Time to go crazy shooting with my bushy without worrying that i'm running out of balls soon (most of the time we're paying like $65 for a case and splitting between 3-4 of us to keep price down).

chris for HPA fills buy a fill station from xpaintball or somthing and just buy a couple of scuba tanks. you can get the scubas filled for like five bucks at a dive shop and you get roughly 10 fills from 1.

hey now, what's all this?! are you people trying to take away what little I have? Look if you all start buying 4-5 cases of paint like me, what am I going to be good for? It's like being castrated or something...

[sps16]

Yea, thats probably what their going to do, but as of now the owners know jack about paintball. I must educate them

[ZAust]

well, every discount ive gotten has been fivefinger.. but we wont talk about that. chris, would your boss be interested in hiring me as a secongd pb consultant?

[sps16]

probably not

O_o theres an ACE hardware in Stockton that sells a nice selection of paintball equipment. And their paint is cheap, like $30 for big ball and $39 for pmi premium. Not too shabby. Most other places have like zap for $50 and stuff.

Now, about the WC ace, I guarantee if they get brass eagle stuff it will rot on the shelf. That is for people who don't know better, and they tend to be looking at sporting goods stores and Wal Mart. Get the "hook" and some decent low-mid quality stuff (Spyder, Tippman, etc.) Make the paint a break even thing to get em in the door, or a few bucks profit). Once they are there they are gonna wanna buy something else, so you can start adding stuff like barrels, goggles, etc.

Just my $.02, what the hell do I know about running a business

[sps16]

yea, thats an excellent plan, although i'm not sure if they'd be up for an outside vendor, instead of getting things from ace corp. He hasn't made a descion yet, hes waiting on my visit to ace in stockton. So we'll see, btw where do you leave ryan?

Steel - You do any fishing in the Delta?? Come Oct, Nov, and Dec, I take my boat almost every weekend to Antioch and Rio Vista to fish for stripers.

Just to make myself clear:
Stripers = Fish
Strippers = lapdance

[sps16]

Going fishing today

[ZAust]

i honestly dont see the attraction in fishin.. it looks like the most boring activity on the face of the earth, worse than watching grass grow and the as play

[LittlePaintballBoy]

i dont know man.





















watching grass grow is pretty fun

[O_o]

But that's the joy of it, stalking and waiting. When the fish hits, it's like BAM !


Dang, Ace allllll the way in stockton. That's an hour drive away from me. I'd really love to get some of that big ball for $30 a case.
