wow! how things have changed

The field I worked at as well as other local fields were headed this way. It is a very smart business decision. I calculated a very significant cost savings by going to all HPA.

the only possible downside is if you end up having compressor issues on a busy day, but an agreement with a local shop to borrow some tanks if needed or having a larger bulk tank bank is a simple solution.

This was news to me, as Hell Survivors' is my home field, so I called and talked to someone at the pro-shop. I haven't used Co2 in years but thought they still had it on site. According to the manager that picked up at Exotic Sports Pinkney (Hell's pro-shop just down the road) he said it is no longer available at the field but they still have it at the pro-shop in case anyone needs it. It would be a little bit of a hassle, as the pro-shop is about 1/2 mile down the road, but at least their is an option close by.

That is what there web page says as well.

And I totally understand the overwhelming change. Playing up with justice in march. A group of HS kids. I'm guessing seniors. Were staging next to us. One of the guys made a comment about how nice the HPA was. I responded back. Come to find out it was his first day of play with hpa. I laughed and TLD him welcome to the light. That group of kids was all pretty good players too.

my only problem with not having the co2 option is what if you had an smg 60 you wanted to play with or something similar, they run on liquid co2 do they not?

Or an original Tippman 68 special, which also runs on liquid CO2.

Running HPA on the rental equipment must be easier for the techs to keep up on oring since they aren't getting frozen and unfrozen over and over again, and they can divert all the traffic to the self fill station which if I remember correctly has about 5 4.5k fill lines and as many 3k fill lines, instead of just 1 CO2 station for all the rentals and and all the others using CO2 as well.
