paint - part 2..

[thumper]

Paint news: here is what Im hoping for - (but no guarantees - and Im not in charge of the paint buy)

It looks like we are gonna make a pretty healthy paint buy from National Paintball Supply - 5 skids. I think its like 110 cases or 2000 rounds each per skid.

1.5 skids of Formula 13 - metalic shell, yellow fill -- sell at @ $45/case -- rated 9.1/10 with 27 reviewers on pbreview.com

1.5 skids of XBall Silver - unknown fill - sell at $45/case -- rated 10/10 with 27 reviewers on pbreview.com
http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/3674/

2 skids of Circuit - Orange/Maroon shell - orange fill - sell at $35/case
(we have been shooting this stuff for 9 months now (yellow/green) (yellow/red) and it has been a very good field paint - A little thick on the shell, which does well in high pressure markers and rentals. (no barrel breaks - some bouncers) I would love to get some more yellow/green.

National has some fresh batches in stock - the fill and shell may change a bit based on what is really fresh around Oct 13th.
I have a few bags of each coming for personal evaluation through my Cocker, Sniper II and various Tippman markers.

It looks like the Evil and Marbs are out of the question since national doesnt carry them, and we are trying to help our main sponsor!!!

What do yall think? Feedback please..

Not to be offensive but does it matter what we think...Anyways, now that I can't get personal preference, I have heard good stuff about the Xball, and it looks like thats what I will be shooting, is this BYOP or FPO...I'm not sure so I figured I would ask...

[CamoJester]

Sounds good to me.

i have heard good things about teh x-ball, but the circuit shoots well for me, based on about 5k rounds through my cocker. usually the first ball doesnt break if its circuit, so i will probably get some xball.

What did we shoot at Bastogne?

[drewcif]

if im not mistaken it was the circuit. bastogne was a good batch of paint IMO

It matters what you think because public opinion can change what we order..
It is a BYOP event, but why would you go to walmart and buy old abused paint when i can get a fresh batch 2 weeks old, straight from the factory?

Bring what you got, and shoot it and when you run out, we will have 550+ cases in the shop. (at the free finale at LCP last December, Billy sold 1000 cases at his BYOP event!!!) But before you BUY paint for the event, please consider what we have coming.. It might be considerably better, fresher, and cheaper than what you may buy elsewhere - and it helps the people putting on the event.

We shot circuit at Bastone & Super 61. At Cartoon Wars we shot Dracula and Pink Thrush from Crush Paintball.

Many players will want "accuracy through volumn" paint -- and Circuit is designed to meet that need. Many pumpers and sniper types may want "the best paint I can get" - and the XBall Silver should do well. It is what I would use for my Sniper II and mechanical AutoCocker.

Ill bet the Flat Lines, A5s, Tippmanns and Milsim types love that XBall Silver.

Hopefully I will have some at the field soon for demo/testing.

xball is some amazing stuff. id like to see it kept in stock all the time! Sounds like a good combination. Though it may sound strange, differnt types of players are drawn toward different paints. Like i know ALL the speedballer's will get the Xball, the rec's will head toward the circut and then the formula 13 is just all around good paint if ya ask me.

You said the circuit paint was (yellow/red). I thought there was no red shell or fill paintball aload at this event? Just wondering
