I bought a load of stuff a good while back, but I might go once a year. I really need to start going more often, but it's just another thing to sink money into.

I bought an Invert Mini way back when, but I'm not massively into it. I play solely woodsball

Nice! I found to save money, buy a case of paint, and try not to shoot to much, and then bring home the remainders and refrigerate it. It makes the paint more brittle! Also, force yourself into going more often. If you have a gun it costs like 20 dollars less for me at my field to go!

oh! i might make this a paintball/airsoft thread...

>Try not to shoot too much
>Have marker with double hair trigger

That is a lot harder than saying it

Also my local site is quite strict about the paint you use. You can only use stuff you buy from site because people put paint in the freezer which can really **** people up. But yeah, I should go more. I just don't have the money

I have an ego 7 and i shoot about 2 bags a day, so buying a case is cheaper than buying four bags. And i buy field paint. But yeah i totally get it.

Oh this brings back memories. I used to paintball a lot back in High School with my customized Tippman 98. I also lived in the mountains so it was easy to find somewhere to play.

After graduating a fell out of it, starting getting involved in women (men just weren't working out  ), and sold all my gear. Including my ghillie suit. 

Years later I got into Airsoft and bought the KWA SR10 after some trial and error with an A&K SPR M16 (good gun, but I broke it by modding it). Used to play with some of the Police/Swat I worked with. It was a lot of fun if you like playing as a bad guy and losing....every game, but I got to shoot a Ltn. Worst idea I've ever had. 

Then I had kids...sold all my Airsoft Gear...and found keyboards. Just can't stop spending money.

Paintball was my first addiction. Started playing woodsball at 13, played in a high school speedball league then eventually started a sponsored PSP/NPPL team (shoutout to discountpaintball.com & foxpaintball.com). I worked three jobs to cover the travel for ~10 events across the states, but eventually decided to sell all my gear and quit so I could stop being so broke in my early 20s. But it was easily the best times I've had. pew pew

Pictures are like 8-9 years old

29 now, but truth be told I've already bought gear again. Despite being a Bob Long Intimidator tech-certified I bought a DM7 a year or two ago and have played with friends a handful of times. But get back in to it competitively? No.
