In the photo of the Carter WidowMakers do you or any one else remember the name of the team member standing between Jim Lively and Carter. He came out with Carter, Jessica and Termite for this event. Lively nor I remember his name as it has been 20 something years ago.

Sorta funny when you say " History " makes me feel old ...A lot of stories not too sure about history? Although you know paintball was almost outlawed in the 80's...Jessica saved it in SoCal ...now that's History everyone should know

The shooters and Team America used to play with and against each other all the time mostly at SC. I played on team America so I got to play with and against them all the time.
I been around the sport along time I last played competively 12 years ago with Broken Arrow...Lol

if I remember right there was a APG article with a pic of Youngblood in his suit with that artillery piece of a marker when they were in Hawaii. Was at Kualoa Ranch if memory serves (pardon but that was a LONG time ago rofl) him running around a woodsyish field in a suit with that artillery piece was hillarious but dang he got a ton of elims.....
