Line-Of-Fire Summer Camp

How I Spent my Summer Vacation by Jason “foolyb ear ” Lineberger Many have fond memories of summer camp experiences, but http://www.lofpb.com Line-of-Fire Paintball offered an alternative to trust falls and s’mores. Take away songs around a fire; keep capture the flag then add two cases of paint, three days of instruction, and an awards banquet, and you have an unforgettable summer! Rather than dropping cash on ineffective equipment upgrades, these players made the smart to choice to upgrade their skills instead, and it paid off. Line-of-Fire asked me to come back again this year for their three-day intensive paintball camp. From 9 to 5 the campers worked on all aspects of their game – from drills designed to hone snap shooting to ones ce ntered around developing and executing a game plan to complete scenario missions. Each day began with a stretch and an outline of the activities to come; then the participants loaded up on paint, aired up their tanks, and prepared to sweat. '

Teams were divided in 3 groups, they gave the best of their play in order to access to the “High level” group of the afternoon.

Challenge for Children...

Image
On Sunday, June 12th, MN Pro Paintball donated $20,037.36 to the Children’s Hospitals of Minnesota for the 3rd annual Challenge for Children’s Big Game. Matt Ames, the owner of MN Pro Paintball, created Challenge for Children’s in 2009. He says, “Challenge for Children’s is important because of the foundation to which the money goes to. The money from this event goes to the MN Pro Paintball endowment fund, which specifically benefits the cardiac division at Children’s Hospitals.” Challenge for Children’s is MN Pro Paintball’s annual big game. Over 400 players attended the event, in which Minneapolis was pitted against St. Paul in an apocalyptic mission to gather valuable resources necessary for survival. The scenario was set in the near future, in a time where the banks of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers have over flown, causing the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul to be separated. The state and federal governments have collapsed, leaving Mayor Rybak to assume control over Minne

The Ladies Cup's aim was to bring together girls from each country in order to compete against different nations. So three teams emerged: Russian team, Germany and finally a French team.
