These are from the PSP Phoenix Open last month. Dry clear air in a bright desert environment made for some great photos

LOVE the Boston Red Legion one! Great timing getting all of the paintballs hitting - not an easy task!

Thanks Debbie but only one ball hit the player, he was filling his hopper with a pod and as it was overflowing he got hit right in the goggles. Here is an animation so you can see what happened

That's a heck of a shot.

Oh, and one heck of a burst for that animation.

Yeah, I could see that - got nailed while filling his hopper, pod in hand! :) That's gotta suck!

I guess I should have been clearer - I meant the paintballs hitting in all of your pictures. You have a great knack for catching it right at the right moment!

Great work!

Great shots! The Legion shot is huge.

BTW, I did say hello to you in Phoenix. Remember I mentioned POTON?

Nice pics, but do you have any more woodsball shots?


Some people think that paintball is violent, they apparently don't play video games.

Outstanding work.

It's interesting to see how the publication(s) tweak your images for their use. Some look pretty stock but some look almost unrecognizeable. Congrats on getting so much pub'd.

Hey thanks for the link. Those pictures are great. I've always played woodsball, not that i don't like speedball, but its just not for me.

But have you ever heard of a little woodsball field called 'Hidden Valley" in Ettric WI.Their two big games are "The Alamo" (in may) and "The Battle of Bocage."
