New England Paintball League NEPL Tournament Series

http://www.thenepl.com/

Please note that there is a 3 man and a  pump division. DASH will offer 1 day of free coaching for any of our customers that sign up for these young gun/beginner divisions. We have no affiliation with the NEPL so there will be no conflict of interest. We are doing this because we have experienced the fun of the NEPL 3 man division.

Please note: we will not be attending the August event as it conflicts with the  PSI Black Market War game

Benefits of Compressed Air Over CO2 for Piantball Purposes

Many customers ask us why we don’t fill CO2. The reason is that the fill stations themselves constantly freeze up, and that compressed air is better for your paintball gun. So why the whole paintball compressed air vs CO2 beef?

CO2 is stored compressed in a liquid that is super cold (very scientific, I know…). This liquid has to expand into a gas before it can properly propel your paintball. Getting liquid CO2 into your gun is devastating as it can freeze up your seals. This happens very often on horizontally mounted bottles, which are the most popular setups. Also, CO2 is not regulated coming out of the bottle. Depending on the temperature and rate of fire, there can be significant spikes and drop-offs in velocity.

Compressed air is stored compressed as a gas! the tanks actually heat up when filled. There is no chance of freezing seals, and no oil in the gas. Your seals last longer. The air is also regulated out of the tank, unlike CO2. You will get more consistent shots with fewer velocity spikes. the gas pressure will be the same in super cold and super hot weather with compressed air. It is the exact opposite for CO2 as it is very temperature sensitive. Compressed air tanks also have gauges that show you their capacity, you can always tell how much air you have left.

Compressed air tanks are more expensive (we sell 48ci 3000 psi tanks which hold about 600 shots for $55) and hold less shots per fill, however, the air tanks are only $4 to fill up while co2 is usually $6+, and they will save you tons of money on seals and shop labor, not to mention saving you the worry of on-field equipment failure.

Can’t afford an air tank? We rent them for $10, filled!!!

August Availability – Limited Hours – Due to Tournaments

Dear Customers,

Due to the Paintball Expo and Ultimate Woodsball League Pennsylvania Tournament held on August 4th through 7th and the Paintball Sports Promotion New England Tournamant (NJ) held on August 11th through the 14th, we have limited hours and marker airsmithing availability during those weeks. You should plan ahead on marker teching and equipment. Exact limits on hours and available services will be posted closer to the events. If you have any questions please contact us. Also, if you would like to spectate at any of these events, namely PSP, let us know, we can provide details (PSP will also be broadcast for free via live webcast).

Tippmann SL-68 II Pump Marker Review

For the SL-68 there really isn’t much to the gun. A two piece bolt with a
spring in between. This is held in place when cocked by a latch like mechanism
that also works as the firing mechanism. The grip is attached by a bar to the
front part of the bolt. To chrono the gun you look in through the hole on the
side and on the bolt there is an adjustable hex screw that changes the velocity.
This can only be adjusted so far before the screw will be raised up too high for
the bolt to move freely.

V-Tac Sierra Pants Review

The V-Tac Sierra pants have been awesome for the games that I have used them.
Rugged and very durable, I took these pants through all sorts of pricker bushes
and unlike the pants I got from Angel these didn’t let anything through. Even
though I have only used these for one game I am very confident that they will
last me quite some time. My favorite part about these pants is the amount of
pocket space. Both cargo pockets have a slot for a squeegee which is nice for
left or right handed preference. Overall these are great pants and I
would recommend them to anyone looking for a good pair of scenario pants. The
only downside I could think of is that the pants could get really hot during
summer weather because of the lack of vented areas.
