The Red Legion Wave As some of you may have guessed, I’ve had a sabbatical of sorts this past year or so. It’s not what I would have chosen but without going into too much detail, the welfare of my family comes first. The upshot of this hiatus has resulted in an unplanned/unwanted absence from...

Billy’s not so Silly …. Myself, Steve Baldwin and Billy Ceranski …. It’s hardly any secret that one of my close friends in the US is Billy Ceranski - we played together on Aftershock for three years starting in 96, and have been friends ever since. Why do I bother even mentioning this...

I'm going to run a series of articles focussed upon the characters in our sport, some of whom were there from the beginning and a lot of them who are still around now. I'll give you the low-down on who they are, what they are/were like, what they've achieved and what they got up to. I won't be...

For those of you who don't know Tommy Cole, here’s a brief run-down:- Ever since I started playing in the US in around 1990, Tommy was known as one of the good guys - Personally, I always thought he should have been on the Waltons but he ended up as top-dog on a team called Bad Company out of...

I apologise if someone else has covered this news item but I've just heard that Tommy Cole's Amsterdam event has over 200 teams booked in …. I spoke to Tommy last night very briefly but I will be calling him back tonight for a fuller account of the all the details surrounding this news. If it's...

As I once said somewhere, the best thing about paintball is the friends you make and one such friend of mine is Billy Ceranski who I’ve known for well over 20 years after playing alongside him on Aftershock, the 6-time world champions back in the day. Billy’s an honest bloke not prone to...

TRAINING - A Route-Map to Success ….. By Jim Montgomery [Dusty]. I asked Jim [Dusty] to write an article on how best to train with the ultimate goal of producing a significant improvement in how you play. I wasn't disappointed - he seems to have nailed every aspect of what you must do...

I'll try not to drop too many names in this post but there's some big news coming out the US with regard to who parks their ass in the big seat at Gi-Sports which just happens to be the largest paintball conglomerate in the world, by far. I've been really fortunate in my so-called career because...

We've all borne witness to the recent resurgence in woodland events this past couple of years as exemplified by the events that Twizz, Ged Green et al have been promoting of late. However, the jury is still out regarding the real nature of this walk back down memory lane .... It's relatively...

Since I was unable to attend Nicky Truter and Ged Green's event at Basset Pole this last weekend, I thought I'd better ask someone who did attend for their views on what went down …. if indeed anything went down apart from the rain. Ledz was there with his team, The infamous Sandbaggers, as well...

I was unable to get to Nick Truter/Ged Green's fantastic event this past weekend due to family concerns but despite the rain, I'm hearing it was a resounding success both logistically and competition-wise. But what about the tournament itself, between the teams ? I heard that Joy Division...

As most of you will now know, we've embarked upon a period of change whereby we'll be trying to give you guys a magazine on-line more in keeping with PGi's hallowed position of yesteryear. It'll take time but in the meantime, we've had a quick talk amongst us Mods and we've decided to make @Tom...

One of the best things about paintball - is the people you meet, and the friends you make - some of whom become lasting friends for decades. I've been lucky enough to meet so many great individuals in my time, and Richmond Italia is one of those. He's been responsible for several multi-million...

Most people who'll be reading this will be well aware of what's happening here on P8ntballer, of late. It's been blatantly obvious that if P8ntballer is going to thrive in this social-media online environment we find ourselves immersed in then we'll have to configure our forum along the lines of...

Part One …... To help launch P8ntballer’s rebirth I think it’ll help if we run a series of articles concerning the basics of our game … in the early stages, these articles will focus on the techniques required, the preparation needed and a lot more besides. I’m gonna try and prioritise what...

P8ntballer.com first appeared our monitors in July 2001 …. ever since then, we've been at the hub of all things paintball. Our heritage has its roots deeply embedded in the long lamented magazine, PGi, and so we tried to follow the same path and keep ahead of events and meaningful commentary...
