Mabe coming back after 10 years

[Mr.]

First post... 2 more to go lol. Oldest daughter(12) asked if we can go play paintball, since theres not much going on in se idaho were prob going to setup a lil speed ball course in the pasture. Gotta get some newish gear only have a couple cockers left.

[Mr.]

Crazy how much has changed. Hopefully we can spark some intrest in the area

[Mr.]

Seems the industry has consolidated quite a bit, kinda crazy. Where you guys getting paint from, seems around me (se idaho) ima have to get it shipped in

[iamthelazerviking]

Where in SE Idaho are you?

[Trbo323]

This guy can help you on the Idaho front.

jokers

I'm sure he will see this now

Also, why did you feel the need to split this into 3 posts? Just curious if there was some reason for it

Grendel correct and normal un organized thought lol

[OpusX]

Just rebuild those old cockers. They still rock.

[Mr.]

Thats the plan, i left with a marq6 and would like another. I see theres one fs here. Just gotta wait 3 posts and 10days lol

[jokers]

I know of 3 people in SE idaho who play and there is one field in mid Idaho that is still open. (They answer the phone when called) I have just about everything that you could need and will make sure to help out if you need. As far as paint the best way is to get it through an online realtor since the only "local" place is a distance away.
I would be interested in recball, speed ball etc and if you want to come to Nampa there is a small field that I know of that you can test out markers and play see if you want to invest time and money into it. Not 100% sure they will be open but I can find out. Feel free to DM me if you want and we can organize something.

[Mr.]

If we go to a field it would have to be nampa, poke, or idaho falls

[Mr.]

They have a airsoft field in burley, they used to do paintball but not sure any more

[jokers]

There are 3 places to play in the "Boise" area you have OPC, pyrrhic and a private field that just opened. Pyrrhic tends to be a lot of returning people and rentals, they are a little on the small side and things tend to get close. OPC is the good except you need to take everyone you want to play with or let everyone know you will be there, just a little far for walking on and quite likely no one will be there. The new one is "private" a couple of the guys that played out at OPC decided that they wanted to start something closer and this came around I have not been since they were setting up during the spring summer and opened late fall.

Burley

[Mr.]

Im still tring to get used to this fourm lol, i came over from pbn

[jokers]

That happens and the more you post the better it gets.

[Mr.]

Starting to get the hang of it

[Psycho91]

Welcome back, if the bug gets you again watch your wallet around these guys lol, you'll have more gear then you know what to do with

[superman]

Welcome back, if you need help with the cockers, give me a shout. Happy to help.

[minimag03]

Or you can sell your autocockers. If you're like me, you missed them getting REALLY popular again while we both were away from the sport. Their prices are still crazy compared to what they once were. Depending on your cockers, you might be able to buy all new gear by selling them lol

[Mr.]

Honestly there nothing fancy lol, im really suprised how popular spyders got

[Mr.]

So lets talk hoppers, when i left VLocity hoppers where huge. Now its dye r2s, spires, ctrl, and fuckin hk everything. Its like they bought the rights to everything, does redz, nxe etc still exist? Im so lost lol

[cellophane]

A lot of the old brands either closed up or were acquired by someone else. I don't think Redz is still around; NXE is owned by Tippman.

For loaders- the Dye Rotor is a beast, the R2 isn't bad, and I really like the Ctrl, other than the speed feed tabs. All of the new loaders work well and are a lot lighter than the old ones. I have not heard or seen good things from the HK loaders, but haven't used one personally.

edit: Forgot about the LTR- it is essentially the same as the original Rotor, just a little less flashy.

[superman]

I have been really happy with my dye rotors. Not a fan of the r2. I used spires, but hated how slow they were. I shoot really fast in short bursts and the delay for the feeding the ball stack would cause me to chop. This is not a problem for most. Everything should work just fine. alot of people have been sticking to the dye ltr and spire ir's because of the price and performance.

soft goods are a crap shoot. alot of stuff is owned by Kee/GI/empire/Jt.... all under the same umbrella.
carbon is a pretty solid company, expensive but they make nice stuff.

pod packs are not made like they used to be. much more elastic that wears out relatively quickly compared to those in the past.
