Scott Hayes "GtrLvr" It means guitar lover. People always get confused as to what that means, I like it that way. I started playing paintball about two and a half years ago. I was recently divorced and had a lot of time (and money) suddenly on my hands. I don't remember what put the thought in my mind but I posted on craigslist looking for people to play with. I got a response from a group of guys who played outlaw in the woods near me. My first game was in the snow, it was 20* out and I got shot within 2 minutes. I was hooked right away. I bought my first gun that week, an old used Tippmann 98. I played with those guys every week until the spring when I went to my first scenario game at a legit field. I never went back. Playing at a legitimate field with experienced players was so much more fun.
Since then I've played probably 50 scenario games along with a bunch of open play. I played Living Legends 3 in Chicago, a few EMR games including a couple castles and countless other games all over the northeast. I dropped the milsim style quickly for a pump, influenced by this crazy team of pump players I played with who call themselves The Rubber Duckies. I must have impressed them with my skills and my attitude because they made me one of them. I love being part of this team, we're like a family off the field (a family that gets drunk together) and on the field we always have each other's backs.
I play pump and mechanical only. I own 7 guns and none take a battery. I frequently lend out my guns to whoever needs one, or to anyone who wants to try out a pump. I feel that paintball is more of a game than a sport, it's here for us to have fun. If you aren't having fun then you are doing it wrong.
