Illinois Pump Paintball Players...

[SMG]

I am a long time player and have been getting interested in playing some pump games. Does anyone know of any Illinois groups who still play pump games? I play mostly at Badlandz and PBShooters.

Thanks.

I was just at pbshooters last Wednesday for adult swim ($15 BYOP from 6-10) and I'd like to head down to badlandz sometime this summer (also play at fox paintball)... And I actually had MrJiggers from pbnation playing with me (he was using an sl68-ii).

I play pump/stock class (VSC phantom) almost exclusively. I may be picking up a freestyle or something soon, but I'll always be up for some pump play.

If you have AOL instant messenger go ahead and IM me... My AIM name is: Tyler Donovan

I saw you at PBShooters. I was shooting the silver Speed and was with the guy with the blue A4. Actually, seeing you guys playing pump made me want to start again. I have a SL-68 II.

IIRC, Sudden Impact in the Bloomington/Normal area is having a pump tourny sometime this summer, if intrested I could probly get more details, but thats all I know.

Thanks...

Thanks, bu t Normal is too far for me, I am in Chicago. I think there is a pump tournament at PBShooters, but I am not sure when.

It is so much fun to play with pumps on a speedball/supair field. I am not a huge fan of pump games in the woods, but that is just me. We should get a group of 10-15 guys and do a private game/outing at Badlandz.

I'd be all for this.

I actually agree... Pumps are more fun for me in speedball than in the woods. And I definitely remember you, and glad to see you interested in playing pump...

PBshooters is supposed to be having a pump only tournament in October... Tyger from Webdog Radio posted a bunch of stuff about it, but I could probably talk to the owner next time I'm there. I actually heard that even big pump teams from the West coast are planning on showing up.

As for a private game at badlandz, I'd definitely be down for that. An easy way to do that might actually be to declare the group of us a team and just play eachother on the speedball fields for a "team practice". That way we can play at our own pace and we won't have to buy/use field paint like the private gamers do.

The "Team Practice" thing sounds like a good idea. Badlandz has so many good fields. We should try setting something up in early September so people can get it on their calendars and we can get enough people to have decent games.

I will probably be out at PBShooters again on Weds. but it depends how busy I get at work.

So that was you that walked up to the flag station at Paintball Sams for their scenario and pulled a marker out of his pants????

If it was you're lucky my friend tagged you out and the ref's took you out of the game. You had about 35 guns pointed at you when you pulled that marker out.

At least know we know it was a marker .... and that you weren't happy to see anyone.

lol if i at least got 1 person, it would have been worth it (it was a pump marker if anyone was wondering )

you make it sound like i was escorted out of the game lol. Harry called me out because i was hiding my marker in my pants. then i was reinserted

PB Shooters pump only tournament. October 10th. I actually posted it here, , where it's got the whole 'dilly yo. I'll bug PB Shooters about the specifics ASAP. I DO know for fact 3 teams are flying in from CALIFORNIA to play in it.

Fox River Games has a standing offer, if we want to play pump. We can do so there. If you guys want to meet on a weekend, I'll make a few calls and make it happen. Same price as Badlands, BYOP, and they like pump play. THEY HAVE PUMP RENTALS!!! And the field manager wants to play pump too.

I'm all for ANY excuse to break out the Phantom too. Just not this weekend, I'm kinda busy.
