Info for Fall castle needed

RealtorTommy · 04-29-2008, 09:27 PM

Ok..I've been to EMR's website...looked things over.......besides beer....What can you recommend to bring, buy, stay or whatever.....

How much paint did you shoot....not counting those who shot their own team in the back....

Are bunk houses avaible?

Just some plain help for someone who hasn't been to Fall Castle....

Paint... Plan on a case. If you're a hog, a case 1/2

Looks like the CC's will be attacking this Fall, so a case should suffice. Bunkhouses ARE available. We'll work on getting an overflow bunkhouse for the Commando's this fall. When you register, just specify Carter's Commando, and that you need a bunkhouse. Simple as that.

You can also stay at some of the local hotels/motels. Holiday Inn is popular too.

Bring GUNS... meaning, the gun you plan on using.. a backup gun, and even then an old faithful pump gun.

More when I think of it...

I know costs depends on the player...how far home is from EMR(drive/fly)....

Would acouple members post what their costs was.....just to get a figure.......

Ticket 175
Paint 75-125
BunkHouse 20ish for power/portocrapper
Beer 20-50
Gas Philly-EMR 50/#people
Food 50ish

I spent about 350 this time and still have a paint chip left over from last Fall

EMR is closest to Scranton and Binghamton if I recall. However, flying in to those little airports is usually triple that of Philly/Newark/NYC.

Driving from Florida is pretty much the most expensive thing I can imagine unless we can get 10+ people in one vehicle. But then we lose 35-40 hours on the road.

EDIT: forgot food

Ticket from Idaho - $300
Rental Car $100/# of people
1/2 case of paint - $40 (used the Superstocker)
Food - depends, $100 for me for the weekend
Hotel - $60 after splitting it

Carter isn't kidding when he talks about bringing multiple markers. I broke the feed off of my Superstocker and MJLynnJr's SS started leaking Sunday morning and he has only had that thing for 5 days of play. Even G. Palmer said the seal that was leaking usually is good for 10+ years and has never seen that particular seal go bad. Go figure, stupid curse

I spend about $200-250 a paintball weekend driving up to EMR and buying some paint, sometimes less if I have some paint.
I manged to only use 1 case with a nasty, although I admit to not being that aggressive a defender this time around, I was sort of pokey.

RealtorTommy · 05-02-2008, 12:43 PM

Here are some things I always bring (not including things mentioned above):

PAPER TOWELS
JUGS OF WATER
(both cheap, but invaluable for keeping equipment clean)

ZIPLOCk bags (for assorted paintball parts that you know you will loose otherwise)
Garbage bags (seperating dirty paintball clothes, from clean)

Extra set of shoes. (So stepping in that mud puddle doesnt ruin your day).
