First started in 1992 with my ThunderPig. Played for a couple years and only stopped because nobody in my area was playing anymore. Started back up a couple years ago with a mag.

How do you afford that!

[AlphaPaintballRef2]

Summer of '02 I think was my first time. Had gotten off of a rough relationship recently and a buddy of mine took me out for a day at a local field to shoot some people and get my mind off of things. Now I spend about 20 hours a week at the field
Started off borrowing a f-4 or '00 rf cocker. Then got an a-5 for myself a few months down the road. Heh...thinking of everything I've had since then is kind of funny...and too long to list here.

I first played in 1986. A group of 30 or so of us went. I've played at least once every year (most year's it's more) ever since. I guess you could say I'm addicted...



And no, that wasn't a typo. It was 20 years ago...

I was 16 at the time so that had to be around 1994. My first gun was a Trracer pump, and then an F2 Illustrator. I got a Classic Mag shortly after that and haven't looked back.
