[killer_westy]

ive been playing for about 3-4 months, and ive gone to freekz a sup-air field, and been to sab, which is woodsball but also has some sup-air bunkers, i wanted to get straight into a team, but instead, im going to play koth, koth is like for novice people, other people hire out pmr etc, but there are other teams, but im seeing it as more exp, and getting use to a sup-air field

hope this helps

cheers but i still cannot make my mind up which one to do

Not certain but I think its the ionman tournaments that does a mixture of woodsball and sup'air. Both have their good points and bad points, most people on here will probably say go for supair but you'll just have to decide what you enjoy more.

Try all of them and see which one is your favourite.

But as for a marker, i'd go for a more tourny type marker (an electro) As these can be happily used in sup'air and will find themselves at home in the woods.

Whereas a woodsball type marker (say a tippmann 98 etc) would be good in the woods but totally outclassed on a sup'air field.

hope it helps

my personal opinion is go for supair

etek or ego 5/6 for a cheap budget, pmr, ion for super cheap budget but if you have more to spend then perhaps an angel a1 or ego 07/08. as said you'd be wanting an electronic marker for both supair and woodsball but a mech woodsball marker is no good for supair. buy once and get the best of both worlds. check woodsball sites local to you can supply air (electronic markers are a big no no on co2). 1st of all though get a good pair of goggles.

Spot on. These must be the first thing on your shopping list, above anything else. Try them on before you buy as well, don't just go for looks.

I personally say woodsball/scenario, but that's just because I don't like sup'air, not fun for me.
