Born On Dating for Paintballs There's nothing like going to a store or field and buying a case of paintballs and then opening them to discover dimples, oblong balls and broken shells. Often the reason is because you lucked into a case that had been at the bottom of a pallet and had been sitting for months or longer in less-than-ideal storage conditions. Alas, that is part of paintball.While I don't feel that paintball companies need to put a "best by" date or expiration date on paintballs (since the simple truth is that paintballs will last different amounts of time depending on how they are stored), I would like them to put a born-on-date on each case that says when the paintballs were originally manufactured. Imagine if you go into a store and you see that there are two brands of paint - one that was made (born) last month and another brand that was made six months ago - which would you be inclined to choose? I know that the date wouldn't guarantee the younger balls would be better, but it sure makes it more likely.Of course, if a manufacturer really stands behind their paint or a store really believes in the quality of the product they sell, both could put an expiration date on the paint and guarantee that up to that date the paint will be round, dimple free and without a break in the case. That, though, might be a little unrealistic at this point.If any manufacturer who reads this takes the plunge and adds born on dating to their paintballs, it would definitely get my business and it just might inspire a change in the industry.Born On Dating for Paintballs originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Friday, June 25th, 2010 at 11:14:37.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |

Another Free Online Paintball Magazine Many of you have seen the black and white Paintball News that many stores and fields carried over the years and probably leafed through it whenever you got a chance. With the decline of free print media and the rise of free digital media, Paintball News is now available online as a monthly magazine.The past few years have seen the rise and fall of a number of online paintball magazines, so hopefully this new one will succeed for longer than the other ones. Since the magazine is not designed as a corporate venture but as a way to share insights via a "for players by players" format, hopefully the digital format will have the longevity of the free print version.If nothing else, it's one more resource to check out when you have a free minute.Another Free Online Paintball Magazine originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Thursday, July 1st, 2010 at 22:58:38.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
