Old Timers

[PaulBox]

I'm 43 and attended my first walk-on a couple of months back (with @Keith357j and using his gear), having only done punter stuff before, really enjoyed it and will be doing my next one in 10 days with my own gear.

Not cheap setting up for the first time is it... But I'm looking forward to using it.

There were four brothers Rafe,Bart, Dean and Wayne. Before Bart had his shop in Potters Bar ,Dean and Rafe had a paintball shop but i cant remember what it was called.
Hook Wood, played in some great 5 and 7 man tourneys there ! Memories coming back !

it was Rafe Wayne and Bart. Two were Monkman Farmers, rafe was just farmer, rafe and Wayne had the site and APC action pursuit centre in potters bar, Bart had his own paintball shop a few years later. Wayne had that white dog that literally ate tyres at the hookwood site. Used to be an awesome site to play.

That was an English bull terrier as far as I can remember or possibly a small
Polar bear.

I used to play at Hook Wood and remember when it was closed (sad day). Bought my Phantom and Budd Orr Sniper II from their shop in Potters bar.
