I get e-mails...

"Dear Sir/Ma'am - Do you rent paintball equipment to be used at a different location?"

Usually the e-mail will go on to explain how they have a "BIG" back yard or permission to use "Uncle Charlie's" farm. Some are even considerate enough to offer a deposit.

And usually I just say no, explaining the liability problems and that's the end of it - no grumpy, no mean!

But this e-mail caught me at the worst time (funny how timing can make such a difference in a situation).

I just came out of the woods, sweating my butt off, exhausted, thirsty, hungry after working on new bunkers and adding other improvements to the fields. And this guy wants to rent my equipment, shoot crappy Walmart paint through it, and play in his BIG back yard.

Hmmmm...He's going to spend money on gas to get here and back, I'm going to charge him rental, charge him for CO2 that he would usually get free, gas here and back to return the equipment, keep half his deposit for returning the guns trashed....!
