I would like to know your thoughts about a few points raised at the recent Series 2005 event at Ancaster.
These points are not a rant at players I just want your thoughts!!
Why when the site owner supplies - rubbish bins - every team table with a bin bag - a massive trailer to put empty boxes in - do players still drop their rubbish on the floor instead of using , bin bags, empty paint boxes or the bins supplied? At home after they have finished their evening meal do they tip any food left on the floor and then walk it into the carpet and leave it for someone else to clean up. Some teams cleaned everything including tissue from the floor in their areas - some teams make NO attempt to move even one empty paint box. So why?????
Why do players shoot the chrono when testing their markers? They know where they are they know - how to use them but they still shoot sh*t out of the chrono? Why at the end of a day do some players shoot off all their paint, I can understand the paint in the hopper but I watched one player pot up 5 (yes 5) times before he had emptied his hopper and batttlepack, why not save the paint for a training day or the next event???
Finally, what velocity do you set your marker at - 295 or 275? It is rare to get a hot gun and I know it is mainly down to the use of air and good quality air regs, markers etc.... but years ago everyone had this need to run as close to the limit as possible 295-298fps so what velocity do paintballers set their markers at now????
Ideas, thoughts, solutions or just comments
