I have... and I have and do participate materially in the running of a business, technically multiples. The thing is, even college classes teach you to not make up wild accusations against companies just because they are successful, especially when the heads of there competitions have publically stated that there actions were not the only cause of a discontinuation of a line. You can have a theory, but it helps when you back it up with accurate information, you, in blaming SP for the demise of the E-mag, fail to do that, and fail to consider TKs statement that SP was not "THE REASON THAT AGD DOSNT MAKE EMAGS ANY MORE REMEMBER!".

I'm sure your college also offers courses on base logic - you might look into those

Anyway, Im back after a few months of no computer...(long story) Im also a member on stock class paintball.com and Ive decided to get pretty serious about this, with some help from them. I can make shirts for about 3-7 dollars each custom 1;s for individuals more. All I really need is customers and a little start up money, which I'll probably get soon, another freind of mine is currently working on a website as soon as we figure out prices, income,expenses etc.

Were Planning on having a monthly contest to see which poster in SCP and AO can come up with the best slogan for a shirt. The Winner will get a free one...fairly simple...

keep me posted on Ideas, slogans etc.

"2. Any stock/modified pump/pump players out there? If so me+friends wanna focus on developing new gear/accesories for stock/pump"

OMG yes!!!
I play stock and pump class all the time now, and would love to get a coustom jersey and barrel cover for my Palmer PGP. Best of luck, and PM me if you do start making pump stuff.

wow never thought of that...........couldnt we just have people sign something such as a waiver and put up a warning on the products?

No.

If you are doing anything safety related make sure it works and you have insurance.

The last blinding in paintball... was actually through a barrel condom that failed.

Well, if you get these products up and get a few vids of them standing up to the stress of a few shots, I dont see why they wont be OK sellers. Talk to a few local paintball fields and see if they would be willing to invest.

Investments are what get small PB companies off the ground. I ran a very small airsmithing service out of my Garage for a while (maybe 2-3 guns a month) and I figured out that I was starting to get a bit more business, so I talked to a few businesses and they have helped me advertise a bit. I now get around 15 guns a month.

I will see if I will be able to buy one, I will do a few tests, maybe some extra vids, and show people that you didnt just make a single good one to test with. And good customer feedback is always a must.

As for names, I like the "Ball Busting Gear" or "Ball Busting Ballin' "

YEAH STOCKERS UNITE! anyway, I'm gonna start off with shirts that say either "Ball Buster Paintballs" or a Catchy Slogan. "Special" 1's will have little bandalier style loops on the sleeves. If I can find some good quality meshy material, I'll make the "stocker" and regular jersey. Stockers will have a secret compartment for 10 rnd used caps and loops for 10 round tubes and 12 grams. Regular will feature a little more padding, a battle swab loop (maybe for stockers depending on the cost of each 1) and a little slide for game clocks, radios, etc.

I'll let ya know.Any help finding mesh would be much appreciated!

Please do. But you have to make the pocket convenient or else i would jsut us my pocket. My advice would be kind of a cargo pocket. Make it big enough so you hand wont get caught in there if you are wearing gloves

Yeah man I know the feeling...I was thinking either the front pouch-like-thing (would that look wierd??) or maybe off to the side. Do you want custom names on the back or would that make it 2 expensive? Remember I can always do custom team names or colors.

[Magman99]

Alright I did a few tests... I can do an all green (or black or white) shirt long or short sleeve thats says "Ball buster Paintballs" on the front, with a paintball splat below it, on the back there it says (name) then "I NEED A SPONSOR!" then underneath (WEBSITE)( not determined name) for somewhere between 15-20$



Let me know my supplier says BUY IN BULK so I keep postin ideas...
