Only one issue on safety, whilst entering the first area of netting to walk towards the fields, there where a group of young kids there picking up balls, this was a live gun area and the kids had no masks on.....

I asked them to leave the area as they were putting themselves at risk by being there, they argued the toss with me, but left anyway....is there chance of putting some sort of sign up to indicate that only persons wearing a mask / protection, can enter beyond this point....so spectators new to this sort of set up dont wander in where they shouldnt be....???

im with you on this steve the same thing happened to me....and as for the sign i thought it was odd there not being one....there were many ppl passing by who just popped in to see what was going on......

One of the points I raised in my original post was the noticable absence of signs. I would believe that this will be rectified by the next event

Awesome setup all in all.

But just a few things - on the topic of signs, if there were a few clear (as in easy to read) laminated signs leading from one or two of the main roads to the events it could be quite helpful. Especially considering some of the sites are a bit off the beaten track.

Alright, time for the moment of truth - how many people drove into the big field where the jumble sale was going on thinking it was the parking lot for the tourney?? Come on now - I know some of you did!! (We did! DOH!)

Also, I reckon individual trophies wouldn't go amiss too.

It was me who decided to chrono everyone because of the simple reason that it was hot. (field 2) People where sitting around with their markers in the sun. We all Know what happens to pressure when the tanks get hot. A lot of guns where incredible hot over the chrono that day which would have otherwise gone on to the field.
Clothing checks where done like customs in airports as it would just take too much time, to check every game for layers.

Well please tell me what you think happens to the gun if the tank gets hot, And are you talking air or co2.

Gas expands when heated... therefore the pressure increases... and could potentially send some guns hot.... the pressure rise with air however is a lot less than it is with CO2...

So are you saying that if you set you marker over the chrono when you had 3000psi in your tank and then filled it up to 4500 it would jump up in fps .

 

[DANIEL]

good point the whole point of the air systems is to regulate the pressure down, the only thing a hot day should do is to decrease the amount of air in your bottle, at a given pressure

guys ur forgetting paint swells(in heat) making it a tighter fit therefore increasing velocity
