Hey man. First up, welcome to the forums!:thumbsup:

There is a 3man tournament on in 2 weeks time (01-10-06). That is a GREAT place to start if you want to get into the tourny scene.

About obtaining a paintball gun... hmm... someone over 18 can answer that

Hey Wemple, if your after markers best thing to do is some shopping around. Maybe go into the archives of bills and look for similar asked questions on first markers. Then it's all a mater of budget. Check out some of the following sites for markers and related paintball equipment.
www.propaintballshop.com.au
www.tomahawkpaintball.com.au
these guys support the local South Australian scene

If your interested in playing in the SAPPA tourneys, PM me or you can call me on 0438 633 827 for any info.

Good luck and welcome to the mad house :rofl:

Mate.. Come down to Adrenalin Paintball Sportz in 2 weeks, Sunday 1st October.. We are running a 3 man tourny and all down there will be more than willing to answer questions and let you try different markers out.. Best way to start.. Also best way to fine a new team. Most days like these there is always a team looking for a extra player..

[blunderboy]

You will be right mate. Legs will be there and he does a great job all by himself.

No Way ..... Tourney Ball

No no! Bushball!!!:rant:

Seriously mate, you may find after a while, you will do both.

Tourney gives you the speed at movement and advance to your next point of advantage. Bushball gives you patience and a helluva sense of achievement after fighting back and forth for upwards of an hour to finally win and achieve your objective.

Ultimately mate, its up to you. And don't, under any circumstances, feel pressured. As Carman says, "I'm seriously, you guys...":thumbsup:

[QUOTE=Hornet Driver;169921]No no! Bushball!!!:rant:

we could toss that old argument back and forward forever but he's right you may end up wanting to play both.
I probably get into both formats of the game but I have enough problem paying for tourneys and fields down here mostly don't have high pressure air compressors. I have nothin against woodsball, give it a go you'll have a blast.
:thumbsup:
