Hey Walt, where's the one of you with your hands in the air!

I guess it didn't come out cause it weren't in there - honest! I'd have used it.

Yeah, even the younguns where moving slow that day!

Nice Pics! Hey FatGuy could explain in more detail what was going on in the pics that you were in i couldnt see anything from the glare . Ever heard of a Hat???

Nah, I don't wear hats. I'll tell you why. All that glare, well it comes from sunlight reflecting off my dome. You know what sunlight is? Photons man, photons. Those photons bounce off my head and spread out in every direction, and when a paintball is incomming, those extra photons help deflect the balls just enough that I never get hit on the head! Yep, that's right! Plus the glare blinds the guy shooting at me.

You ever try wearing a hat when its 93 and 100% humidity out?

Actually that one of walter messing with something in the bunker...know what it was? A COCKER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Can't tell em nothing!

Yeah, I was trying to spare myself the embarassment of telling everyone my son abandoned his Mag for a cocker. THANKS PHIL!

Actually, MY bunker (the yellow one) had the hornets - that's why I'm so far back from it.

One more...I think thats Adam, Caleb and Walt from left to right (pardon the glare from Walts head)

You guys still play out there in the summer? When I was in Summerville a field owner I talked to said most everyone did not play during the summer (too darn hot and humid).

Im going the other direction my self i have so much hair that the gravitational pull brings them strat to my hair and they bounce off like it was rubber

We had the itch real bad. See in that last pic Phil posted, behind the last bunker all that empty space. Two months ago that was so think you couldn't get through it with a machette! We had doziers and graders and stuff out there, limed and fertilzed and planted seed. Airated (sp?) and sprayed kudzu. After all that work, we wanted to PLAY. So we went out and played for a bit.

It was brutal - but worth it IMHO! I had fun!

Paintball rules!

yeah some of the other guys in the club claim my personal gravity actually pulls the paintballs down over the edge of the bunker and into me - but like I said, they talk about shooting at the bight reflection, but they never HIT it! They might might my hopper or my mask, but never the helmet! I think the photon thing works! OF course I never tried to see what happens at night

Well maybe the glare creates an optical illusion causing them to shoot lower hitting your mask thats kind of the reason im making my gun so shinny is to throw peopel off

Just had a quick question. What is the "Snack Bar" made out of? It looks like tarps over framing. i was thinking of a similar idea. How well do they hold up? (if they are tarp over framing). thanks.

Many of our bunkers are made from wooden pallets fastened together into various shapes and covered with a material that is basically a vinyl impregnated cloth. We get the material from a local business that makes stuff from it. They get many many roles for free from the manufacturers for testing. The ones that fail their testing sit in the warehouse, and we occasionally get them for free. its great stuff, but quite a bit more durable than a standard tarp.

Not saying a tarp wouldn't work, I just don't know for sure.

Hey, isn't caleb (cphilip's son) carrying a cocker off
the field?

That could explain why he's out.
