Just got home after a long 4.5hr drive home. What a great weekend so many amazing battles. So many cool toys on display. The custom 3D printed stuff was wild this year. New fields look and play great. Can’t wait to see how it all comes together this spring.
Thank You AG and Slim for organizing yet another great event. Looking forward to Spings game.

I had an awesome time playing yesterday, thank you Slim and all others involved.
For those of you who witnessed the paint grenade blow up in my hands and then me getting shot while it was happening, don't think that was the first time that happened to me! This video of me is about 10 years old, but feels like Deja Vu:
Edit, this was a triple fail as well. 1) Grenade Fail 2) multiple goggle shots 3) being completely blind I went to run off the field and ran into a net pole. If you turn up the audio you can hear me collide with it and call myself awesome...Comment

Good Job Slim, another great game, I like the new 2 minute warning strategy as a key to victory.Comment

Amazing day! Unfortunately, I could only make Saturday, but it was an absolute blast. I'm sure Sunday was even better. Hats off to Slim as always for all his hard work. I'm already looking forward to the next game in May. And I won't be missing Sunday for any baptisms or surprise bday parties...Comment

Shoot some folk, get shot by some folk, shoot the shit at the snack shack and then shoot some stocktoberfest shots at 10pm. It is truly the reason for the season.
I could only play Saturday as well but it was great day for paintball. Thanks Slim , AG and everyone involved in making these events happen.Comment

Well, we have another successful Stocktoberfest for the record books. I don't have the official numbers from Adventure Games just yet, but we had around 20 players on Saturday and around 40 on Sunday. Not the numbers we usually get, but the whole Covid thing is still impacting everything. This is my 10th anniversary of running stock-class events at commercial fields and I'm happy that I was able to do it it on the 40th anniversary year of the game itself. It's been a great ride so far.
Thanks to all who attended this awesome two-day event. There are so many people who not only attend, but who enjoy these events so much that they go above and beyond to help make them even better.
Many thanks to:
Aric, Owner of Adventure Games, who has become a true partner and enables me to put together the best event possible. In addition to managing an incredibly well-run paintball field, Aric ensures that his paint is as fresh and high quality. He also helps me put together the special beer and food menus for his food truck - Snack Shot, as well as sponsoring the coveted 10:30 Toast, where he supplies all the libations for our little celebration.
AtomJaay, who has been creating amazing custom 3D printed goodies for these events for several years now, which he gives out to all attendees for free. This year he out did himself by creating custom Stocktoberfest 10-round tube steins that everyone at the 10pm Toast used for both the practice toast and then the real toast. And thanks again to Aric for generously putting up with my nonsense as far as that goes! I also want to thank Adam for his themed apparel selection which helps set the tone for Wild West Saturdays!
Bryson for making custom 3D printed sheriff stars with the event name and date on them.
Paintball DNA for sponsoring the event by supplying a ton of awesome 3D printed parts that were given away throughout the weekend!
shooter311 for coming out and trying stock-class paintball for the first time! I'm glad you had fun! Sorry I didn't capture your antics on film, but I was standing right there and did see the whole thing.
@Chuck E Ducky for being the single best stock-class ambassador an event host such as myself could hope for. Your sportsmanship and honor help preserve the original spirit of the game.
moses688 Thanks for your generosity when it came time to tipping the refs!
Ant Assassin, Capital Dave and the guy who banned himself from MCB whose name we shall not speak for making the long distance drives and bringing their respective crews to the event.
Derek B. for flying up from Florida to New Hampshire for EVERY STOCK-CLASS EVENT WE HAVE! WTF dude?
Vito for honoring me with a special gift for my efforts, and for always volunteering to be one of my back ups if I can't do it.
Jesse (AnarchticArctic - or whatever the F your damn screen name is) for all your efforts with the Wild West scenario day and especially for running the quick draw competition. I look upon both you and Vito as my "Capos" in regards to these events. The crew you've assembled from the "regulars" represents not only the core group of stock-class players in NE, but some of the best players in NE.
Murph for bringing his 6-string so we could enjoy fireside serenades.
There are a lot more players I'd love to call out by name, but for now please know I appreciate you all.
Special thanks to Carter and MCB for providing an online platform where those who are passionate about old school ball can come together and promote these events!
More pictures coming soon. I have around 200 pics and several videos I took myself and am waiting on Vito and AG for several hundred more, so it may take a few days to go through all that content.
The gods smiling upon our group...
Kevin being Kevin...
Fastest Gun Award went to Johny...
The Sportsmanship Award went to Athena...

Thanks to Slim, Aric, and all the minions for putting together another great stock classy event!
Definitely worth coming out of retirement for some good ole fashioned PAINTBALL!
Sorry, had to bail at lunch for a family emergency (that wasn’t) without the usual goodbyes.
Looking forward to the next one.Sigs are for squidsComment

Man this was fun. Saturday’s Wild West shenanigans were a hoot as usual. I’m not sure how many games we got in, but a few of us played until dinner and it was epic. Too much appreciation to go around, so these will have to do. Big thanks to everyone who turned out and made the day great. Thanks to Aric and AG for hosting and taking care of us as usual. The “soft opening” of the Roanoke field was a blast, can’t wait to see the finished product. Thanks to Slim for throwing the shindig together year after year, giving me the space to jangle my spurs, and for our epic duel in the QuickDraw contest. Still riding that high, even though I went on to lose the finals to Jonny. Ragnastock, you freaking rock! Thanks for the memories and the welts brothers. Dying moose sounds, PAINTBALL!!!Comment
