Hi to all PBNation posters. New here but have been playing Paint Ball for a while just for fun and recreation but am not going to make the plunge that I have some money to put into it. Glad to be a member and am sure I will learn a lot and hope I can contribute something.

Still don't have a marker of my own yet but looking into the $300+ range. Have heard good things about the new 09/10 PMRs, Smart Parts NXT for mid level first guns.

Hey. I'm new to the forums. Heard about it from a couple of buddies of mine. Thought I'd throw out an intro.

I'm Ryan. Live in the Youngstown, Oh area. Used to be in to the sport about 5 years ago, but have been out since. I'm looking to get my feet wet again with all the new stuff that is out now.

Hey,

I'm Pete, I'm located in Oregon, i've only been to the local paintfields less than 10 times. I've recently decided to get into paintballing. I dont have anything at the moment. Forturnately for me i'll be coming into a little bit of extra spending money so im always looking for ideas and tips as far as equipment and guns go.

Hello to everyone. My name is Santiago and I'm from Peru. I started playing scenario in '07 and started training speedball this year. I'm trying with a few friends to make a good team for competitions here. Still trying to make enough money for a decent marker. Used to shoot an Ego 7 for about 4 weeks then it went away. Long and Sad story.

Lukos · 10-13-2009, 01:54 PM

Welcome. It always makes me happy when I see someone here who's from Peru. I've got family down there.

im patrick. I made this account about year and a half ago. I then stopped going on it after about 3 months. So iv been back for only about 3 months now. ( do the math- i was gone for about 9 months) and i just found this thread so id thought id meet some new people or w/e.

Iv been playing about 4 years speedball and ocasionall(sp) woods. I have had a bunch of guns (wrath, pilot, protos, egos. etc) But right now im using pm8 an upped smart parts ion. Dont tell me ions suck because i am a huge fan of them

I'm Luke, 20, from Mukilteo WA. A place 20 minutes North of Seattle. I have paintballed lightly off and on for the last 3-4 years never having owned any gun myself. Whenever I played it was with a DM4, SP Ion, or an A-5. I played a mix of woodsball and speedball and although I enjoy both of them I favor the speedball. I have been reading reviews about new markers trying to decide what i'm going to use to actually get into the sport.

dsr30 · 10-21-2009, 02:09 AM

Hey, I'm Daniel, I've played pb a few times before, but decided to get my own equipment recently. I've got an egripped and flatlined X7, a stock Epiphany and a Spyder Imagine. I'd say that I'm pretty hooked right now, it's fun as hell.

You guys have a really good forum here with lots of good info.
