Shreveport is now freezing, well, its ok weather compared to other states. I SEE B2 stealth bombers fly over our house. I usually dont go to off limits anymore, unless its a tourny or big game. Hey magic, are there any other places i can BUY gear other than off limits?

Just suck it up and play j/k. Wear t-shirts and stuff. I know how hot it gets down there. I was in New Orleans in late July for the National Youth Gathering and it was like 98-105 everyday. It sucked especially since I am from the land of the 6 month winter.

wow, you dont have many fields there? I live in salem, OR, population 120,000, and there is an indoor field and an outdoor field...I can drive for 15 minutes and get to a huge paintball place...or I can drive up to portland where there are tons of shops and fileds.....

Geeez, maybe I should complain it is hot too. Yes it gets hot. Try playing in southern Florida. Our field is open year round and is busy. Drinks lots of water/gatorade/allsport between games. Find shade to cool down between games. I usually forget how hot it is because my mind is on paintball. I never seen anyone wear shorts. Moslty camo BDU's or cargo pants and t-shirts or Jerseys. Some first timers might show up dressed heavy thinking it hurts more than it really does when marked.

I can say I never had a problem with my CO2/marker getting cold.

I do miss the cooler/cold temps from when I lived in NY.

the thing is.... down here the humidity is what gets you, the heat isn't so bad but its so humid which makes it feel alot hotter than it really is. i wish my field is open, maybe i'll call them today
