Northern Virginia Paintball

June 8th - Big Game @ Hogback Mountain

D-Day

D-Day is Hogback’s longest running Annual Game, and their most popular Event.  (Last time Brad and a few friends went they had a blast.)

Check out Hogback’s website for more details and to buy tickets - www.hogback.net

Ticket Sale Offer

Purchase your D-Day Tickets by 10:00pm Sunday June 1st (which is THIS SUNDAY) for only $10.00!

You may purchase tickets online at Hogback’s website, or by calling 703-777-0057 OR at Check-It Paintball Stores.

After June 1st tickets are $15 each, or $20 the day of the event.

Rental equipment will be available to use.

Hogback will be raffling off prizes like Tippman markers and other surprises!

In addition, the Pro-Shop will be having a sale that day, so make sure to check it out!

We’ve had to cancel our May game since, to date, there were only a total of 6 people confirmed to come, which was not enough for me to want to shell out a deposit for a private game only to potentially cancel it late next week.

Hopefully we’ll be able to get our game on late-June and have a few night games this summer.  If you’re itching to play check out Hogback’s website for their Big Game Announcements.

Final Update: Paintball for this weekend has been canceled!  The threat of rain scared off enough people to not allow us to have the adequate amount of folks to play. 

We’ll see you all mid-May, stay tuned for an updated date and evite for next month.

Currently we have NINE folks signed up for tomorrow’s game.  Hogback requires a minimum of 8 players for a private game, so I am trying to confirm with everyone that they WILL be there tomorrow.  If not, we may end up calling the game.  Please check back later today to see if the game is still on!

If you don’t hear otherwise, we’ll plan on meeting you at Hogback at 12:30pm tomorrow.  We’re expected to get some rain tomorrow, but the plan is to play rain or shine, I think 80% of the time when we play it’s supposed to rain and not once in the past 2+ years we’ve been playing have we ever been rained on.

Hopefully we’ll see you tomorrow!

Cheers,

We have a HUGE crowd coming out this time! It’s actually the biggest group we’ve had in the past 2-3 years, so this should be exciting.

Quick note about the weather:  According to Weather.com there is a slight chance of rain - we will play, rain or shine.  :) 

Please be on time, we want to be playing by 1:30pm - so make sure to show up early so you can get signed in, get your paintball gun checked, rent any gear, etc. Hogback requires a waiver to be signed; you can fill it out at the field, or you can print it off online and fill it out at home so you save a few minutes when you get there.

Please remember this is a beginner to intermediate game.  If you have your own gun with a double trigger or any other high-tech additions that allow you to play much more advanced than our new folks with their rental equipment,  we ask that you please tone it down. We like our new folks to keep coming back because they enjoyed themselves and had fun; getting sprayed with 60 balls a second isn’t all that fun to most of us.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to email me, or leave a comment here on the site!  We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!

Looking for something to do post-Christmas?  Want to break in your new paintball gear? Check out Hogback’s December Big Game - Santa vs. the Grinch on December 29th.

Details:

On his way back to the North Pole, Santa crashes his sleigh, spreading gifts all over the fields of Hogback Mountain Paintball.  The Grinch gets word of the crash and he is on his way to collect all of the gifts and thus ruin Christmas.  It is up to Santa and his team of elves to find the gifts first and fight off the Grinch and his minions.

Check in: 8:30am

Game Ends: 5:00pm

Tickets are $15 or $20 at the gate on the 29th.

Field Paint Only - $15 for 500.

Have a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a great game if you decide to go to Santa. vs. the Grinch!

We’re still playing paintball this weekend. Just in case any of you were wondering. Bundle up, it’s gonna be a cold one!

UPDATE: And yes, rain or not we are going to be out there at Hogback to play; as long as everyone else doesn’t wimp out!

This will be the last paintball game of the year and I hope everyone is looking forward to it!

It’ll be chilly (highs in the mid-40’s), so layer up and don’t forget gloves if you don’t already play with them.

For those of you joining us for the first time, Hogback requires a waiver be signed for everyone.  You can fill it out at the field, or you can download the PDF version and have it ready to go when you get there by clicking here.

See everyone Saturday afternoon!

Sorry for taking so long to post these!  Here are the pics from the October game that Sandra organized.

Thank you to everyone who came out to yesterday’s game and made it a success! An October game is still being decided on, and an evite/email will go out as soon as possible about that.

To check out more photos from yesterday’s game, scroll down and look to the right and click the link under Photos, or click here. Don’t forget to check out this past games “Honorable Mentions” to the right as well!

A few last things - please make sure to check for ticks!

Also, we picked up a pair of gloves and an orange rag that were left after everyone departed - if these are yours, please let us know and we can get them back to you; either at the next game or if you need them sooner we can arrange for them to be picked up.

Thanks again for a great game!
