    Tough one then.

    Order one case for sure and then I'd say either bring funds for a second (it's $10 more at the event) or if you think you'll be shooting more semi maybe just order a second

    If you were playing Friday I'd say just get 2 but Saturday and Sunday only, it's possible to do on one if you are consecutive.

    I play all 3 days and do 3 cases. It's actually a little more paint than I tend to shoot but I'm fine with that. I plan out how many pods I plan to take out with me for each game and know that if I stick to that schedule I'll be fine.

    My team runs team paint so I just want to make sure I'm contributing enough to cover what I'll shoot

    Friday (running pump)
    4 pods +hopper

    Saturday day 11 pods +hopper
    Final battle 11 pods + hopper

    Sunday 4 pods + hopper

    200 for the hopper and 140 for each pod

    Typically what ends up happening is I don't use every pod on Saturday so I have a few extras to add into Sunday if I want.

    More aggressive than not, it's easier to hit people the closer you are. But I've also run whole days in a scenario shooting stock class and had a blast letting other people cover for me

    Not really sure what to bring.. I have so many to show off..

    If I bring the new toy, that would cover pump and closed bolt semi use.. and I have a couple of electros of various size and operating principles.. will probably bring my emek, the new build I've been calling "swansong", my excal, and either my viking or my PM8.. that way I can cover my bases with open and closed bolt semi/electric options, I CAN oblige stickfeed too, but I'd have to bring a whole other gun for that, but 'm flying and need to bring a few changes of clothes, so space is kinda limited, 4 guns is kinda pushing it already IMO

    To actually anwser Trbo's question. I usually bring a pump a mechanical semi and a stock class. I shoot the pump for the "beads" game. I use the stock class for magfed part of the main SG. And I'll use a mix of pump and semi for the main SG, mostly pump tho. I buy three cases of the mid grade paint. I don't play the night game because I've experienced some "stuff and some things, man". The last SG didn't seem to have the same feel to it as the previous ones I've been to. It seemed like a lot of the Californians didn't make it like the LA Hitmen. There were some other teams absent and the raffle was really, really light. I'm hoping this year will be better and I plan on getting some sleep.

    Answer: Something else

    Last year on Friday morning I woke up at 12AM. I got packed up and headed out for my half hour drive to St Paul around 8AM. I was meeting up an old tournament buddy this year and I was really excited to see him again. I set up my tent and got registered and perused the vendor tents for awhile. My buddy didn't show up until around 9PM. After setting up his tent we sat around and caught up until 5AM on Saturday. I woke up at 8AM and got ready. After my buddy woke up and got registered and ready we made out way out onto the battlefield around 11AM. Out team was getting smoked and we were pushed back into our firebase. We shot a few balls and after about a half hour I headed back to camp and passed out. I woke up at around 7PM, packed up my stuff and went home. The end.

    I wasn't feeling it at all. IAlso the marker I bought and setup specifically for SG I wasn't able to use because it didn't work with the tank I brought. The little I did play was with an Azodin KP3+ with a Rotor loader which some guy actually made fun of me for. You know pumpers like consistent feeding too! Which was the following, you may have seen her before:

    I can print out a return label ahead of time so that after the game, you can just drop it off when you pass a USPS or UPS spot.
    also Trbo323 pretty sure i'll need to snag a spot in your extra tent.
    Yeah I can do this for you as well, it will keep things simple.

    If you are going to be camping with us, depending on your arrival and departure you might be able to avoid the rental car as well. PDX is all of 15 minutes from me.

    We are most likely going to have a dedicated camp cook. Anyone in my camp if you want in on food it's usually something like $25 for the whole weekend.

    I can ask him if he is open to people outside our camp joining in of people are interested but I know his cooking capacity has a limit at some point.

    Dang that's a ton of space! Nice job Rusty Brass.

    Got to hang with Jokers a bit last weekend. Sounds like a solid group, have a fire pit, lots of tent coverage if it rains, and we'll be whipping up some good food.

    Looking forward to seeing y'all in person!

    That’s awesome lots of open space now. I’ll try and see if I can get my dad to come, if I can get him out there he’ll probably play even if it’s only one day lol.
