Does anyone know of good places (in general) to get CO2 tanks refilled?

I like to practice shooting in my backyard when I can't make it to a field. But it's such a pain in the a** to run to the paintball store everytime I need a refill.

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome!

You can also try fire extinquisher places. Not that most people visit these stores often, but every town has a place that services fire extinquisher and these guys will fill up you CO2 for very cheap...like 15 cents an ounce.

Welding supply stores will fill for you. Most of them don't like doing it on the spot like a feild. They expect you to drop off your tank and pick it up in a few hours. I can get 25lbs of co2 for $13.50 or pay $6.00 for 20 oz.

also, you can buy an allday air pass for liek 16 bucks but since i use a 20 ouncer then its not really worth it unless you shoot way overkill :D :eek:

Best bet is at the field, it only cost 2$ for any size tank at the field I play. If you're like me though, you don't wanna wait til you goto the field again to fire up the old paintball gun. Most sporting goods stores should be able to fill them. I dunno if Meijer's or Wal-Mart would fill them, but they do sell paintball stuff though. I take mine to ****'s Sporting Goods, it's alittle more expensive than at the field (4$ for 12 oz.) but I don't have to pay 20$ to get into the field either.
