Harpies Girls Day

Image
A couple of weekend ago the ALL girl paintball team from France The 'Harpies' organised a “Girls’ Day” where all the girls of French playing paintball teams were invited to participate in a day of training and fun. The day was held at Starter Park on two Paintball Turf fields. During the day, they played and learnt from each other’s and shared good techniques, strategies, experiences. The ICON guys were also on hand to give them some ‘Pro Team’ advices too. On the evening, there was a dinner at the restaurant of the club (yes the Paintball club has a restaurant) But most of all the day was basically where girls of Paintball shared stories and had some Paintball fun !! Check out the video… Some great training drills that everyone should check out! HARPIES GIRLS DAY from ICON Job on Vimeo .

Service Scandinavian Style....

Image
Scandinavia has always been a paintball hotspot with some of the most disciplined and skillful players of recent years emanating from the region. Eclipse are fortunate to have a strong following throughout Scandinavia, largely due to the support and service offered by our network of dealers in the vicinity which includes the likes of specialized companies such as Sissos, Paintball Norge, Wiseguys, Hypersports, Stratec, ED Trading, Powerplay and Copenhagen Paintball Arena. With the popularity of Eclipse markers and products continuing to rise over recent years; two of Sweden’s most recognized paintball players, Mikael “Micki” Manner and Hans “Hasse” Fagerstrom from DOW, have taken it upon themselves to branch out and enhance the level of support that it is available to Eclipse customers throughout Scandinavia by formally establishing Tech Centre Sweden as a universal Scandinavian Eclipse Service Centre. So what does this mean? Basically think of them like the technical/paintball version...

Black Karma season opener !

Image
Black Karma kicked off its fourth season in 2011 at Urban Scenario’s Operation: Nobel Cause at the Alabama National Guard MOUT Range at Fort McClellan in Anniston, AL. MOUT is Military Operation in Urban Terrain or in other words this is where the military trains for urban warfare. The only way to describe paintball at a MOUT site is non-stop, heart pounding intense action. The game is played in a town setting and the gun fights go from the woods to the streets into the buildings and eventually room to room. Another element of MOUT site paintball that differs from other forms of paintball is adjusting to fighting people in third and fourth story windows or on rooftops of buildings while you stand on the street. Just when you adjust to the fighting above you, someone sneaks through the sewer system to get behind you and shoot you in the back. Some of our unlucky opposition learned what it is like when Karma catches up to you and it was not good for them. Violence is slowly intensi...

Jason “foolybear” Lineberger has been a member of the Planet Eclipse Emortal army for a few years now.

John has a long mustache; John has a long mustache." It...

Donations can be made directly to Paintballers 4 Autism via paypal at pballer4autism@yahoo.com Sunday January 30th 2011 Written By: Gerry Bates Paintball is a small community packed with individuals with various levels of talent, skill, motivation and dedication. It is not very often that you hear of Paintballer’s banding together on a common front. Mostly there is fierce competition to be recognized as the Best of The Best. Some say that chivalry is dead. I say different…at least on THIS day! I was privileged to be invited to attend an event in Connecticut held at D & D Paintball. This event was scheduled as the Paintballer’s 4 Autism 3 Man Open. PB4A is the brainchild of Mr. Rick Greenaway. This collective effort extends to several of his close friends and family all banding together to help raise money for Autism Research. I met Mr. Greenaway and was immediately taken in by his humble demeanor. We sat for some time and had some personal conversation about how Autism af...
