Kelly's Paintball Page

Here is where I will feature my current favorite hobby, Paintball. Paintball is a fun and challenging sport. It combines the mental and physical into one game. Below you will find links to the various sections of this page, as well as some useful links.

I own a Tippmann Model 98 paintball gun. I have upgraded the barrel to a Smart Parts All-American 14" and it is excellent. I tried the Dye Boomstick, and although I loved the looks of it on my gun, it kept breaking paint. I also have a Hot-Shot sight on my M98 and a modification to turn the CO2 tank backwards. This allows me more maneuverability and faster shooting speed. My M98 is totally black with only the hose in silver. I am planning on getting the hose covered soon so it will be 100% black.

I use a JT Spectra Thermal mask with one modification. I installed a computer CPU cooling fan with a 9 volt battery and switch. This keeps the fog off my lens.

I used to just shoot R.P.Scherer paint, but lately I have went to Proball. I like Proball because it sticks like candle wax! You don't get any wiping with Proball. I will and can (thanx to my All-American) use just about any paintball. I don't touch Brass Eagle. It sucks.

I have been playing for about 2 years now. My good friend Travis got into paintball with me. He's got a Tippmann Pro-Carbine. My wife Shellie also plays. She went the Kingman route and got a Spyder TL. She loves it and wouldn't use any other gun. I am impressed with the quality of the TL out of the box. It shoots accurate and quiet, and has a lot of upgrades to start with.

If you have never played paintball, and you want to, I would be happy to take you out. If you have played paintball, and still do, I hope to be shootin' you soon!
