6. Does your local paintball arena have a Pro shop?

7. What do you look for in a Pro shop?

Good product availability and fair prices. I'm happy to pay more to buy locally, but at least in the Minneapolis area the prices feel anything other than fair.

8. What do you look for in a paintball arena?

Fair prices. Good knowledgable refs are also very important. Again, "fair" is not "cheap". I'm happy to pay a fira price. But I think it's out of hand to pay $2 per 1kpsi on a HPA fill (for example).

ReTro Minimag, very customized.

Sort of, I did the transaction online, but I purchased it from Steve Distad of Aerostar in WI, who is the vendor at Paintball Sam's Big Games.

b) No

I custom ordered my gun with colored parts through Aerostar from AGD.

Terrible customer service from places liek paintballgear.com. If you want bad stories, just ask.
