    By the way, if anybody is interested in a half a skid of it, shoot me a PM, have a great deal on the tourney grade paint.

    Paint came in today. No broken balls, and im guessing i got some of the UltraFyre. We will be playing with it next sat, and i will let you know how it goes.

      Sounds about right. I didn't think we used the tiger stripe anymore. Actually, all our manufacturing has moved stateside.

      Let me know how it shoots after you've let it sit for a few days. The story I"m getting from the factory right now is that the shell seems to be fairly sensitive to travel, but should settle out if stored in a cool and dry environment for a few days. I haven't had any for myself yet.

      In the future, I do offer better pricing than the website, so feel free to hit me up when you need more.

        will do. i have always liked fyre for the price and quality. shoots real well and has a nice bright thick fill. will hit you up in a couple of months when this case runs dry

          Shot the ulra fyre sat, and it did just fine. I was a bit worried about the shell, it looked kind of faded (like plastic that sat in the sun to long). Shot great, no chops, super thick fill.

            same here. just went through a bag of it today and it shot pretty good. didn't seem to have very many bounces even with the harder shell. i think a few days in the deep freeze helped it out but the humidity and heat today brought it right back to size. i always enjoyed APX fyre paint.

                        Stevewar,

                        I'll be shooting you a PM on that. Unfortunately we are out of all clearance gear.

                              Thanks man! I'll post back with a review.

                              *UPDATE*

                              I received the package a day earlier than expected, packed well in styrofoam peanuts. I had zero broken paint upon arrival. I took the paint out to play last Saturday. The weather was cool (60*) with low humidity. The paint worked well throughout the day in both my Tac 1 with Qloader and in my buddy's X7 Phenom and I had zero breaks in both markers through the day.

                              Thanks for the great service and product! I'll definitely buy again.
