SO...WHO'S WITH ME?!?!??!

[cnizz]

I think I'm goin with a group of friends

[druid]

Information updated on the first post!!!

[Ace24]

I will make this one. I'm pretty sure.

[druid]

I'm going up early Friday to set up camp and stuff. I'm taking my canvas Civil War Officer's (reinactment) tent as a 'staging' area and hospitality area for Team PennDragon...and I want to play the night game that night.
My 18 yr old daughter is going as photographer and my sister's lending me her digital camcorder. We can take footage, dump it into my duaghter's laptop and start over again. Lemme know if you're going, or your buddy and his girl...we can hang!!

[Ace24]

Night game eh? Thats what I've upped my MR1 for haha. It's got a high powered lithium flashlight on it right now. (One that says on the box, "Do not look directly into light... could cause temparary to perminate blindness." Wich of course, I do as soon as I open it.... :doh:

I hope to have the MR1 done by then... that is if the suggested parts by Kingman come out... Then I can finally get that damned MR3 rail and Red Dot I so desperately need.

[druid]

Nice. I will be using the Ion, M98 (rain?), 68 Magnum or Trracer. I just made a deal...trading my stock Cocker for an 88/45 with newly rebuilt MaxFlo and 4 years left on hydro...

[VS3 Sniper]

I have a question I have a rocking trigger frame on my mr1 is it legal?

88peanut?

Man, talk about expensive, that's rediculous... I can play local scenarios for $25 entry fee and $55/case paint. It looks really cool, but not worth $126 at minimum... wow.
