Friendly Fire Practice
Well it’s nearly 10:00 p.m. here Sunday night (I’m posting this to the morning – if you notice things out of time context it’s because we have to make atleast one post every weekday morning, so I’m generally writing stuff early), and I think I could just crash right now and sleep forever. Played a good six hours at Friendly Fire again today - our second weekend in a row. The three man young guns is in two weeks, and I’m glad we’ve been fortunate enough to practice as much as we have lately. It’ll be my first tourney, Dana’s second so we’re taking in all the help we can get.
There were some great people there, older guys mainly that were real helpful. “Doc� was probably the coolest. If I’m still able to play paintball at his age, well that’d just be fine. He sort of coached us through a couple games, and really pointed out a lot of things we should be doing (or not doing).
I still remember our worst blunder yet, quite clearly actually. I broke to the back right standup, Dana stayed home and was shooting right, Ben broke to back left and looked right, and JP had taken the left 30, and was also looking right. By the time I stood up my bunker was being torn to shreds, and I look out to the left side to see Doc and Josh gunning their way up the left tape. I took one to the mask, and amazingly it bounced but I had called myself anyways figuring there’s no way that it couldn’t have busted. Well, that leaves the rest of my team looking right, all three of them, and Doc and Josh slip right along the side and take them out. It wasn’t one of our better games.
We took a ton of video again, and all I need now is a special firewire so I can get this in the computer. Real cool footage though. I think I’ll draw up the field layout sometime tomorrow, and post it up. I love to analyze fields, so I figure it’ll make an interesting topic.
