Excellent start to the story Pete although I feel the need to address allegations about running hot Splatmaster pistols. Whilst they may have been lightly tuned to a modest 360fps I have to confess this did cause some alarm in visiting teams camps. Notably the Bart Stud Squad and then the newly formed Predators when they visited us at our Canterbury site. We used to change 12grm after five/seven shots which combined with the light tune gave the shooter the satisfaction of using paintball's version of a .44 magnum.

Christ - is that "Wing Commander Setters"? I believe that was the epithet you tried to go by in a bar or two in Nashville. I'm getting old now but I think it was about 1993

This is awesome to read! Getting an insight into the roots of a sport that is a lot bigger than I realised until a year or two ago!

Robbo has been through it all too and very eloquent in his writing.
Paintball a History, so when is it publishing in WH Smith Pete?

'Eloquent in his writing" ???
My, my Shell, flattery will get you everywhere but the thought of putting finger-tips to keyboard is a little too daunting for me and maybe I'll have to swerve authoring such a history and settle for all the articles in PGi and the posts in here.
It hi k the world of paintball have already heard far too much from me.
'Less is more' comes to mind but thanks for the vote of confidence anyways mate.
