New Assocation of Paintball Fields The Paintball Operator's Association (POA) is a newly formed group of paintball field owners that is striving to assist member fields "in bringing the fun and excitement of the game to new and existing players." You can read about it here.The idea behind a field owners association is good - get paintball fields to bond together to further the growth of the sport. I hope it works and helps paintball grow. That said, the field owners I know generally are pretty concerned with just getting everything done for their field that they really don't have massive amounts of free time to focus on macro-scale issues in paintball today. Sure, it's fun to talk about the sport in general, but when you get down to it, the daily grind of running a field often predominates most field owner's energies.I'll be interested to see what the association does, and as they proclaim, "creating the association was the natural next step in moving [..] discussion into action." Maybe if enough field owners join and actually agree to work together to make a concerted effort in educating the public about the sport as well as encouraging new players to try it out we'll see some positive results. In the meantime, I'm very interested to see what "action" the POA will take.New Assocation of Paintball Fields originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Thursday, July 8th, 2010 at 13:56:32.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
A Water Based Paintball? Anyone who has leaned into a bunker that has been shot at all day and ends up with half their body dripping in oil can relate to the complaint that oil-based paintballs can get too messy. Oily paint smears on goggles, sticks to clothes, permanently coats obstacles and makes AstroTurf feel like an ice-skating rink. The simple solution to this oily mess is to create a water-based paint. Unfortunately, the gelatin used to make the shells simply doesn't mix well with water-based paints.Rumor has it, though, that a new company - HydroTec Paintball - is coming out with a water-based paintball. The company plans on debuting the paint early this fall and claims its product will help to "reinvigorate the industry." I'm somewhat skeptical that any paintball improvement (other than free or nearly-free paintballs) will reinvigorate the industry, but I am interested in whether a water-based paintball will actually work better than the traditional oil-based variety. The worst-case scenario is that the paintballs are awful and everyone keeps using the paint they currently shoot, but the best-case scenario means a cheaper, better paintball might be on the horizon. I'm excited to find out.A Water Based Paintball? originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 at 22:34:02.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
