Just something I wanted to clear up: all markers have adjustable velocity so you don't have to worry about that when you purchase yours. Your local site should have a chronograph for you to set yours up on (it's usually just a matter of turning a screw until it shoots the desired velocity). It sounds like you're really into your woodsball, but since you'll be using HPA you might want to look into electronic markers, as they are great for both woods and sup'air ball if you ever decide you want to give speedball a try. Tippmans are great markers though, as has been said. Halos and Reloaders are both good hoppers, although if you're going to be playing long woodsball games getting your hoppers eyes dirty (unlikely but it can happen) would be more hassle, so a reloader might save some trouble there. As for knee and elbow pads, think light and comfortable, and try on a friend's jersey if you get a chance: staying cool and comfortable makes a huge difference to your play since you won't get tired so easily. The classifieds section on here has some great deals for quality 2nd hand gear (I got nearly all mine off here) if you want to save some cash. Anyway, welcome!
after all this time im just renting it ?
