Ok so I'm old

[craltal]

shoulda bought it... it was the best Chimera I did.

hmmm, well when I get my frame from rogue (blasted mail carriers, making me wait...) maybe we can see if you can make a better one...

[peewee]

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

But usually we have "bounce factor".

my dad's 51 and he;s out plauying with our woods team every weekend, actually h's probaly one of the most feared shots on the field, now ifd only I can get him to come out and play some speedball.

For once, I need to get off of other people's lawns.

i have only played 2 outlaw games with people over like 18. It was cool though. All guys playing with their sons. Really cool. I only wish I could get a gun for my dad and get him into it. And for the 40+ club I am going with my friend and his dad on friday and his dad is actually into it.

I'm with you flyboy, 48 here. The next morning the knees are a little stiff, but its a blast.

Hey, I'm 17 and my knees/legs are stiff and sore the next morning too. Two and a half weeks ago, I hadn't been paintballing in a long time, and the next day I could barely walk.(I was doing alot of sliding on my knees tho...)

I'm 42 and have been playing off and on since 1989. I play some speedball but prefer woodsball.

In speedball the kids laugh and point right up to the moment I goggle them or end up heads up against the last opponent. It certainly doesn't happen every game but it is sweet!

In woodsball we old timers are should be feared. My favorite is to use superior tactics and mind tricks against the youngsters. "C'mon man let's go down this trail and get em!" "If we wait here, youngster, they'll come right down this trail and we will cut them up. Why run when we can let them run into us! Patience."

Well I have a fake right hip, a pin in my righ elbow, marginal diabetes and arthritis.

So i guess knee problems qualify.

Whoa dude you got full certifacation as allowance of using the term "I'm old!"

[paintballfiend]

Ehhhh, old people smell like Bengay (sp?).
Mix in the smell of paintballs and you got one reaking old person. j/k

In April I'll be the big 5-0 and my mom is 75. I play and she doesnt.
But my two sons played for the first time last saturday.
When we were done the 23 year old said we should play again next saturday. LOL
Why sure we should do it every saturday, it only costed me $140.00.

replying to original post!!!

Heck i'm 25 and I get confused at the stuff too ... if its not something I started to play with 10 years ago ... I couldn't tell you the difference either ...

Mention something about a mag, pump, or a spyder. and you got my attention. beyond that i'm lost.


I may be younger but I'm still pretty sore the day after I play too ... if you not sore you didn't play hard enough
