PAINTBALL Smackdown 2009 convention sign up.
Ok folks, if riding in the Smokies for a week just isn't quite enough for you adrenaline junkies, how about if we go to war for a bit  . I had a good conversation with John, the owner of Smokey Mt. Paintball. He is a motorcycle enthusiast as well (Goldwinger) and excited to accommodate us.
He said to figure between $30-$40 per person, depending on attendance, that includes a gun, mask and 200 rounds. The more people we have the better the discount on additional paint.
If we want to do lunch there, they have a grill and a fire pit set up that we can use or his wife can fire up some hot dogs. We can also call in Little Ceasars for $5 per. Please post your preference when you sign up.
The fields are less than an hour away from Fontana. Being a motorcycle guy he also volunteered to plan out several curvey routes to and from Fontana so we can make a good ride out of the trip to Seymour as well.
PM me to sign up. A deposit will be required to reserve the fields depending on the amount attending. Keep an eye on this thread for updates on the day and amounts as we get closer to convention time.
Danq will be letting us know what day this will take place soon, it will likely be an early morning event.

Wow...great idea, but that is expensive....200 rounds lasts me all of 15 seconds (or less). Most places have packages in which you can buy a case of 2000 rounds for around $60 (usually split it with a buddy). So I am wondering if you just missed a 0 in your post.
Can you bring your own paint, masks, guns, et... or is the whole thing furnished?
Nevermind, just looked at their website, you can bring your own stuff and play for $15 (and up).

We gotta get you locked on with something that starts with the number "4" I have had bad experiences with 9mm. But that is using stating NATO ball ammo. There is much better stuff commercially available.
Are you doing this paintball thing?

That amount for paint is just an estimate at this point. I will get him down lower
We are pretty limited on paintball locations that are close to our convention location.
