Season 2 of Xtreme Paintball airs today at 4:30 on Fox Sports Network (FSN). Check your local TV listings for time changes since it varies based on your location. Xtreme Paintball is one of the very first television shows ever made centering entirely around the sport. Not only that, but the show gets a bit more "personal" with the players through interviews, stories, and other experiences. It's not 100% tournament play - you get some drama along with the action
Check it out.
2008 Spyder Electra
On May 15, 2008 Kingman will be introducing their new 2008 Spyder Electra paintball gun into the market. MSRP'd at $249.99 and retailing for only $199.99, the 2008 Electra is already grabbing the attention from Ion and SLG users. The Spyder Electra is part of Kingman's Classic Series gun line. The Spyder Electra use to be such a primitive electronic paintball gun way back in 2004. Things have changed since then and now Kingman is in a constant running race, along with Smart Parts and Dye, to create an affordable and reliable electronic paintball gun. Right now the battle is between the Smart Parts Ion, Proto SLG, and the 2008 Spyder Electra. Of course there are others, but these are the main players in the market today.
If you had $250 to spend on just a gun (stock, no upgrades), which one would you most likely buy?
Here's Kingman's sales pitch:
The all new generation Spyder Electra with Eye is back with a vengeance. The new design concept features a reduced overall profile (25% weight & 15% length). The Electra with Eye comes standard equipped with the LEAP™ circuit board developed by Tadao® Technologies providing unsurpassed speed and reliability. Outfitted with Spyder's "Synergy Engineered Technology" the Electra with Eye operates on dual air sources (CO2 & Compressed Air) at 300PSI low operational pressure. This all aluminum constructed powerhouse will out perform every other marker in its class.

Posted in NPPL, News | 4 Comments »PbLive.tv is covering the PSP World Cup paintball event in Orlando, Florida. Today is the second day of the event, with 4 more days left. I wish we could have made it to this one. The PSP World Cup is the most attended paintball event of the year. Check out the prizes for each division. Seems like a lot of dough, but you'd be surprised how much money a decent team throws down to get where they're at. You can view the scores and schedules for the paintball event here.
Posted in Psp | 1 Comment »Are you planning on purchasing a Kingman Spyder anytime soon? You're in luck if you are. Kingman Spyder has just opened up a universal Mail-in Rebate program which allows its customers from any dealer (i.e. Xtremez, ActionVillage, or even local stores) to mail in their receipt, UPC code, and coupon form and receive a rebate between $10 to $20.
Of course, there are restrictions. The rebate only applies to the following Kingman Spyder paintball guns:
$10 Rebate
- Spyder VS2
- Spyder MR2
- Spyder Xtra Super Kit
- Spyder Tactical Sniper Kit
- Spyder MR1 Kit
$20 Rebate
- Spyder VS3
- Spyder MR3
The mail-in rebate program is only effective from October 1st, 2007 to January 15th, 2008 (just through Christmas).
This rebate program is a marketing attempt to sway customers like yourself to choose Kingman Spyder over their competitors (cough, Tippmann) just before Christmas (the business shopping season). Nice move Spyder - you smart. But hey, I'll take a $10 or $20 rebate if it's as easy as that.
You can read Spyder's official instructions on how to claim your rebate here.
