PumpkinHead Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 It has been some time since I last checked to see who plays paintball. Who plays? Who wants to play? I am looking for fresh targets... I mean more friends to play with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've got some gear, but it has been quite some time since I played, and I only do woodsball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Old school woodsball player here. Been playing airsoft for the last couple of years though, and loving it. Haven't played since they closed Tacops in East Portland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I play for the love of the game. It's the people you play with that make it fun. Speedball, woodsball, scenario, et al. You name it I will play it. It is just good times to hang out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkieft Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I have stuff, but have not played for years. Woods with friends for me... never even heard the term "Woodsball" before... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I love the rush of speedball. But it's been too dam long since I last played. Ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I have a gun and gear I got on a deal. But now the gun doesn't want to work .... where does one go to get this kinda thing fixed? In Portland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 What marker do you have? Maybe I can help. I don't know any stores in the Portland area. Haven't played down there in years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 There is also a shop out in Gresham (www.oregonpaintball.com/), that seems like they would at least know where to suggest. You seem like kind of a handy guy, and paintball markers are only so complicated. I bet a youtube search for your make/model will have someone solving the same issue, add in an Ordo buddy and you might be good to go!

Torg Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'll pull it out tonight and get you the name... I have no clue about them (I played a few times with rented stuff... 15+ years ago lol). I was hoping to use it for raccoon control along with the other critters (possum ... coyote) and stray dogs hunting cats lol. And possibly getting some play time in with it. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinHead Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Anyone know of a good indoor arena? Going into the rainy season has its downfalls and if I can avoid getting soaked I wouldn't mind. But if anyone wants to play, in any form, hit me up. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Not Indoor Paintball, but indoor Airsoft would be out at Oregon Airsoft Arena in Hillsboro. I've never been there, but I've considered it a few times. They closed the place on the Eastside that I played at for the last couple of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I always wanted to try that airsoft place. I have heard great things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm going to check the Oregon airsoft tomorrow and rent some gear. Guy said it's hopping around 6pm if anyone wants to meet up and try too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Right on! My son has played there and I've seen plenty of videos of people having fun there. I don't think I can make it out tomorrow night, but, especially if you have a good time, let's make it happen! Saturdays? Also here is a video displaying my cheesy video editing skills and almost as poor airsofting skills! https://youtu.be/CfYh2DXN8dE?t=3m11s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Been 20 years since I was into it,started during the pump gun times,,great fun! We played at a 20 acre area of land in the Molalla area,"Splat Action" was the name if I rem right it was pretty popular in the 90`s.We built a village and several other strongpoints on the property,there was enough space to run 3 team matchups plus the speed ball arena. I still have my PMI Tracer ,14" barrel and bottom line adapter.I purchase a Spider Compact and used it once in an indoor arena on the west side of portland,,had to cut the spring to crono low enough though.Snuck behind the other side when the strobes were on,then wrecked a whole team of 12 year olds there with their dad,lol...I kinda felt bad about that one.Anyhow,havent played since cuz I got married and started having kids,,and now im too fat to move around doing that stuff,lol Ive looked a gun prices in recent years and it seems they are way down from what they were 20 years back,,plus it seems to all be about whoever can put out the most paint spam so I know both of my guns wouldnt be worth much.For those still playing I would try and get pump only games going,,that is by far the most fun I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Nice video. Saturday's are rough as I work until usually 3 but could get there after. Sundays I have more availability. I like how his place only allows semi. As jack put many folks play to lay down the most spread not necessarily skilled shots. I know the few times I played paintball I always rented semi and never opted for a full auto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Last time I paintballed, it was at Splat Action, as a work event. I jumped over some logs and landed on a M-16 magazine, which was weird because you don't use magazines like that in paintball. Turns out it it was an airsoft magazine. They do that too. I've never played airsoft outdoors, and I've never played paintball indoors. Funny! That was the first time that I realized airsoft wasn't like the yellow rubber bb guns that you could play with in the toy aisle at K-Mart when I was a kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 One of the things that I liked about the place that closed on the East side(airsoft) was that they generally only played semi auto. You still had guys with really high rates of fire, but playing in full auto game is full on nut balls, especially indoor cqb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 You won't find many people without an electronic marker these days. With a price point at 350$ ish it is hard not to. Splat action is where I got my first taste of speed ball. I still have my second generation spyder. Yeah, they aren't worth much now, but they are cool to dink around with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Went to the Hillsboro shop. Very nice staff and a good crowd showed up. A lot of fun. Definitely getting interested in getting some items. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Glad to hear it. We kind of kind of hijacked the paintball thread to talk about airsoft. To me, paintball and airsoft scratch the same itch. Edit: Sorry Pumpkin, but I will play paintball with you if you go out to Splat Action or any other. Also, maybe you can meet up with Biggs and I out at OAA. It's about an hour drive for me to get there, but a good game, with teammates that will work with you and opponents that will laugh with you in the end is well worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 All is good. :) Now that I know there is interest we may have to set up a weekend and see how many people we can get to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bigglesworth Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Sorry about hijack. Count me is interested. I would just need a rental or borrow option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
