has anyone tried these? (http://rufusdawg.com/Pages/Home-index.htm) ? You have to select "T-Balls Target Balls" from the drop down menu.
They look like they might work....you would just have to make like a PVC netting thing to catch them...unless you want to pay $150 for a "professional" target system.

I have never tried them, but I've heard of them before. I really think they're a money saver if you're gonna be like me and take out your gun everyday and target practice. They look good to me. :)

Remember that you are counting on finding them all again.
Also realize you can get 500 rounds for the same price and REAL paint. That will give you the advantage of firing a real paintball with the same trajectory, weight, distance, etc, over rubber which is probably different weight.

T-Balls are fun to play with, and if you don't like spending a ton of money on paint, just practice with these. I just use a pratice golf netting I bought at a yard sale.

I played at an indoor field that used these with pump guns, it was pretty stupid, it was all dark and you couldn't cross this one line, and you had to call your hits, too much like air soft, get normal paintballs

I'm not sure they're that great, what happens if one of them gets stuck in the gun's breach?

LOL tony did the balls glow in the dark? I saw this ghetto video about "Laserball" with paintball guns that fired glow in the dark rubber balls as low velocities. Not quite lasertag, not quite paintball. Too sucky to be either heh.

Well, I rolled up a small dollar bill sized piece of paper and it stoped my Spyder's bolt. And everyone knows that a regular piece of paper is not as strong as a dollar bill. :P

dollar bill is weaker you crazy person, also you are lying about sticking your finger in, unless you have one of those antichop bolts

Tony, you are a retard. Dollar bills have cotton in them, among other things designed to make them strong. when was the last time you accidentally ripped a dollar bill?
!Random Fact Alert! Did you know that It is illegal to have raw dollar bill material in you possesion? (dollar bill material that has not been made into dollar bills)

I can chop carrots with my bolt... I'd rather not.
As for the T-balls, I think they'd be something neat to have and could be useful to practice snap shooting in your back yard or playing nerf wars with the neighbors... wait forget I said that. :)

Nerf wars with neighbors:nod:
I think I might buy some of those for target practice. Anybody know if they would puncture dry wall? I'd like to shoot them in my basement.
Yeah man they'd probably mess up drywall pretty bad. But you could probably tac a think blanket or two against the wall or lay up a matress or something. Or if you trust yourself enough, just put up a coffee can and shoot into it.

i might have to buy some, and then report the results (....yeah....they went out of the gun) to you guys.

I bought some when they came to town for Skyball.
They shoot exceedingly well and the fact that are resuseable is just flatout king.
KING I tell you!

Well if he had real faith in his product, he could have stuck somehting else down the breach.....
Yah, I very much dout your spyder stops a roled up peice of paper let alone the mag. Maybe on your finger, but a peice of paper or a dollar bill is just to flimsy.

It didn't bounce off the paper. It just stopped after the paper had bent back. I stuck my pinky finger down the breach, and it hit it so hard my finger hurt for 15 minutes! I guess a rolled up piece of paper is stronger than my finger :)

Im an idiot? No, you are an idiot, the mag video the bolt stops when it hits the dollar bill, when you did it the paper bent...then the bolt went back, any gun can do that...
