Thanks for the info guys, I guess il wait till the end of season then, as I said their is no rush in buying, I'd rather spend my money wisely than blow it for the sake of it.
if you are sticking to the woods the tippmann a5 with response trigger and a flatline will give you a nice easy marker as the hopper and the trigger work off air so no need for batteries. the only downside is a tad air hungry and is not much use on a tourney field.
have you had your hands on anything or shot any? my moto is try before you buy.
