So Todd's dog problem and subsequent thread got me thinking of paintball again. As some of you know, I have a pretty large chunk of land and I've often thought about setting up my own paintball field. As such, I'd like to also get a good many guns to use as loaners.

That said, I've noticed a trend toward moving from CO2 to Nitrogen (aka High Pressure Air or HPA, I believe) based guns. Since I generally have large supplies of Nitrogen on hand because of the race car thing, I figure going with that makes the most sense. Problem is I've been unable to find a great deal of info on what I need to get as far as refilling rigs and even what's best to get on the gun side of the world. Anyone know anything or know of a really good place to look for info?

I used to play a TON back in MI and would love to start playing again!! I still have most of the gear. Anytime you're up for it shoot me an email or PM :D The HPA guns I've used in the past were just hooked up to a tank with a regulator and a simple schrader valve to fill them. Was quick and easy.

best info site out there

donnie, my suggestion would be to go get friendly with one of the local shops and ask them. they can also get you MUCH better deals than you would as an individual. crap, with your land they may even come host an event or two with you.
