Yes… end of an era. Bye bye paintball. There’s no turning back now because my beautiful red Ton Ton Shocker is…SOLD!Okay… I’d only sell my Ton Ton for this price for a few people I know. The few people – close friends. And our little friend Ryan (14) was the right person to trust who’d take care of my ‘baby’. He’d also have two Shocker Geeks to watch over every little detail ready to ‘tech’ the

Dale, Dean, and Ryan had another great day of paintball at Conquest despite the warm weather which caught up to Dale and Ryan. We all used RPS premium with pink fill. It worked great. Nothing can replace Anrachy's thick and bright fill though. Due to a late start we missed the first game but were able to play the second. Ryan and Dale ran to the left teepee but not for long because our team tore

Well... not Frazier... But my TonTonShocker. It felt like bolt stick so I took the bolt out and greased it. Well, when I took the bolt off it was very difficult to unscrew with the allen wrench. When I put it back on, it was difficult to screw back in as well. Then it didn't go all the way and I desparately tried to lock it. Dale tried and then it stripped! So now the back of the bolt is stuck in

Dale, Dean, and Ryan were ready for another day at Conquest. Overall it was a tough day for Team Ripfactor.The weather was sunny, cool, and windy. The wind was great until we got to River field.Jon, the field manager, decided to play and he was team Ripfactors main opponent.The day started out on the Tournament field. Dale got eliminated early (a sign that a hard day for Dale is coming! ). Dean

Sunday, November 13 2005.Q: What did the fat kid newbie keep saying on the Speedball field?A: "Foo!"(Slang for "Fool")(About 100 times!)Those of you who were there know what I mean! - HaNuff said.

Paintball that is.Could the weather be any more perfect than it was on Sunday? I think not. Could anything else like being checked for ramping or lack of ‘vision’ on my Shocker stop me from having a great day? Not really. Could a ShockerRack be

Suddenly, he's gone. Gone from Conquest Paintball Park. The probing questions I asked one of the refs didn't lead to any information other than, 'He moved on'.But we had our suspicions. We knew what was up. And it only took a matter of a few days before pictures of Sonny appeared and now we can go play at the paintball field where the best ref is refing. Is refing a word? Or is it reffing?From an

So what happened on Sunday?Good day as all of us, Ryan, Dean, Dale, Steve, Chip and I got together for some paintball.Bad day for Dale as he forgot his paint but brought mine.Bad day for Dale as his new backup shocker went down with the normal headaches a shocker gives you at first. FSDO, air consumption, etc. Welcome back to the good old days Dale!Chip, Ryan, Steve and I played the Vietnam field

The weather was great for paintball, too bad only Dean, Dale, and Ryan showed. Here are some of the highlights for Sunday.There was not too many people there which was good.The day started off with Ryan's Ion not working which was bad but the generous help from Dale and Dean was great. They almost fixed it. Thanks again Dale and Dean for all of your help..We had to make the best of the situation

Even 13 year old Ryan had to give way to the heat and leave a game early for some water.

Most people would probably react with a look of ‘are you crazy or something’ expression on their face. Most would just repeat what I just said in the form of a question to make sure what they heard was right.“I’m playing paintball on Sunday”, is all I have to say.Not because Playing paintball is such a crazy thing. But because we’ve been fighting 90-100 degree weather here in So.Cal with extreme

Dean, Dale and Steve went to Conquest on Saturday. It was crowded with a couple of private games, a tourney team practicing and the walkons. Here are some of the highlights...Dean showed up before 11:00 AMDale put his trust in the local news weatherman and didn't bring the tent (Dean showed signs of heat exhaustion towards the end of the day)Quote from Dean after some paint got through his mask,

Weekend Wrapup...CONQUEST PAINTBALL PARK5/22/2005It was hot. Damn hot. And after coming off a two month layoff, an 8:00 AM heatwave doesn't help the motivation factor to get up and go play paintball under the sun. But I did.I drank so much water and gatorade that I stopped counting after five on how many times I went pee when I got home. It became a hassle getting off the couch during my X-Box

Here’s the deal. You own a marker that you spent over a grand on. It is capable of shooting up to 30 balls per second and is as light as a feather. The accuracy of snap shooting is greatly improved, your confidence sky-rockets as you dominate the game, and you dish out paint like a sponsored pro. And that’s where the dilemma ends and begins.Don’t put your marker through the burden of crappy paint

Finally decided to head to Conquest Paintball park. The main road has been closed since the rains washed away a bridge in February. Before that, we had been going to Conquest at least twice a month for the past seven months.After asking around on some paintball forums, I heard that the detour would add about 20-25 minutes to my drive time. That didn't seem like too much, but I was skeptical after
