Yeah I know about the dry firing issue.
I do alot of marker repairs from my home office and shoot them all the time, about 5 seconds later she comes in to give me the "Don't do it again" look

She has been with me once and got shot while she was observing, it gave her a nice size welt so she won't even try it now.

She is not rely that type of person I guess, she keeps telling me she is an "indoor girl"

Take her to a indoor feild then

And I don't have a wife but my mom dosn't mind me playing, she knows this means alot to me and supports me... She just dosen't like me buying so much stuff online thinking I'm going to get ripped off, I already have been ripped off 2 times and she said one more time and I'm not going to be able to trade anymore...

wife.... nope i was never crazy enough to get one of them.... besides.... i already got kids (twin 7y/o girls that never seem to stop talking.... oh asprin my savior) =)

now my mom actually is glad that i play.... other then work or keeping my rugrats entertained... paintball is about the only time i'm out of the house anymore.... and is probly the only real excercise i get..... i keep tellin her i'm gonna get the kids playin in a few years... she is not to fond of the idea.. so for now i let them shoot at targets in the backyard.... and they know not to touch my markers unless i'm there even then they wont unless i hand it to them....

speaking of which its time to put them 2 bed for the night... the head back down to capecod for yet another 2 weeks with my mom..... god bless summer vacation =) the quietest time of the year in my house

My wife is playing for the first time...

She's playing with my friends and I this weekend on a private field. This setting is probably more comfortable for her (vs a regular field) as she has met a few of the players.

I've done my best to get her ready. Equipment-wise she's set. I bought her a new (used) marker and tank. I showed her how to fire it. I tried to get her a pr of BDUs but she just laughed at me... Any other advise for us?

I'm pretty excited. I hope this is something we can do together in the future. I'll let you know how it goes.

don't got a wife, but my mom is fine with me playing. Just once when she was watching a tourney I was running up to bunker this guy and she screamed " That's not NICE!!" after the game she was telling me how mean i was and that i play 'cheap'
My dad is quiet and says paintball is 'stupid' Yet after i got my warp feed he loves my gun. He jsut walked into my room, picked it up, and started snap shooting behind my dresser. He's learned well -- like son, like father, right?
I'm close to getting him to play.
My 28 year old sister has been playin since the 80s, and shoots an old school mag.
ah well.
my g/f plays paintball and loves it.

if only sh'ed dump her cocker and get a mag, our realationship would deepen greatly ( or is it that opposites attract? )

**AcemanPB** · 06-29-2002, 10:31 PM

lol ...... "wife" thats a scary thought (i'm 16)

my dad likes paintball, i can't get him to stop shooting my mag in the backyard..

my mom thinks i'm better off throwing dollar bills at people, but I tell her to be glad i'm spending it on paintball instead of drugs are some crap like that

**RTMAGBOY13** · 06-29-2002, 10:40 PM

my g/f feels jealous haha

**Mike72** · 06-30-2002, 07:27 PM

My wife supports my habbit in fact she just let me get my first Automag off this very site. So yes she supports my habbit I just wish she didn't work so much that she could go with me. Hell now that I think about it she supports most of my expensive habbits guess I got a good one.

My wife is certain that I'm obsessed. I take my nephew, but my kids aren't really interested right now. My wife is interested in shooting certain people, but heaven forbid she be shot.
