Oh yeah they did. they made a few comments made us feel good and appreciated to be able to do that for them. Hopefully we see them back on the speedball field with full loadouts soon! lol.
You are doing it right. But to make paintball growth or even sustainable paintballs should be way cheaper or paintball field owner must go all the way reball (reusable paintballs), so Paintball would be around $25 a day (entry fee and air) instead of $100 or $200 a day in the US. Classic paintballs (with paint) should be kept for pro or semi-pro tournament only.
oh i appreciate that!! you are right but at the same time they have overhead expenses with new minimum wage requirements and all in 30 states it really makes it hard for fields to cover the expenses. i will say this though. speedball is much cheaper than rec ball IMO. when youre on a dedicated team you can work out deals with fields and some fields are majority funded off speedball teams especially near major cities if the field wants to capitalize on speedball they have a better market there. If i showed the speedball crowd that is at Long live paintball every week youd think it was a big tournament. lol for me to play a day of speedball its usually 0$-40$ because i have 7+ cases of paint at home. I still have left over paint from 3 regional events ago and last NXL i still have 2 cases i believe. lol. cases at NXL were only 20$ for HK paint and it shot really well. as long as the field owner gives me permission i shoot off a case of old paint. or ill ask if i can buy a case and shoot a case of my left overs after. which is usually no problem, our team has a deal with gearup now to be our home field so we have free field and air fees as part of our deal and special paint pricing since we buy 8-12 cases a week every week for the team. i think joining a team for speedball is the best way to get into this sport tbh. i think airsoft is really cool too but the cheating vids are just insane i couldnt do it.
that's awesome, I bet those guys had a blast. thanks for doing that
