Some players who went to the big game recently may recognise David Doust, though the picture is a bit blurred. He visited a few fields whilst he was on holiday in the US and the UK.

The blackboy title isn't a racist slur - it is the name of the plant the player is hiding behind. Blackboys are a real bain to paintballers, you can see a player through them, but the spines are very effective in stopping paintballs from getting through. (A mega- pain in night games)

In the summer of '95 we played at a big game in Kennan called "Operation Hobble". The idea was to float this gunboat down the "'crik" to a safe haven. It wasn't that easy, and neither team could do it. But, the gunboat was a work of art! The image is hazy, but you get the idea.

Summer, '95. Operation Hobble. This gal had never played before, and here she is, neck deep in the creek defending the gunboat from the opposite bank. She was holding off 3 other guys too! Moments after I got this picture, she got nailed right in the goggles. The best part is that after the big game she won a Tippman Pro-Lite too! How fitting!

Spring, '95 we went to Run-N-Gun. It was a group thing. A collection of us from Winona RPSIG (Some of whom are also 'Patrollers...) and some other guys who are used to playing bandit-ball in the 'Cities. Played a lot of laid-back paintball, had a good time too. Pictures available of Moondragon undressing post game, but I dare not scan them. :) (Ikari took 'em, NOT ME!)
From left to right, 1st row : "Runt" (AKA Velcro head after a bad haircut / head shave....), "Moondragon", BJ (AKA The One Armed Bandit). Row 2, kneeling : "Matrix", Rich, One of the b-b players who's name I never did get. 3rd row, standing : Another bandit player, who's name I didn't get either, "Em" (AKA "Da Brat", "Jailbait", "Trouble"...), "Vixen", "Tyger", "Red" (AKA "Amish")

From Minnesota to the '94 World Record game is a long distance. About 23 hours driving. We started Friday morning to go to the house we were staying at about 6 AM, left that house in PA at 6:30 AM, and got to the game late. My memories are (thankfully) hazy at best, but my photos aren't so bad. Here's what I honestly remember from it.  There were a lot of rocks. A WHOLE LOT OF ROCKS! (They didn't tell me about ROCKS when I called for info...) The parking lot was Woodstockenesque, Our resident mooch got a free t-shirt someone left behind! Matrix wanted to win a gun, so he ate paintballs. He didn't win (Exhaustion...) And, the driving. I got to like the back seat of my Honda, and TUNNELS! Is Pennsylvania FULL of tunnels or WHAT?!?!? At least the tolls weren't bad driving there ($40 to get from MN to PA...)  If they do this again, I'm flying and getting a limo if I go. It'll be cheaper.

 Info: Sgt. Sloan's is probably Nova Scotia's most-used paintball field. Not owned by any particular club or organization, the field is supported by a co-operative effort between many groups who like to utilize the facilities. On site are three outdoor playing fields. 

1. The Runway - About as much area as a football field. Large & old trees, lots of green & moss. Lots of space between trees, not much bush.

2. The Ravine - About 2-3 times larger in area than The Runway. Forest is much younger, much more decidious trees. A brook ravine runs through the middle of the course, and drops gradually to about 50 feet lower than the upper sides.

3. Bunker Hill - About 4-5 times larger than the Runway. Forest is medium age to old. Depending on area of the course. Features quite a variety of terrain. Log bunkers built at each end, fortresses, and towers. Due to the sheer size of this course, this is used for large teams and major games lasting an hour or more.

All land is Crown Land, meaning it is owned by the Canadian Government. The land is being leased through funding by various organizations who utilize the field.

Most of these pics were taken during a photo shoot for the provincial (ie state) paper, hence the decent quality. However, my scans are a touch dark so they will have to be lightened a bit to bring forth their true grandure :)

Me in my GQ pose. This one graced the front page of the Sunday edition of the provincial paper (fame at last!). That isn't my 'gun, it's Mike's (see later), but it looked more impressive than mine :(

Me again, emerging from the shadows (I'm the black bit in the middle, behind the 'gun). Another pic from the photo shoot.

From the days of yor, when 12 grams were still popular (1994 - 2 years ago), Mark does something heroic. Not a photo shoot pic (can't you tell?).

Mike "The Bush" Bannister demonstrates how to impress newbies and become entangled in heavy brush. This was one of the ones that adorned the full page article in the Sunday edition mentioned above.

Mike creeps steathily across open ground. It's amazing how professional we look when no-one's actually shooting at us!

Tough Canadian boys playing paintball in the snow on a -5C day (January 2, 2003).
 
For the first year, we are operating our field year round.  Business in the winter is slow but when groups do get motivated 
to actually come, we are able to send them away happy.  We have developed a cold weather system that gives reliable 
equipment performance down to about -10C (14F).
 
The "no shirt" photos were a lark to dramatize our website theme of "tough Canadians play winter paintball".  The shots 
were taken at the Martin Toupin Stag outing and a full coverage of the event can be seen on our website at 
www.DunesAdventure.com.
