So today was the first official Rockin’ Cocks/RC Revoultion practice for 2011 at PEV’s paintball in Aldie, VA. The day started off with Lefty's alarm failing to go off and temps in the 30’s instead of the 60’s like the news said. But everything became right once we got to the field. The first signs of the good things to come was the fact that the Rev’s and the two new Rev’s were already there, and the second was when we found out we were gonna get to play for free. The practice format for today was 3-man Race to 2 in anticipation of the upcoming ECPPL event at the end of April.
The first game set Rockin’ Cocks against RC Rev and with two quick points RC was on top, one nothing. But game two saw RC win the first point and drop the next two to RC Rev and the score was now 1-1. Game three and four were quick games and RC came out on top finishing the 3-man practice with a final score of 3-1. The next few games were 4 on 4 mixed teams and some were straight battles and others were not. Some of the big moves in these games came on both sides of the field, which by the way was NPPL Vegas 2010.
The two new Rev’s got an intro to RC paintball, and held out well to say the least. Brendon pulling off two 2 on 1’s to win both games, and Scott holding down the D-side with a few muggings on the 50 Doritos to open a few games up. Probably the highlight of the day was when it was Lefty, Me, Scott and JJ vs. CMCD, Bacon, Justin, and Brendon. I’d been wanting to try this 40 Aztec run off the break on the D-side and Lefty was gonna go D1 on the break. The break out was flawless on both sides. Scott made his bunker, JJ got to the snake corner, I got to my bunker, and Lefty hit D1 popped out and shot CMCD. A second later, he shot the D-side corner and I was already taking off across field towards the snake and ran down the outside of it mugging Bacon who was in D2 and then cyclopesing Justin who was in the snake corner when he tried to look inside. The overall game time was less then 30 seconds and the team finished 4up. Although this was not to say the day was without injury or a few laughs. Poor Justin was in the snake side corner and last alive and he took a straight shot to the “lower parts” and immediately dropped to the ground. Poor Lefty got ear holed as tried to pull a move on the D-side from JJ who was in the snake and needless to say his ear is still ringing and last but not least is Bacon. Poor Bacon played the snake twice and on both occasions he was on the receiving end of one of my many snake muggings, on his last attempt when I ran the inside he took several point blank shots to the hand and needless to say was bleeding everywhere. Sorry buddy! Probably the funniest thing was when Lefty forgot about Brendon, but its way to hard to describe, you had to be there to see it.
Overall the day was great, the weather was about 50 when we finished and no wind to boot. The paint shot great, everyone played hard. The only downside I can think of was the swamp that was the snake and the fact that Lefty never got to get that soaked experience.
Later!
Chrispy aka the 5-0
The RC Family is pleased to announce that we have teamed with St!ffi Barrels for the 2011 season. A few of the team members have already been shooting Stiffi for a few years and the rest are excited to get their hands on the lightest barrels on the market. Even better, Stiffi has recently started manufacturing barrels as small as .679 which is perfect for pump players in this world of shrinking paint. Add that to the fact that these barrels are hand made in the USA and come with a lifetime warranty...we can't wait to get our hands on some fresh barrels.
