Finding a New Paintball Field Paintball fields can be very elusive - you may live a mile from one for years and never know it exists. While some paintball fields advertise their product, others rely on word of mouth which can is often less than reliable. If you search online for a field odds are you'll dig through dozens of pages without finding much useful information - just links to pages that list the same fields you are already familiar with.The best way to find a new field is to find a compiled list of paintball fields. If you look through the phone book you may find a field that you didn't know existed, but chances are a field an hour or two away won't be in your phone book. That's where a new field search at PBNation.com comes in handy - you just load up the website and a Google map shows you where the fields are on the map. I found it to be very useful because many fields are in smaller cities that I'm unfamiliar with and I wouldn't have thought to search for a field in that town.The service isn't perfect as many of the fields and stores listed are already out of business or the information is incomplete, but it is a good resource to start your search for the next field to try out.Finding a New Paintball Field originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 at 23:57:31.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
Hydrotec's New Paintballs Hydrotec made their grand announcement this week about their new line of paintballs that they believe will revolutionize the industry. I'm still skeptical whether the new paintballs will even noticeably affect the industry, but the new technology does sound interesting.Apparently rather than the classic method of encapsulating a fill in a gelatin shell, Hydrotec has come up with a corn-based shell that will not swell when it comes into contact with water (so your paintballs won't be ruined if you leave the bag open in the humidity). While that is all fine and dandy, it's the fill that really interests me. Hydrotec claims that,The fill is a gel when at rest inside the shell, but immediately upon impacting a target it runs like water until the energy from impact dissipates (milliseconds) and then again returns to a gel state.A non-runny fill that splats like a liquid is a cool idea and I'll be interested to try them out when they're available later this year.Hydrotec's New Paintballs originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 at 17:12:28.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
