Help me out here.......

i didnt sense any sarcasm in your previous post and i do agree with you. just a question , how much does safety netting run$$$$?

[punkncat]

I really wasn't trying to be sarcastic. This situation is dead on serious and so am I.

I want to stress the fact that this whole situation is the kind of thing that gets out of hand and starts causing problems for the paintball community as a whole. Just a very minor difference in the way that all came out and there would have been police, reporters, heck just a little worse and you guys could have single handedly been responsible for a change in the law regarding paintball in your area.

Understand, there are loads of people out there with a hardon to shut paintball down. This is just the kind of ammunition they need to help their cause.

If you say you are responsible enough to have games on your 40 acres, then show it by enforcing minimum safety rules so things like this can't happen. Just like the poster above said. Your parents are the ones who really lose. And worse other paintballers stand to lose. I don't live in your area, but it would piss me off to see the sport take a hit for y'alls carelessness.

for one, yes accidents do happen but it wouldnt have been us guys, it would have been the d-bags fualt that thought it was smart to shoot at unmasked people, and if anyone did get hurt he would have gotten thte hell beat out of him. i would like to have had more control over what happenned but i didnt.
by the way do you know how much safety netting is?

"it would have been the &-&^%$ fault that thought it was smart to shoot at unmasked people"
You still missed the point. Fault would lie with the owner of the field/land whatnot as it's ultimately up to them to make/enforce policies...just be glad it's done and move on.

i understand what you mean about the safety, but how did paintball start,.... if it wasnt for your weekend games how would people even get into paintball in the first place. and about shooting into an unmasked group, we arent seven years old and a i thought that a person that is sixteen would have enough sense not to do it....guess i was wrong needless to say he wont be allowed over again...
by the way dont really appreciate the sarcastic input. thanks

You're not going to make it very far here with that attitude.

Here's the solution.
Stop holding tournies at your house.

back in the day when we played at my house... the last group of people that did stuff like that... is scared to even come around my house anymore... they about got the **** beat out of them... they were cowering behind a computer and stereo i took out to my garage for music... i have never seen them anywhere near here in over 7 yrs

i wouldnt have payed him crap thats for shure. thats a "you get the hell off my property or i have the police bodily remove you"

[peewee]

If its on your property in the future go thru the safety regs before anyone plays!! Have you ever played at a real field? Almost all fields have to give a safety orientation prior to play. I would recommend that you do the same.
