I've been playing paintball since 1989. I've own every type of marker from a splatmaster to a automag. I have also played in every type of tournament. However, now that I am getting a little older and slower I enjoy scenario and big games. I have played in local, national, 3, 5, 7, and 10 man events. Now I mostly play in just big games and scenario games.
