I myself like RL its in my sig along with you guys.

My question is when you guys practice, do you guys do a lot of 1 on 1's?

What guns do you use? Are you going to have a custom gun series?

4x4 rider · 01-08-2012, 05:40 PM

They have had a gun series since last season. Eclipse. Check the thread.

Back in November I asked this question. With the recent changes to the Hurricanes organization I have a feeling that there will be several players who are unable to participate on the local level and teamless on the national level. I'd like to bring the question back up again if I can.

Thanks,

When you run the 1 on 1's how to run them? Like starting in bunker x and bunker y, kind of like a snap drill? Or off the deadbox?

and I'd be curious to know too?

Our plans have not changed due to these other changes in our region.

The simple fact is that 10 players earned the right to prove they belong and they'll get that chance this season. Until they prove they can't (and I doubt that will happen) or they decide to give up the sport (again - I doubt that will happen) we have our roster set for this coming season.

I really like how you said 10 players earned their right to prove they belong. No reason to add/drop players until they give you reason to or show they cant compete.

Proto12 · 02-06-2012, 01:22 PM

Would you ever consider changing how your jersey looks?

Fox4paintball · 02-06-2012, 01:48 PM

Proto12 - not really sure where that question is coming from.

We've had custom jerseys for the team for the past 4 or 5 years now. Each year has been different. Last year we moved over to a custom jersey which had the base of an Eclipse Jerseys with some customization. This year our customization of the eclipse jersey is going a little further.

Is there something specific you're thinking of? Something you want to see us rocking?

Deimus85 · 02-06-2012, 01:53 PM

I want snow camouflage

Fox4paintball · 02-06-2012, 01:55 PM

Proto12 · 02-06-2012, 02:12 PM

It was just a random question that I thought about, just like every other one on here?

I love your jerseys, Nothing wrong with them at all. I did not know you had switched them up in the past, actaully. I enjoy making designs and 187 crew is a top favorite team of mine so a thought just poped into my head.

Not specifically , no. I have had a few random ideas tho, but not at home pc and hard to just type and explain

Proto12 · 02-06-2012, 02:15 PM

snow como would be sick actually, ha.

Fox4paintball · 02-06-2012, 02:28 PM

This years jerseys can be found at www.upton187crew.com

That is a custom Snow covered Realtree by Nick Leival (Team Captain and our graphic designer for all things 187).
