      Personally - the magfed scene is what I'm being drawn towards. I'm 47 and bee playing since 1986 - but have been off for the last 10 year.

        Wanna play this fall, huh?

        Skirmish, huh? Your own back yard. Pretty convenient.

        But sometimes the grass is greener on the other side.

        Consider. You are only a couple of hours from Top Gun.

        Show up this Sunday.

        See some nifty new mags.

        Get caught up with what's been going on.

        Meet some nifty folk.

        Support a nifty cause (Hurricane Harvey relief).

        Including gas, it will still only cost about half the normal price of play at Skirmish, and almost certainly you'll have a better time.

        Hope to see you out there.

          What do yo lot suggest? I would like to play this fall, or by next spring. I live about 4 miles from Skirmish in Jim Thorpe.

          I like a man who sticks with his convictions. You know why you like Mags and let no one discourage you from your goal.

              Was thinking about ur option for tanks, 114ci! That's alot of weight to be carrying around in a hand gun all day. I'm 48 and running 68ci Ninja/Tac-One/Rotor setup. My gun weighs in just over 7 lbs. without paint and it's all I can do to lift it after 4-5hours of heavy play. It's the freaken carring the gun between the fields that Kill me. Now I've considered a tank of that size for my son and his X7 Phenom but he's running a remote line. Which I would have to say is ideal for all day play and comfort. But I'd have to recommend 90ci Ninja SL with SHP Reg. to have the best combination for both single day play and scenarios. Should be more than enough to get you through for a large scale scenario with minimal refills and still be able to shoulder it with the right drop forward. I'm sure others can shed more light on the subject.

                I do not agree with SHP tanks, too many problems with going that high of a pressure.

                Anyway, the biggest 2 changes in paintball are: 1) air fills at fields. Most fields now support HPA and most do all day air. With multiple air stations around, you do not need to have that much air on hand. 2) the efficiency of a mag is always be poor, but with air more readily accessible, having enough air for the paint you carry is much easier prospect.

                Also, as a side note. The less pressure you put into a mag, the more efficient it will be. So to those that dump 1100+psi from a SHP reg, gets crappy efficieny. While putting in 650-700psi can get much better numbers.

                  I, on the other hand, want to play again before I lay down. But here's the problem:
