Yes the 2nd Annual Tumors Suck Benefit Event is on in August again this year.

Well I got to play Saturday in my first big game using my Airow gun for the first time. What an experience! I know I met some of you guys so thanks for taking the time to talk to me.

The Airow gun and my clothing got a lot of attention. Through out the day I was called - Chewbacca 3 times, Robin Hood 2 times, asked if I was Afghani, was told I look like a women, called a hippy and hey guy with the bow. Ah good good time.

Much to my dismay when I got to finally chrono the bow, I was shooting at 170 fps
After some tweaking I got it up to 200-215 fps which is ok, but it was killer on the arms to pull the upped poundage all day. I'm gonna have to send the Airow gun into Bowtech so they can upgrade it for me to the newer model. Which should knock it into a normal FPS range. It was a blast to use though against all those Tippmann guns. In all honesty I don't think I hit a single soul all day. I think I may have gotten someone, but there were so many people on my team using faster guns, Ill just assume they got him, but I could care less. I've never been a good shot and just have fun going out and playing.

I was pretty much fighting around Castle Roc and the meat grinder all day with a few stints into Sin city and Archie Bunker. Got shot at by two tanks within seconds of each other (a lot more terrifying in person then I expected).

All in all it was a great time and I look forward to the next time I can get out to the field and out to a big game.

OK so if there were to be some sort of winter big game .....what would you guys like it to be like , what style of game. how many players? how much ? etc.etc.etc.

Im just curious

I would do this all again even if it was freezeing outside. Great cause and alot of fun.

can you pay a little extra to play on booth teams ??? how does that work?

It was a great time and people left with a little knowledge and a some great prizes. Thanks to everyone who attended. Thanks also to Andy and Angel who put the event on with Masskickers and all the sponsors. The sponsors........Holy prizes and food what an event. Attendance was lower than expected, but anyone who came had a great time.

Thanks also to my teammates for helping with the event and helping with anything they could. FUUUUBBBAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mechanic, you did a great job helping the kids and that gauntlet got a little out of hand didn't it? Those slides through the X got me soaked from head to toe, but to watch those kids that might not have shot anyone all day shoot us was great to see. You, Mike and all of us who ran made those kids day running back and forth getting shot.

Clown guy whoever you are thanks also for all the toys your daughters handed out it lightened the mood it the cozy tent we all crammed into for lunch.

I was so impressed all day by the generosity of the crowd we did have. I watched the lunchtime raffle and I couldn't believe the prizes, but most impressive was the redistribution of them. If an adult won a prize most times I watched as they either redonated it or handed it to a kid. It was contagious. Great job Scott on giving that kid a hopper who won the gun. It was a gravity feed, but you would have thought you handed him a Halo or something by the smile and thank you his father and him gave.

Lastly, but not least thanks to Dave, Ed and Hell Surviviors they were a great host and the refs who suffered through the rain were great also. Thanks to anyone I forgot who I'm sure helped or did something generous.

I can't wait to do this event again next year.

I just got my hearing back last night/this morning, it was bad. Knocked me right down when I got shot. The worst part was, I was walking off dead, and when Mike helped me up, they kept shooting at us. I don't think I'm going to wear my Flex's any more, leaves my ears open for shots like that. At least my Events cover up a little more of the ear.

This is a family event. There will be activities held for all ages including those unable to use paintball guns (minimum paintball age is 10). Bounce house present for kids. Other activities planned for those not playing paintball.
