I got into the sport about a year ago. I currently have a Spyder Pilot with a Q Loader and a Proto barrel if it matters =) my first gun so its a good experiment. Maybe my next gun will be a Tippman I like the tactical looks on thoes guns. Speed ball is pretty cool but I like that forest area that we have there. My goal is to play at least once a month rain or shine =) so call if you need a spare player
