Now that was a good day of paintball!

It was RC's X-ball debut. Even though it was only a practice, it was our first time playing the format. We did have a slight advantage in that we could carry all of the paint and air we would need for 5 games onto the field at once. We did have to wipe old hits between games and we did pod up a couple of times but we were ready to rock (and cock) when the buzzer went off.

It pretty much rained all day making for a rough time seeing the paint and keeping the equipment clean but we still played some solid paintball and came out 1-1 in our two matches. We didn't win any games the first match, but we all played really well and every point was won with only one or two bodies. We weren't able to bounce back from one game where we were up by several bodies but a quick shift in momentum put us on the wrong side of the scoreboard.

Match 2 was a different story. We dropped the first point but responded promptly with a point of our own. We traded points again making the match score 2-2. It was race to 3 so this was the one that counted. It was a nail-biter with each team trading G's. There were some really close calls but in the end C-rob and Owen pulled out the last point.

After 2 matches and 4 hours of rain, we were pretty much done. O-face snuggled up with Rocky while Amish spent some quality time with a case of Bronze. It was a tough day...the guys were getting some well deserved rest on the way home.
