I used a flatline for a while and found that just angling the gun to the side, hooked the balls around trees. I was not good enough to make use of it though, and after one broken ball, you were practically out of the game. I also found that there were more bounces with it, due to the decrease in velocity at the end of flight.

I use J&J barrels...

I am going to be attempting soem home anodizing here this weekend. I am gonna test it out on one of ym old guns before i do it on the cocker. I want black but i think it will probably bleed to a gun metal when i seal the color in... Ill let you all know how it goes an dget some pics if i actualy do it...

new toy. picked up a barely used ion for 130$ shipped.
I can't wait to mod it.

I also picked up a palmers persuit shop brass barrel to see if its really as accurate as everyone says.

palmer persuit is low volume and has been around forever. If it wasnt good, they would be bankrupt by now.

Best barrel I ever shot was a dye stainless steel 10"

not to hijack but can i get a quick opinnion?
I was stripping the Cocker preparing to prepare for the anodizing and thought may be i should just polish the hell out of it instead of anodizing it. What do you'all think?

even if you polish the hell out of it you will want clear anodizing to keep it from coroding - polished aluminum doesn't stay shiney by itself

after gettin prices for anodizing and polishing and a couple other things. The entire gun is getting Chromed. Not exactly what i was going for but for $65 and with a lifetime warranty i figure i might as well...
if nothing else i can put it on a chain and become a rapper or somethin : )

Guess you don't play any woodsball

yeah, i do but i have a camoflague wrap for when im in the woods.

Its actualy a "shotgun sock". Bought it form Gander Mountain for liek $5 or so... Just a really stretchy piece of camo fabric usually used on a shotgun when turkey/deer hunting or somethin but it is stretchy enough that it fits over my gun nicely...

gun wraps are handy things

i just got my ion dialed in yesterday using the palmers dual regulator setup and an anti-syphon co2. i tested it with non anti-syphon tank first and if anything made it past the first regulator the second regulator took care of it completely. with the skeleton bolt and qev its shooting 280fps at 110psi and even when i use the adaptor for the palmers unported spyder barrel on it its still a heck of a lot quieter than the quietest spyder i ever put together.

ps. could you use your signiture once per page?

Here's Kohburn on the field of battle:

Not what you want to see when you come around a bend on a foot path:

Here's me, in about 1000, dollars worth of gear: Tippmann A5 e/grip w/flatline barrel, collapsable stock, red dot sight, internal mods. True Marine Propper digi woodland Camo pants and coat, Broadsword vest, PCS goggle with tinted thernal lens and fan, and radio. I may look mean, but i suck. I accidently "killed" my teammate Kohburn in one of the games that day.
