indeed, needs testing in june 2008. some dive shops wont test fibre wrapped bottles, but most will be able to recomend somewhere.

hpac is the most well know in the paintball trade, but you may be able to find cheaper elsewhere

There is a change over point, around mid 2003 when the test date frequency changed from 3 year to 5 year for the first test.
I would ring hpac, as they will be able to tell you.
To be honest i would get it tested next year to be safe, as you don't want to go to a tourney, and the powers that be refuse to fill it.

test should be 5 years, as mine is the same date, and hpac told me 5, i think it can relate to the manufacturer as much as anything as certain hse bottles can change from a 3 year test to 5 after retesting but others can not
