Camo Remote
Is this a good purchase for a new paintball player!?
Hello everyone.I'm new to paintball and I'm set on getting the Alpha Black Tactical.So far this
is what I'm thinking of buying:
CMI Heavy Duty On/Off Coil Paintball Remote Kit - Black
Tippmann US Army Alpha Black Tactical Paintball Gun - Black
Tippmann 98 Custom Cyclone Feed System
Gen X Global Tactical Vest Paintball Harness - Camo
PMI Pure Energy Aluminum 48/3000 Tank - High Pressure Output
Gen X Global 100 Round Paintball Pod - Camo(3 of these)
V-Force Vantage Pro Paintball Goggles - Black
The total comes out to about $350. I'm wondering if there's anything else I should buy or if I'm missing anything.Also
if you have any suggestions on any of the items above and If there's better options I'd like to know.Thanks
in advance for the replies!
CMI remote coil- Good choice, this will work good and hold up while your playing. It will last you a while.
Tippmann Alpha Tactical- Tippmann makes some of the most reliable and durable markers on the marker, they has a fool prouf design and are easy to maintain. The army series markers are just tippmann 98 customs with a different body and visual mods. Really the only thing you are paying for is the visual mods, the army series are no better then a tippmann 98 custom because they are the same thing, use the same internals and same mods. They are good markers only down side is the dam plastics on it is cheap and break easy.
98 cyclone feed- Great idea for a none battery powered loader but it sucks. The cyclone feed uses up a lot of air or co2 and does not feed all that fast. It is not reliable and tends to chop paint. You have to buy the techt upgrade kit for it to make the cyclone feed even worth while and that is another $60. Don't waist your money on a cyclone feed it is better to just buy a good quality electronic loader like an invert too or halo b.
Cen X Vest- Good light vest. Great quality and work good, also they dont cost a lot and they are durable. Nice and light and good for keeping you cool even though you have a vest on, also allows you to carry extra paint and your co2 or hpa tank on your vest instead of your marker.
PMI HPA tank- Good hpa tank and work good. The regulators on them are ok they could be better but for the price it doesn't matter. I would however recommend the Ninja paintball tank over the pmi just because ninja has a better regulator on the tank that is fully rebuildable and easy to rebuild. Also they test every one of their tanks and make sure they are set at 800psi output, no lower or higher, perfect for tippmann markers.
Gen X Pods- hey are fine it doesn't really matter much what you use. I find that the shocktech pods do good and don't break paint even if you fall on them or while you are running around.
Vforce Vantage Pro- Don't buy this mask, it is crap! this is one of the worst masks you can buy. If you are looking for a cheap good quality mask go with the Vforce Provantage, they are a lot better built and have a great anti fog lens. Good air flow in them and soft foad that is very comfertable to wear. Great mask and only $50
Overall you have a good setup there. You don't need all of it but $350 is a good price for all of that. You should look at not getting the cyclone feed system and not get the vantage pro mask. Instead buy a good quality electronic loader like the invert too and a good mask like the vforce provantage.
Watch these vids they will help five you good info.

The Challenge Of Crow Hunting, Equipment, Optics And Techniques
For many of us crow hunting can be as challenging and rewarding as any type of hunting that exists. To constantly fool one of the smartest birds known to man, is harder than it may seem, BUT with this information and techniques you can have a sought after edge. The crow is one of the most intelligent and well sighted birds that exist. Obviously the first thing that you must do in order to hunt this magnificent bird is to locate them. I have found In almost 40 years of crow hunting experience that a quality pair of binoculars to help locate distant crows are a must. For the money, my favorite optics are the Leupold Cascade, camo 8x42mm, which sell for around $300.00 or the Leupold Wind River Mesa, camo 10x50mm which sell for around $220.00. Another pair that I have used for many years is the Nikon Dream Season camo 8x36mm which sell for around $280.00.
All of these work very well for studying their local habits in a given region. By viewing and studying their flight patterns you can best determine an optimal site for your decoy setup. Once this is determined you can use these "flyways" as great ambush sites, as crows relate to given flyways. During early spring when crows are nesting, and living in pairs (not groups) no real flyways exist. As summer approaches and the young leave the nest, the crows start forming groups because there is safety in large numbers. Now is when they can be patterned. As winter approaches larger flocks are formed. At night crows will group together for safety in treetops against their enemies such as the great horned owl. These concentrated areas are referred to as the "roost". Hunting a roost in fall and winter is the best.
