Paintball shots from PSP Mid-Atlantic Open

Just got back from a long trip to South Carolina for another professional paintball event, here are some of my favorite shots:

Nice series, great catch on 2 & 8.. Where abouts in SC was this?

Rock Hill. Great shots, Pancho. The last one is amazing timing.

Is the ref in the first one clocking the speed of the ball?

He's making sure that the gun is shooting less than 13.3 balls per second - the guns in PSP are capped at that.

The ref is checking the velocity of the balls, its a radar gun I think. There is also a ref on the sideline with a parabolic mic hooked up to a PACT timer to check rate of fire. Its serious business.

This photo illustrates very well why I have plenty of welts...

Me too. I have not been able to get out for about 2 years.

Really like the two shots of the exploding paintballs on the guns. But the best IMHO is the facemask shot!

Heh, for whatever reason I thought those had both functions on them....chronograph and timer. Whoops.

I want to get back into it. The last time I played I slide into a spike they left in the ground behind the bunker. About 60 stitches and a torn acl.

Ouch that had to hurt.. I would rather sit on the side lines but what about your camera getting hit by a paint ball or you

close, its 15.3

It got lowered this year.

yep PSP lowered the ROF to promote more aggressive play. I need to start playing again as well.

My favorite is the white framed I3 Pro picture.
