at check out so the field commander can note it for future play.

play in the rain?
A: Yes
we do! Rain has made for some outstanding (if somewhat messy) play.

halted and play will resume depending on conditions and weather advisories.

package option!
Q: Should I bring tools?
A: Yes, even the best markers have problems from time to time.
Each marker requires different tools so learn your's. A good start includes:
folding Hex or Allen wrench set, Screw driver (look at your marker and
loader for size and type), Adjustable wrench, Teflon tape.
General Questions:
Q: Does a better marker make you a better player?
A: No, just a poorer one. In all seriousness, reliability is
key. Does it matter if you can empty a hopper in 10 seconds or put a
ball all the way across the field if your marker goes down at the start
of the game?
Q: My Gun leaks, what is wrong?
A: Check the O-rings and seals. Isolate the location with soapy
water. Have you cleaned and lubricated the gun? Is the bolt cocked? Still Leaks? Bring it on into the Pro-Shop for a look-see.
Q: How many shots does a co2 tank have?
A: Not Including variations in temperature, humidity, and importantly
the marker factors such as expansion chambers etc:
9oz: 250-350
12oz: 450-650
20oz: 750-850
And remember, the few extra shots is not worth getting them over filled.
