R.I.P. Sire Paintball. Sire was a local Little Rock couple of guys that, among other things, designed and distributed paintball related clothing. They had a good run and put out some great stuff. It's sad to see them go.

I've never had much luck selling paintball clothing in the Pro-Shop. Seems like no matter what color or style or size I stocked I never had the right item. Product would sit on the shelf or hang from the hangers till the color faded and I'd end up selling at a loss.

I tip my hat to anyone that can hang in there as long as Sire did and make a go of it.

Interior or exterior?

RING! RING!

Good afternoon. T-Square Paintball.

Hey. Do you guys rent scaffolds?

Ummm. No. I think you might have the wrong number.

No scaffolds? That's odd. Do you know anyone that might?

No, Sir. Sorry.

CLICK! (Well, that's what phones use to sound like when they were hung up.)

Paint > Painters > Paintball...

If your opponent is behind a tree would you yell at the tree and tell it to move?

Probably not.

So why do you yell at my refs and tell them to "get the hell out of the way"!

Yeah. Yeah. I know. My refs are not trees. They are capable of moving. And, yeah. Sure. It's probably the polite thing to do before you let loose a barrage of paint past their head.

But consider the fact that the ref is working. He has a job to do. He may be standing in the "best" worst place possible in order to watch as many players as he can. Most of my refs don't TRY to be in your way. Sometimes it just happens.

Adjust. Adapt. Be flexible. MOVE!

You are one of the game's chess pieces.

Not the ref!
