Ok so I'm old

[flyboy]

Ancient by PB standards. 49. I can't look at a picture of a bunch of people playing paintball and ID every marker, what barrell it has and who did the ano job.

Doritos are chips.

Car washes wash cars.

But suddenly I found my self running around in the woods shooting balls of paint at people and loving it. I've even played a round or 2 of speed ball. (or in my case, kinda slowly run to a back position ball, amazed I didn't get shot off the break)

So when you see an old guy at the pb store that gets a deer in the headlights look when the younger folks start muttering things about "shockers, angels, timmys.... etc..." just be patient. Mention mags and I'll come around.


Just some random musings waiting for Christmas ....

Carry on!

[geekwarrior]

hey, I personally love to see people your age out on the field!

[Dewok82]

Me too! The move slow and are easier to shoot.

[shartley]

The older you get the smarter you play.... out of need. But that is not a bad thing.

And remember, today's 60 is yesterday's 40.

I'm with you flyboy, 48 here. The next morning the knees are a little stiff, but its a blast.
My problem is that the kiddies always want to hang in the back so I usually end up charging down the center, or to a midfield position, if I make it out of the break that is.

One of these days I'm going to suprise every body and do a super man into the snake.

I might not be able to get up after I do, but it would be funny.

I wonder if I should start an "old codgers" paintball "team" with national membership, lol

[DaFin]

I am almost a youngster, about to turn 41.... But hey, 50 is the new 30, don't worry about it.

Oh and for the youngsters like Dewok.... Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.


Old guys rule.


PS: Flyboy, if you put together a team of 40+ year olds, I'm game (that is if I am old enough to join)

Pushing 46, but still hold my own out there. For the last year or so, I've been playing almost exclusively with my Sydarm. The kids laugh and point, exclaiming their ramped/bounced/computer run whatever marker will mow me down....then I hit them with one ball.

Right then, life is gooooood

hmm....i've been thinking of getting a pistol of some sort...that sounds like fun. How accurate are the pistols? are the Sibera's worth the extra $$?

Yeah. I just traded my A5 for a phantom and played pump the first time last weekend.

Loved it.

A team mate had a tag 8 he just got and I was astounded at how accurate it was. Might get one myself someday.
