Apologies (and we are still alive!)

I wanted to apologize for a lack of posts since May – AND no paintball games!  We’re still alive, Brad and I have just been very busy, and out of town the majority of the summer.  Believe me, we’re dying to play paintball as soon as we can.

We’ll be setting up a game for late September soon, so please check back in the next few weeks (if you’re not already on our evite) and we’ll be announcing the date and time.

Note regarding lack of responses to comments: If you’re new and have left us a comment on our blog, and haven’t received a response from me, my apologies.  This blog has gotten a lot more popular than I ever thought and we get hundreds of spam a day.  Unfortunately, the down side of having a good spam filter is that sometimes it catches your comments and it takes me awhile (when I have the free time!) to go through all of them and see which ones are actually comments, and not spam.

I’m considering setting up a contact email address for this blog…so please stay tuned on that as well, for now, please keep commenting.

We’re looking forward to seeing you guys in September!

Big Game: D-Day at Hogback Mountain

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!

Another Canceled Game

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.

No Paintball this Weekend

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.

FYI Regarding Tomorrows Game

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,

-Jen

Largest NV Paintball Game

We had the largest group to date come out yesterday with over 30 people! Thank you to everyone who came out and played with us!

Pics are up! Just scroll down and click the link under “Photos” (to the right).  And make sure to check out the “Honorable Mentions” to the right as well.

We’ll be announcing our April game in the next week, so stay tuned!

Countdown to the first paintball game of the year….

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!
