Cheers magic thats a great help. Just one quick question....wat do you mean by tapes? Just with me being new to this dont understand all the terms yet!

Its just a small local 10 team league on a new site so he wants to see what people think of site. But its been played at night under floodlights!!!! Should be interesting!

that should be an awesome tournament, small 10 teams under floodlights - sounds brilliant.

Tapes/Wires are the edges of the field. Left tape and right tape = left and right hand side of the field. Watching these means you can stop people running down your flank and gunning your guys out from the side. They are normally best watched from large "Stand Up" Style bunkers at the back corners of the field.

Any more questions, feel free to ask mate :) Everyone here is usually only too happy to help

Magic, you're a legend

Cheers for explaining magic! Can you recommend any paintballs? We have tried 3 different kinds; Shrapnel, Spank and Rampage. The shrapnel were what you would describe as pants! Had more chopped than fire! Spank and Rampage were better. Just thought id see if you knew any decent ones?

My team shot spank this winter in sub zero conditions, but now its getting slightly warmer its pretty much useless. It really depends what gun and stuff your using, but I always found that Zap Proball and Draxxus Rec Sport worked like a charm through my cocker. I would highly recommend both of those paints for training and even tournaments if you're on a budget. U need to try out a variety of different things and find what works best in what conditions through your set up :)

we used blaze at the rescent masters event and was shooting it through angels ( G7 flys , 06 Speeds ) and ego's and i think we had 1 barrel break all day off 3 or 4 boxes.
Other paint we used at south west KOTH aswell was toro ball it is the best paint i have ever used for cold weather and no flat spots on it.
Wen it gets warmer try Xball bronze or silver, cronic , evil etc all good paints.
