wow

that is a long story, but here goes:

Larry Castio starts WSG (Warrior Sports Gear).

He sells a LOT of product.

Paintball Inc buys his brand to help compete with the Redz/32deg stuff from NPBS

Well then Paintball Inc goes out of business

So where is WSG? Well Larry is still in Greenville, SC and is still working on product.

The same great products and ingenuity should be back, Larry is cool that way.

although it shouldn't come back under the name of WSG as Larry left PB Inc before it went under and PBInc still owned hte rights to Warrior Sports Gear. Larry is now doing his own insurance comapny (the main reason PB Inc brought him in) for pball businesses. I doubt he'll do another WSG any time soon. Word has it he's having little success with his insurance stuff...

He is still making netting and barrel codoms under the name "(something) Warrior Sports" . And he is still around thats for certain and so is the business end of it. Products included. He was out at Gold Dragon playing this weekend as a matter of fact. Also he was supposed to sponsor at SE AO day and be out there but something came up and he backed out at the last moment.

But contrary to common rumor the Business part of Warrior Sports did maintain it's seperate status (somehow, don't ask me how) when Paintball Inc filed Chapter 11 and it continues to produce some products under it's own name according to him. He sent his business card to me through my Kid this weekend and he was playing Paintball with my Kid this weekend as well.

I will give him a call tomorrow and see if I can get him to come on AO and explain himself and tell us where he is heading with his product and line. Sound good?

He is in Fountain Inn SC according to this new business card he is giving out. Thats around Greenville area anyway.

Sorry fro the long delay in response. I did in fact tell Larry he should get on here and run some posts, but at this time he said he's been swamped running (either he said 2 or 3) businesses. Ahh well, maybe he can find time for us another day.

Here is his site though
