Paintball - Gauging Interest
Ok, we've been kicking around doing paintball for awhile. The place I've been to in the past is Hogback Mountain. They are just off Route 15 about half way between Leesburg and US 50. It's about a 40 mile drive from Hardtimes in Springfield (because I know everyone thinks in terms of Hardtimes. )
For a group of 8, per person it's $60 for a full day or $45 for a half day. That includes 500 balls and gun rental. Unless you are USMC RSTA you'll want more balls than that.
Can we get a group of 8 together? Shout out if you are at least 75% likely to do this.

they are a big competitor of hog back, actually. kind of weird, i like both places, but most people either love one and hate the other, or the opposite. kind of weird
either is fine with me... they're both in the same general vicinity.

I'd be down - got some of my own gear that I haven't brought out in quite a long time. My vote is for doing it in the fall though when it's cooler. I've played ball in the summer and between dealing with the sweat, the heat, the blown gaskets on the bottles, and did I mention the heat?? there are better ways to spend that much money and time.
It's be a great way to spend a day though, especially if we can get an outting with only our group. Pickup games are ok but groups are far better.
My vote is for anywhere but Pevs. Got turned off to them when I started checking out other shops. The attitude factor at Pevs is wayyyy too high.

Hogback is having a Big Game on the 26th that I'm headed to. Apparently is a Normandy Invasion type of thing, should be interesting.
I'm meeting a coworker there, but anyone else is more than able to tag along. The 'cocker is up and running correctly, and the vertical regulator shouldn't crap out on me, but the stand-by low pressure Spyder TL will be in the trunk in case anything happens.
Specifics, here.

Paint is a bit expensive, but I will probably go through just a case. And depending on how strict they are about FPO, I may be able to bring the myriad of paint I have sitting around as extra.June 26: Normandy landingBig Game. Cabin side.

Yeah, im a tourney player myself. Been out of it a bit due to time, dad dieng, finding a much more expensive hobby etc.
So yeah, if you all want to play, i can get bulk paint discounts and save a good amount of money for everyone. Let me know.

Yay! Paint slingers!
I'm just kidding with you guys. I would have enjoyed getting into tourney play (got an ECA started during college, after 3 years of hard work, and they have a couple of teams that play locally in MD 2 years later) but the cost is just rediculous. That, and I was spending money on the car at that point.
I'm sure you'll still have fun in the woods. Same basic principles apply. Don't get outflanked, tunnel vision sucks, teammates really help, angles are cool and so on and so forth. However, you're playing on something larger than a postage stamp, with plenty of creative places to hide.
I'm game for whatever. There are a bunch of big game/scenario games in and around the area throughout the summer/fall. Maybe we could all sign up on the same team and have some fun?

Me wanna play.
I've been to both Pevs and Koggback. I think hoggs has nicer facilities & logistics and is more proffesional and expensive. The manager there sometimes gets in pissy moods and likes to shopw everybody who is in charge.
I find Pevs is more laid-back, the reffs are a bit more slack, the dead zones aren't protected well, and if you blow a seal or run out of air, it is a long way to the next tank.
It sounds like a few of us have our own equipment. Would there be a reduction in price if we didn't have to rent?

Oh...I am SOOO Down! Heheh I just read your comment awhile back there Julian...lol
I will check into the prices I can get on base! Should be a good deal..might be less ammo, but around 20-30 for allday and a rental and 250 rounds or so. I think if we do it this way and all chip in a little and go to walmart and buy loads of ammo for cheap!

b/c I am such an elitist, I have to bring my own balls for you to play with...
Wait, that sounded weird, forget that. I have a longer barrel that needs special balls...
Damn, that didn't work either. With my superior range, I'll just lay back and tag y'all in the backside when you aren't looking.
Argh, that is not what I wanted to say. Just lay down and play dead, it will be over soon...
