had the ace put in 2 weeks ago,guys if theres anything i can do email me or call joann at agd and get my number or ill call u and we will get this ball brakeing stoped ,...///

[Hysperion]

my sfl behaved like a blender when it was cold outdoors and the velocity was around 270 while using the superbolt......now i use the standard longnose foamieless and have almost no problems indoor or outdoor....i shot 2500 rounds in the pb daves indoor 5-man tourney yesterday with not a single break.....the chrono was 250....I think the superbolt is just not that super...granted I switched because my ver.2 sb broke.....my take is that maybe the superbolt is hitting the balls too hard and accelerating them at too high a rate because it's so light and moving so quickly? granted i'm not a physics lover so I'll leave that to someone else.....and the ACE kicks A$$...

[cphilip]

Third huh? What's that? like....Second LOSER!!!!


Just kidding you.

Congrats and sorry about your trouble. Tom will get it sorted out for you if there is a technical answer on the markers end.

[Load SM5]

Hey...Hey...HEY! More comments like that little mister and you don't get to hang out with us cool kids at Mardi Gras next year. Remember the free beer?

I'm sure Tom will tell me what I need to do to get this solved. I'll see if he responds to this thread before I start the incessant phonecalling.

Thanks for all the congrats guys.

[cphilip]

Well Tom did make mention to a certain web master that he was going to have to design a Marker stupid enough for some of us...

Oh wait...FREE BEER! ummmmmm...well...never mind. I take it all back....

hmmm. blenders suck. Then again, like i told you the other day, I saw the same problems last thursday night at the leauge games. For those of you that dont know, im talking about a 3 man thursday night tourney leauge here in mobile. ANyway, long story short, last thurs it was somewhere around 30 outside. most guns were blenders. not one mag on the field. these were all cockers, (dark) angels, and a lot of lower end stuff (black draguns, ect. )

primairly proball being shot.


Jeff, i think your talking about Matt (Davis)

By the way, why did he come back to flo-town? Dj told me that he was back the other day. just wondering.

[cphilip]

That seems to be Tom's biggest hurdle in development!
