Old patch

[Ragu310]

Found an old patch in some old gear. Anyone have an info?

Patch for Triggertyme paintball - in particular a scenario patch.

Scenario was run by these guys: https://www.phulesgold.com/scenario.htm

Probably based on the Pendragon rpg game? According to the link above which somehow still exists, the scenario was run in 2004. I mean, they could have done it in other years, but that's what I can figure out with my internet sleuthing.

I haven't seen a trigger tyme patch in years, field went under years ago

The fact that the website is still functioning blows my mind. What a trip

That website is a thing of nostalgic beauty. I wish the best and good health to the phule’s gold crew wherever they may be today.

Dang. Now I’m nostalgic for something I’ve never heard of. That patch is cool.

Chicago font on a website…that’s pretty nostalgic too…

It’s so nice, and rare, to see paintball be presented with some style that has nothing to do with Call of Duty, death, bad-ass-ness, or some “hilarious” double entendre that involves shafts or balls or something.

There were some good scenarios at TriggerTyme (previously Vanguard Paintball). The field limped along for a long time after 2008 but finally succumbed to lack of marketing/investment. One of the best pieces of property for paintball I have ever played on. I helped build a lot of the original fields and structures back before Dennis Day died (original owner of the business). If I was inclined to own a paintball field business I would have to see if the trust that owns the property would be interested and renting it again.

I don't remember that particular scenario so I assume this is after I had a falling out with the last owner over some BS that did not involve me but he thought it did. That would make it after 2007/2008.

They had a field called the airfield with a buried plan like it crashed in the middle of it, some of my best times playing were on that field

We still have the airport field. Triggertyme is still open every weekend.

Damn really, I know it went through a rocky patch and I thought it was no more, they just opened a new field in Lexington I hear as well, damn I need to get out and play it's kinda hard with no license and watching a youngin all the time lol

[Ragu310]

Fun information. Looks like there may still be a field running under that name.

It is kaput from all I can tell. Should have driven down Koon Store Rd last Thursday to verify while I was in the area. Jun last year is the last thing on the FB page.

I'm very interested in buying that patch from you. I'm the general manager at triggertyme paintball and have been playing there since 1999. Email me if you'd be interested.

Hey guys, my name is Chavez. I've been playing at triggertyme paintball since 1999 when Brian "itchy" and Jim bulldog phifer were co owners after Dennis sold them vanguard paintball.
Triggertyme has never closed down and is still doing sold out weekends to this day. I should know Ive been the general manager since 2016. Brian sold the field to Robert Murphy in 2005. He is still the owner. We moved to our new location on Fairfield road December of 2024 and the new location is the best we have ever had in 37 years. I'm open Saturdays 9am to 530 and Sundays 12pm to 530. Our next scenario is in April.

On a more serious note, I'd be very interested in paying a fair price to buy that patch. I played in that scenario with joker and pumba and all the silent thunder guys. I'd really love to add that to my collection. Email me if you'd be interested in selling it.

Glad to see you guys survived, the website for a long time was still showing the Koon Store Road address. Facebook is still showing you on Koon Store Road as well.
