I think we just found a way to paint the boat and get all the volunteers we need.

No, I take paintball seriously and I hate all those kids who go out and shoot people with paintball guns for fun, it just sheds a bad light on us that play it competitively so everyone thinks all paintball players do is shoot other people. Out here some stupid kids shot some lady in the eye and the paintballers hosted a charity tournament where all the entry money went for her hospital bills.

P.S. sorry for getting off topic.

I play sometimes, too.  I have a Tipmann Custom 98 with response trigger, but even with the expansion chabber, it still freezes up the piston.  :'( I want to try it with HPA.

Have any of you been to Oklahoma D-Day, yet?  I went in 2006 and that was a blast.

No I have not been to D-Day yet but I want to go really bad! I have heard stories from guys out here who have gone though and it sounds like a blast.

Travis, Mark S

I see a field trip comming up.  I have only gone once and had a blast.  I was not able to get into it any more then that due to relationship issues that have now been rectified....

I'll have to see if my brother and my friend, Gavin, plan on going this year.  It's the first weekend of June (obviously).  I think registration has to be done by end of April, but I'll look into all of that.  They usually stay acorss the border in MO in a hotel, making the drive to the field about 20 minutes.  Usually they cram 4 or 5 guys into one room, but I thought it was too crowded.  I'd be fine with 2 or 3 people.

Guys, forgive me for playing bad cop here.  I actually wanted to test out the ability to split topics and then move topics.  The education was done at your expense.  Knowing how to do this stuff will be useful down the road.

So thanks for the learning experience, and please continue with the paintball talk!

Lance, thanks for doing that. I wanted to stop posting in the 40mm topic, as I knew paintball had nothing to do with it. So thanks again. :)

I just wanted to show you guys the kind of paintball I play, and how big the sport has grown, it is now a college sport being televised on Fox college sports, and Fox Sports net.

Oklahoma State has a team now, and I am going to try and get on it,  ;)
