Once the bug bites it never goes away. I find myself in the noob forum enjoying your thread
I can't remember my first walk on but that's cos it was about 25 years ago when the choice of MMarkers
Was simple a phantom or if you were on the dark side a bushmaster . Anyway after a 20 year gap I'm back
And bewildered by the choice of gear.whats an old fart to do? ? Anyway I digress as a noob you
can look forward to paintball consuming your life for years.and from your earlier posts I'd say that it's too late for you you're already bit.

Thanks for all the positive comments, so the trouble and strife has told me to kerb my spending until the new year, supposedly xmas is coming and i need to buy presents(wtf), so my last purchase of the year will be a yellow thermal lens, for my grills as apparently they can help to see in the woods with all the shadows and stuff, and as i spend most of the day shouting, "where are they", "where" "im out" I need all the help i can get 
well i couldn't help myself, Just ordered a Boss xsv Bolt, aswell as the yellow lens, oppss, just dont tell my wife, it will all be good
i swear by the yellow lense, good for low light, high light, woods everythingThanks for all the positive comments, so the trouble and strife has told me to kerb my spending until the new year, supposedly xmas is coming and i need to buy presents(wtf), so my last purchase of the year will be a yellow thermal lens, for my grills as apparently they can help to see in the woods with all the shadows and stuff, and as i spend most of the day shouting, "where are they", "where" "im out" I need all the help i can get
i ordered them for my grills, (the ones i won at spc walkon lol) so i will take them and my avatars with clear lens to my next walk-on and see how they compare to each other , bonus is the lens on the grills are cheaper than the vents lenses the avatars takes, whoo hoo
