taking your balls to the game!

[Intimidator]

How do you bring your paintballs to the game? I have a hard time pouring balls in my tubes from a bag. I use empty apple juice bottles. They have lids and you can pour them fast and easy with no mess.

I just leave them in the cases or bottles that they come in. I usually buy paintballs from local stores and buy about 2 400 round bottles. Then when its time to load em, i just pour em straight into my hopper. I never spill any.

I store my opened balls in one gallon zip lock freezer bags. I've also found it's easy to pour them straight from the freezer bag into the hopper.

I recently got some Diablo that came in vacum sealed bags. PMI/RPS usually comes in bags that are closed with a tie-wrap. I always put them in a Zip Lock after opening the case.

As for loading, you might want to take a one gallon milk jug and cut it in half. The end with the spout makes a good funnel.

i usually bring the case, or i keep them in my harness/guppies.

I just keep them in the original packaging ad then when i need them pour them into the hopper/tubes. I dont spill them at all. its very simple the way my dad tought me cut a lil slit in the bag and stick a thin peice of pipe in the whole and pour it into the hopper/tubes. It works good. I haven't spilled one yet. :)

When I buy them I normally leave them in the case, for that day of play. Makes easy to scoop out use guppies. Also I keep the box closed that each refill to keep the sun off the paint. If it is very warm out I have a cooler to keep them in. No ice or anything. Once I'm done for the day I put them in ziplock bags and leave them in the basement on a shelf with all the paintball other stuff.

Whne i got to pour them from the bag to the tubes i just sit down and hold the tube between my legs(powerful feeling) and that way u can use your other 2 hands to adjust the bag around.

I set my bags on a hard flat surface for two days so they reshape it works well! And then I put them in the case before I go or fill up my tubes.
