Right now, the only event in the near future that I’m certain about is the Line-of-Fire summer camp, where I’m psyched to be working with Mike Paxson of the LA Ironmen to teach a three day paintball clinic with plenty of fun for everyone.

Event concludes

Accuracy. Out of the box, I gassed it up and shot some old paint lying around, because I couldn’t wait to get to the field. First three shots landed on top of each other. Since then, using better paint, I’ve been completely impressed with the Geo, as far as accuracy goes. It’s an amazingly stable shooting platform, and here’s a testimonial for you - it’s the first gun I’ve ever had that I didn’t almost immediately change the stock barrel for an aftermarket one. I’m completely pleased with the Geo’s standard tube.

Efficiency. I rarely carry more than four pods and a hopper-full onto the field, and the Geo easily handles that, even with a 3K tank. I’ll try to do some more exact efficiency tests, but for now, I have no issues at all in this area. As far as battery life goes, I’m still using the battery it came with, not even at 50% battery yet.

Reliability. Now I’ve played a 24 hour game and two long rec’ days, and I’ve experienced nothing but flawless performance. The Geo’s super easy on paint, and in four cases through it, I’ve only had one ball break - in the barrel. Yesterday I shot X-Ball Golds, paint so brittle that I couldn’t get one to bounce off the netting, even when I shot nearly perpendicular to the net. This paint could break on anything. One barrel break all day. Playing scenario, you get all manner of paint to shoot, and so far, the Geo’s perfectly handled everything from dimpled field paint to X-Ball Gold. At the chrono, it’s super easy to adjust and more consistent than any marker I’ve ever used. Beautiful.

Feel. It’s intuitively easy to shoot, and even though I have slow fingers, I can get it ripping, even in semi. It looks great and feels light but solid in my hands. What’s not to like?

It may not have the mil-sim feel that some players desire, but as far as performance goes, I’ve never played with a better gun on the scenario field.

Interestingly, Spiro’s idea of running several events in one season that form a single, long narrative is also being done at Adventure Beach for the Skynet series.  Here’s a recent press release from Adventure Beach.The Futures Uncertain as the Cyborg forces lay waste to the human resistance during Skynet Part I at Adventure Beach.

Adventure Beach played host to what might one day be a future historic battle to save mankind from the termination.
On Feb 7 the first chapter in a three-part battle between the Cyborg Armies and the human resistance played out on the 80 acre Adventure Beach Scenario Paintball facility near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Sponsored by Tippmann, ProCaps Direct and Kee Action Sports, 225 people participated in the first act of the trilogy of scenario events based on “The Terminator” storyline. In addition to slinging paint, players, volunteers and staff raised $850 for the Buck Creek Church’s Ben Lay Charity Drive.
On the field, Wesley Jacobs 16 commanded of the human resistance in the role of Gen. John Conner. Jacobs led dozens of individual players and regional paintball teams, such as the Charlotte Dogs of War, Myrtle Beach Team MBmisfits, Charlotte Chaos Parade and the Roanoke SSK from Virginia.
However, despite the valiant efforts of the human warriors, the Cyborg Commander Larry “Ironman” Rivenbark of the Topsail Beach’s Team Rogue Cell and the forces of SKYNET terrorized the humans on every front. When not on the run from “Terminator” units that repeatedly infiltrated the human command structure, cyborg forces, such as Wilmington Port City Militia, Laurinburg Carolina Sabers, Columbia, SC Section 8, Jacksonville Team Rats and others, pushed humanity to the brink of extinction.
The final score for the event was Cyborgs 2900; Humans 900. Myrtle Beach’s Shadow Group volunteering as referees and staff for the game. The event was also featured as the lead story in the Sun News’s Sunday local section with an extended photo gallery on their web site.
However, this is not the end of humanity’s last stand. On April 25-26, part two of the SKYNET story will take place.
“This isn’t a stand-alone scenario,” Kevin Shimwell, Adventure Beach owner said. “The events that happened in part one will have a direct effect on where the forces will start and what resources they will have.”
SKYNET Part II will test the paintball teams on several levels. Not only will their tactical and shooting skills be tested.
“Stay tuned Part II which may be a true 24-hour event,” Shimwell said. “There will be no time for sleep. We will be running missions for 24 hours straight.”

24 hours straight?  Intriguing, and on a field like Adventure Beach, this could lead to some great action on what’s becoming one of my favorite fields to play.  Time to round up the team and register for 24 hours of paintball action!
