1992 - got invited on a punter day organised by my m8s work. It was at the Arena Essex site - pumps with stickfeeds, 12gramme CO2 and builders goggles.

Really enjoyed it and organised another trip myself a couple of months later, this time to Mayhem Abridge. While we were there a couple of teams were practising - and as they walked off one of my friends recognised someone he used to work with - they start chatting, we get invited to a team training day at Westpoint and next thing you know we're all in a team

Spooky co-incidence - one of the blokes who marshalled at Arena Essex the first time I played is on the same team as me now. Small world.

Twisted formed from 1 single Punter Hunt at the allied command site in knutsford, this was about 2 and a half years ago probally closer to 2 years . We started off by just wanting to get our own markers and paint so it didnt cost us as much to play but little did we know once you pop and all that. but one of the secrets to Twisted's sucess is that we were a group of friends just havin fun this makes training alot easier and issues in the team get handled. Like Jim if you read this your Sacked as team Cpt mate sorry but your just a twat. see easy peasy,

All the best

Your telling me this is not www.sleepwithyourrelatives.org and we're not talking about incest, damn.
With all the talk of playing ball with your old man, playing back and a user called Joe bob I thought it was.

First time I played was back in 1985 with a group of friends from where I worked at the time. We were out in the backwoods of Virginia shooting each other with PGPs and wearing shop style masks. I remember that the paint was ungodly expensive at the time. $4.00 per 10 round tube. Ouch!
