Redefining Weird On An Hourly Basis










Paintball...or why I'm insane

Cameron and I went paintballing for the first time tonight. There is an indoor field very close to us and we decided to check it out. For those of you who don't know, Kalan and Cameron have brought me into the game of paintball. :) I have a marker (gun) and a few accessories, mostly donated by them.

I had a good time. It was a very slow start. I got there and my marker was firing too fast so I had to have the tech take it apart and trim the spring down. The max speed on the indoor field is 270 feet/second and I was shooting about 305, That took a good while, got that all fixed and was ready to go. First game out, I run to the first bunker and slide. Its a gravel "floor" and I tore my jeans and subsequently my knee open. Got that all fixed up and went out next with a referee's shield to take pics of Cameron playing. While out there this time, I got hit in the, um... well.... nuts twice. So I think that the GAME doesn't like me but I had fun. It was smooth sailing after that. I just got cleaned up and only have 2 red marks from paintballs. Not bad at all.

Here is a link to some pics, but I will warn you. There is a wound pic in here too, so consider yourself warned.
