I might have to go to court over my paintball course

Sounds like an easy case to me. About the biodegratabilty of paintballs, just look on the side of the box, there is plenty of info there.

What state are you in? My dad owns a fence company and I work for him, maybe I could help with legality.

Well first i hate people like that. But what you are doing with the taking pics of hi cuting trees and the cigeretes should work. My opinion i think you have a really good chance. Have fun eating them tasty paintballs

[LittlePaintballBoy]

o hate people that do that. hes probably just an old fart who doesnt want people to have fun

Dubstar112: im in new mexico. i think his fence is good as he agreed to move his fence back away from his surveyors marks since they were about 15 ft off

my friend has a neighbor like that, we have an awesome speedball field there, but it faces this guys property and his shed has gotten shot once and a few paintballs have landed in his yard... well the guy took a picture of the paintball and made a big comotion to my friends parents, so we had to put up a tarp, but thats all ripped, so we cant play there for now. Even though we offered to clean anything that went into his yard. Oh well

Call or e-mail any of the paintball companies and request a MSDS sheet for paintballs . They are required by law to provide this info.

Unfortunately, that jerk does have his rights, and will sue your Mom if he gets the chance. Another thing you gotta realize, is that your Mom (and her homeowner's insurance) can be held liable if anything goes wrong while playing there...like if someone gets hurt. Might be best to just give up the field

you could E-mail RPS or Draxxus and request info on the biodegradablity of their paint, and i would imagine they would help you out. (maybe tell them you are doing a school report or something, i dunno if they would want to help out if they knew it was for defending an outlaw field)

is your property in a sub-division or non-sub ?? if it is in a development their might be some restrictions on what you can do with your property so you might be in trouble there anyway.

something that might help would be to clearly mark the boundries of your playing field, and find out how close that is to his property line. knowing that, and how far a paintball will travel at your field FPS limit at differnt elevations would help you to present a solid argument that there is (or isnt) a chance of a bystander, inside of his property line, getting accidenttly shot, and if so, what kind of damamge could be done if a ball made it that far and hit someone or something . . .

another thing you could do would be take pictures of your playing area before you play one day, then after you play, then the same spots before you play again the next time, to help establish that the paint has no permanant, or even long lasting effects on the local plants and wildlife.

I think 888 paintball sells field netting, try getting some of that and stringing it up along your neighbors property line, that will take care of most of the paint and make you look better. The pictures are a good idea, also if you can get some documentation of that last court case he was in it will work against his credibility in court. Have someone take pictures of him waiting to get hit while you guys play too. Try tape recording conversations over the issue too, just tell him your recording it.

Find something to make his life miserable over. Did you know in some states if you leave your garbage out you can get a ticket. If he takes his garbage out a day early and puts it on the street call the cops. Its been done to us by my nosy neighbor.

[FalconGuy016]

What a freak Im sorry you have to live next to him

Im sure if you present your case close to like your post is you will win

[BajaBoy]

if i were you ide just be careful about playing. Make sure all your friends know whats going on and you should be good. Any say he does bring u to court, just make sure b4 hand the cops know whats going on (which i guess they already do)

This is what a freind of my dad did when he thought he might face stupid criminal charges. File a big lawsuit (harrasment, trespassing, or whatever you can think of)and have a lawyer call and inform him of it. Scares the heck out of lots of people and theyll drop what theyre doing.
