Brass Eagle Paintball Manufacturing Plant to Close With less-than-spectacular news to start the new year, a Brass Eagle paintball plant in Southwest Missouri will close in mid-February. The Chicago Tribune reports that 60 people will lose their jobs as the 25,000 square foot facility closes. While it's not confirmed, the closing of this plant could also mark the end of the ubiquitous low-end Monster Balls which will raise the price to play for the super-discount crowd.Hopefully the laid-off workers will find new employment and no other paintball manufacturers suffer the same fate.Brass Eagle Paintball Manufacturing Plant to Close originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Monday, January 4th, 2010 at 14:25:25.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
What Makes A Good Paintballer? I've played with some good paintballers in my day and a few really exceptional players. I've also played with countless average players and a handful of down-right awful players. I wish there were some magical rule that could explain the differences between the best and the average (such as being a great shot or knowing when to move), but I'm convinced that good players come in many different forms.Just like in basketball where a point guard excels in ways a center doesn't and vice versa, paintball players have different attributes that can help them excel at different aspects of the sport. Some people have a sixth sense about when to move and when to stay put while others have a knack for hitting the competition from anywhere on the field. Others are leaders that move their team and get others in the right position to make the winning move. Some really successful players, though, don't seem to do anything particularly well but end up winning time after time.My personal opinion is that the one thing ability is most prevalent amongst good paintballers is their ability to mentally keep track of the field and know what's happening. Average players usually know what's going on directly in front of them, but the best players have a good idea of what's happening behind them and on both sides at the same time as they're shooting it out with a bunker straight ahead. That allows them to know when it's a good idea to move or retreat and they almost never end up getting hit unawares.There are countless good paintball players out there. What makes the best players you know so special?What Makes A Good Paintballer? originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Sunday, February 14th, 2010 at 21:21:23.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
