Paintball Event October 13, 2007

Ballist's picture

Greetings all of you up for a bit of fun,
Sometime ago there was a post for paintball and a few of us expressed an interest in getting together but nothing really came of it. Well here is our chance!!! I have been emailing back and forth with Mike Pratt and we have ironed out some details. Here they are:
* What: Paintball Event - modern combat tactics with the possibility of CW tactics. Camo's or something similiar for clothing. CW uniforms worn at your own risk!!! This event is also BYOP - Bring Your Own Paintballs.
* When & Where: October 13th at the Pratt Household (in Farmington) - Mike will be posting directions. Field of play is close to Mike's house...not in the house. Meet at his place at 9:00 AM and begin play by 9:30 AM at the latest. Play ends sometime in the mid to late afternoon with a cookout to follow. Why the 13th? I checked the calendars of the following units - 3rd Maine, 15th Alabama, 20th Maine and 29th Georgia - and all units have an open date.
* Why: Because it's so bloody fun!!! Not bloody in the literal sense but more of the English accent sense.
* Cost (if you own equipment): gas and food / snacks.
* Cost (if you don't own equipment): gas, food / snacks, paintballs & $10.00. I have a friend who owns 6 extra guns (2 pumps and 4 semi's) and 6 extra masks. If people want to borrow his equipment he is more than willing to lend it to them for the day. All he asks is $10.00 to help cover the cost of the air for the tanks and maintenance on the guns. You can pick up paintballs at Wal-Mart. The use of his equipment is first come first serve. If you want to borrow a gun and mask you need to do one of two things (1) let me know in an email you are interested - my email: tensix@prexar.com or (2) just reply to this post.
That's all for now. Any questions just reply to the post or email me. Hope to see you on the field!!!
Sincerely,
Mark Rohman

Directions......

Well here we go!
The best thing is to start this in Farmington proper...From the center of Farmington looking north,(the intersection where you see a bank two insurance companies and a hippi shop, theres a light.) turn right,(left if you are facing south, ie coming down from rangely or kingfield) but I digress. you are now heading up Broadway on to perham street going twords industry on 43....you will stay on 43 for about five or six miles, you will be on a very straight section of road with trees on both sides when you see it clearing ahead and a house that has a sign that says "Adams Family" on a saw blade get ready to turn left, going up the hill on Mosher hill rd. Stay on this road for about three and a half miles and you will see a sign for a road on the right. that turn would be federal row....go down federal row we are located in the second duplex first unit...I will put out a marker that you cant miss!

Just great!

This is great guys! I'm very excited about this and would love an opportunity to get together, socialize, and shoot you! :)

However, I will be unable to attend as I will be visiting Battleship Cove with friends that day. Sorry,

Mike,
Sorry we won't see you there...I'm sure if it goes well we will have another game. So far I have one person (Craig "Picnic" Young) putting dibs on 1 of the 6 guns & masks so we are down to 5 guns & masks available.

Conflict with date

Sorry guys, as much as I would like to come I have the Waldo County Championships in Cowboy Fast Draw that weekend. The Downeast (Washington & Hancock Counties) Championship is next weekend in Blue Hill. Anyway, hopefully we will be able to do this another time as well.

Hey Will,
Thanks for the response and good to hear you are interested. If it goes well (which I'm sure it will) then we'll probably do another one at some point. We'll keep you posted and go from there.
