About Me
Yes! Even Fat People Can Be Snipers!!!
Well, my name's Rich. I lived in Binghamton, NY, and now in Krikwood, NY(Next town over). I've started playing paintball in 96, while I was on vacation. It was a little field called Ocean City Paintball. Well, it only took one time to get me hooked. Soon after I got back I bought a Piraha Player Pak. (It was on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods) My brother bought one too. We would go out to the woods and shoot each other. Sounds like fun right? Beleive it or not, this is a really good way to practice. Eventually, my brother and me bought new markers. He got a Bruzier Outlaw, and I bought the Viper M1. Check it out in the equipment page. When I first started playing, my brother and me set up a small field at my dad's. It was a triangle field in the middle of a swamppy crick area. Pine trees, thick brush, a little bridge, and a few pallet barracades, and you get one interesting field. Beleive me, this field was too small for 3 people to play on. You learn to move fast through the worst field conditions. Also, it was great trainning. Anyways, my dad moved and we lost the field. Every year my brother and me go to Skirmish in Jim Thorpe, PA. This is the coolest fields I've ever seen. Go play their! About 01', I started sniping. I don't know what it is, but being a sniper is the best part of paintball. Well that and supprizing everyone when they get shot from nowhere.
About Augaust 03', I got into speedball. The guys at the local shop have a nice little speedball field set up. They held a speedball tourny and out of 15 teams, we took 2nd. We missed the chance to play for 1st by 3 seconds...but that's another story. (Ask my brother) Our team, Headstrong, played in one more tourny in Syracuse. We took 15 out of 20. Did i mention that the first tourny was only for new teams? Due to family issues, we disbanded the team. Lately I have been constructing scenairo gear. Currently I'm working on a half scale Sherman tank. Being married and short on cash, I don't play much, but without a doubt, ION must be played. I upgraded my account so I can give you guys more stuff. I'm planning a major upgrade on the site. Let me know what you wanna see. Contact
(12/31/05)Year End Report
Well, it was a slow year again. Didn't play much paintball. Spent most of my time working so I could buy stuff to build paintball stuff. I joined Five Mile Point Fire Company in August, so now I'm a volunteer firefighter. I wish I joined earlier.

It appears that I have not been keeping up on these reports and it's basically the end of the year so... #1 I got married in September this year. Lets see. In 06', I built the WW2 BAR paintball gun. I also put together a nice WW2 82nd Airborn Uniform. In 07', I built the WW2 Bazooka and added a few new things to the paratrooper uniform. This year, I began work on my WW2 1/2 scale Sherman tank, and then stopped. I'll start again next year.

This year has been heavy on the construction of the Sherman. I did play ION and it was fun but other than that, I didn't get out much.
Watch for more come....
