Thanks from BKs, and a question

[Gray]

To SoVa and all the other teams, players, refs, and Ronn and Don - THANKS from the Black Knights www.teamblackknights.com for another great day of paintball! As always, it's absolutely worth the trip to run with you.

I am truly humbled that our little band was awarded MVT for the Japanese. While Jester and I have a number of scenarios under our belts - including three at Splat Bros - my nephew Mark (age 13) had never been to SB and Tony (age 15, same as Jester) had played paintball only once before! The youngsters really worked hard and had a great time. Those of you on SoVa's radio channel heard Tony trying to figure out how to describe the tactical situation on the tower field late in regular play and how to request reinforcements... we laughed about that all the way home, and neglected to tell his folks he chose "B." ;D

To the unknown player who awarded a marker won in the raffle to Tony for the birthday guess -THANK YOU. That was a really great thing to do, and I hope to meet you next trip and shake your hand. Tony was playing with our extra gear, and he is so excited to have his first marker (until Santa pays a visit).

And now a question: were Jester and I the only players having trouble getting the ProBall paint to fly straight? I tried four different inserts in the Freak barrel on my Etek, and Jester tried two different barrels. No breakage problems really - just wouldn't fly straight. Incredibly Frustrating to have to blast away at a target I would usually one-ball!

Thanks again; looking forward to new SB games in the new year.

My pro ball paint would not shoot strait out of my 98 custom AT ALL, I figured it was the gun, so I switched to my a-5 and, it worked for a bit but, at end game I figured a ball blew up but, I was wrong, it was just doing loops on the way to the tower.

Gray -

I "think" I was the one who gave the marker to the young man. He guessed April and that was the correct answer! It was my honor and pleasure. Teach the young man to play honest standup ball and it will be well worth it. I hope he enjoys it.

Feel free to stop by the A&B camp anytime! We'd love to introduce ourselves and say hi.

We're glad the Black Knights enjoyed the day. You guys played great and it was a well deserved award. You hung in there and fought hard. Though you were but a few your impact was large!

Gotta remember that paint has summer fill and winter fill and gelatin shells full of liquid don't like extreme temperatures. Yeah I had some wild shots too but I know that it was even across the board. Everyone had the same problem and that's about as fair as you can get

Looking forward to playing alongside you guys next season!

Gray,

As always it was a pleasure fur SoVa to play alongside of our NC brothers. You, Jester and the rest of the BK's have distinguished yourselves as excellent sportsmen, great ballers and even better friends. It was truely our honor to have you and yours share our campsite once again, slingpaint alongside of you, swap stories and advice.

The paint issues were pretty much across the boards, My 98 didnt have an issue, but my A5 detested the paint and the cold

Untill we team up again, may you and yours have the happiest of holidays!

My 68 automag broke a lot of paint then I started using my E-Mag and had no more broken paint, But it did not want to shot straight.

Big T, if your automag does not have a level 10 bolt in it i would advise so for such events. My emag has the level 10 bolt and it has not broken any paint yet no matter how fragile it has been.

Coyote's Tac-1 had no problems with the Proball....until my hopper batteries died (i don't think that could be blamed on the paint).

I think this is all a conspiracy by Ronn and Donn to make us shoot more paint!





Love ya...Mean it!
