From Bastitch: Official Paintball, Forney Texas Shane’s son (we can no longer call him “kid”) is back from a year in Iraq, so Shane asked us to go shoot some paint. Arrived about 0830, just a minute or two ahead of Shane. Dave (Steel) arrived about 45 minutes later. Paid for the day, suited up, and shot the following, swapping sides after each shoot at each location: 1 & 2, speedball, tube field. I’m pretty sure we lost both of these. I was first man out both times. Fairly standard speedball stuff. Shane’s son did a great take out of some bozo that though he could charge his position and make him surrender. The bozo got a chest full of paint instead. 3 & 4, Hybrid, Mogadishu field. Lost the first, won the second. I manned the tower both times and did my best to keep the jackals at bay for the rest of the team. I survived most of the first, and all but the last few seconds of the last. Made some excellent corner shots with the Apex barrel, taking a few out from a LOOOOONG way off. Ended the second game out of paint and air, waiving my side arm about to hold off the lone aggressor to the tower. I took a round with one ball left in my side arm, and Steel took their tower immediately after. 5 & 6, back to tube field. Pretty sure we lost both of these too. I did get lucky enough to advance to the far forward right corner, but was taken out by some good flanking and an aggressive charge – forcing me to surrender. 7 & 8, Wild West field. We took both of these. Lucky me – first out again – but managed to advance about half the length of the field and hold 3 guys down while Steel and some others took up better positions. Steel mopped up what I left behind. Side note – one of them dad burned speedballer monkeys bonus balled me. I took a hit to the collar bone (nice bruise), waved, stood up, turned around to walk off, and took two in the arm pit, two on the shoulder, one behind the ear, and felt another graze my collar. I was not pleased by this, and may have used inappropriate language. Second round went pretty much the same, I advanced enough to pin down three guys behind the jail and add some distraction to the ones behind the snake, before taking a solid hit to the top of the head. Gotta keep that thing under cover more. 9 & 10, New Fort, Woodball. We (Shane) won the first one by charging into their fort from the river side. I was (once more) first out as I was jacking with my marker – it started degassing on me. I was a sitting duck. Second match went better as I was a fort defender and managed to take out several opfor from long range, through the trees, with my Apex barrel. (I love this thing). I took a round just before an opfor charged into our fort, loosing it for us. Steel did shoot the bastard as he came through the door, but we still lost. Shane and crew had to depart after these. 11 & 12, Barrel field. More speedball stuff, with some pro speedballers joining in. I was meat on the Barbie both times. We took the second, lost the first. 13 & 14, Steel & I shot one on one duels, back on the tube field. I believe I cleaned his clock both times – or would have except the damn balls wouldn’ t break. And his safety was on, which sort of makes it hard to shoot your opponent. At least he didn’t throw his pistol at me. I displayed my usual mediocre performance; Shane and Steel did their usual high-level performance. Shane’s son did well, as did the others Shane brought. On a plus side note – the referees recognized us from BHD a few weeks ago, especially Shane. Nice to have a rep. From Silencer: Well me my son Tony my daughter Christy and her boyfriend Allen joined Bastitch and Steel at the Park in Forney as walkon's The first games where speed ball stuff and I was usually Second out but atleast it was after Bastitch (Now if the teams where equal we would have had a good chance of winning) most games of the day Allen was the last every time and if he new how to play (Today was his first time) he may not have been bunckered so many times.. On the Mogadishu fields it was funny to watch Bastitch hold off some kid with a speed ball gun and all Bastitch had was his pistol you could tell the kid hasn't played alot. The Fort game was a blast as we attacked the fort I took center my boy right Bas. and Steel left they had 3 out of the fort and 2 ran towards B&S as the game ran on i left the middle to flank left seen Steel waiting for the only guy left who was outside of the fort and Steel plugged him Twice in the back as he was laying down as i got on our left no one in the Fort was watching the left so i trodded in and we won.. The Second fort game me allan and a speedballer went left and i showed allen how we low crawl through the bushes AND then the fight started I shot at a group of 4 and laughed and got 1 out and laughed one ran back and got him twice in the back and he said I over shot and i laughed and then the grey shirt (the one the Ref's told us to light up becaues he wipes) after a few shots i found him and hit him twice in the mask but he kept on shooting so i leaned out and opened up on him after 8 shots to the mask and 4 down his chest he started yelling i was hit and out so i let him come over and check (He found nothing) and i laughed and his buddy White shirt tryed to come up behind him (using him as a shield) and i started shooting of course Grey shirt told me to stop shooting him and i laughed again but White shirt was out and then they called game There team had gotten someone in on the other side... Had to leave to get the Daughter to work.. Had a good time but we need to get our own group out there to play against each other.......