Some people know, some don't, that crows are mortal enemies with birds of prey, such as hawks, owls, eagles etc. For this reason a good setup of decoys including an owl or hawk decoy mixed with crow decoys is preferred to fool this bird. I have found that the plastic full sized crow decoys work the best. This type of setup works very well with modern electronic calling devices with remote speakers as well as mouth calls for us more experienced crowers. My favorite calling tapes are Johnny Stewart's "Crow Fighting An Owl", "Fighting Crows", "The Crow Reveille", and finally the "Death Cry of A Crow".
After being inactive all night, crows are hungry and more aggressive in the morning, than later in the day.They are ready to eat and FIGHT. Most often, at first light, they can be lured in closer to a setup, putting them in deadly shotgun range. As the day wears on they can become more cautious and weary meaning they will come to the setup but many times they will stay high in the air and not be fooled into gun range. With mornings always being a great hunt, the crow can also be hunted during all daylight hours. Locate a flock with a good pair of binoculars, then make your move. Concealment is mandatory. From an aerial view the crow will always have the advantage. Full camo, including face mask, hat, gloves and gun camo is best.(Waving a shiny gun barrel around will most often send them on their way with no shots fired.) Once shots are fired, that location and setup are done, move on. Crows are too smart to be fooled again at that location. For diehards like me, relocate to a new area by glassing and finding more birds, make your setup, then get ready for more action.
Preferred setup sites are those that offer thick cover for human concealment without the obstruction of too many over head trees and limbs. I have hunted a roost in my state that numbers over 100,000 crows. Through my homework I know exactly where they roost. With definite known flyways I know exactly where to setup, about 1/2 mile plus away from the roost. My choice for this scenario is the thick undercover where I can normally put a large tree between me and the incoming birds, because they cannot see me til its too late and it hides my movement. A good morning hunt for me in this area means about a 100 crows won't be coming home tonight. Sometimes semi open fields can be great setup sites if they are on a flyway.
I prefer the small popup camo, loose netted hunting blinds. There are times on very, very windy days, crows fly naturally low to the ground, (in gun range) coming to and from the roost. On these occasions no decoys are needed, one should immediately find concealment under these paths and good luck trying to keep you gun full of shells. As one wave comes and goes the next is sure to be right behind. I have had over 1 1/2 hour non stop shoots during these times. This is the exception when you do not have to get up and relocate because they will use their flyway no matter what and the crows that haven't gotten there yet have not heard the previous shots.
For me, my Remmington Model 1100, in semi automatic, is an excellent firearm choice. When the action is hot a simple pull of the trigger beats pump action in my opinion. Of course I know that pumps are the choice of some hunters, and you should use what ever you are most comfortable with. Crows are not the easiest birds to knock out of the sky. 12 gauge has the power for me. Shot number 4 is my preferred BB size as it has the power to break bone at further distances giving me a 40-50+ yard advantage. Full choke works best to keep the pattern tight. A crow coming towards you is easier to down than the ones that are trying to fly away, but, the 4 shot will give you more distance as they try to escape.
The crow can be found globally and there are very high numbers of them in the US. If you have not yet experienced the thrill of a crow hunt yet do yourself a favor as it doesn't require a large investment and it is such a thrilling adventure! If at first you don't succeed, you have probably been spotted by these wise birds, learn from the experience and try again. With a good setup and proper concealment you should be very successful. Always remember to check the laws, regulations, and designated seasons of your state and most of all, HAVE FUN!!! Please include the younger generation with you on your crow hunts to keep this tradition alive.

I’ve been contributing to my two nieces’ and nephew’s outlooks on life for several years. (My wife and I don’t have children. We ate our young at an early age) They are 8, 6 and 5 years of age, the nieces and nephew that is. I carefully explained to their parents that I meant nothing but the best. I have a Ed. degree and I understand, to a certain extent, the development of a child. I told them that my goal was to peak their curiosity and try to stimulate their imagination. They are now looking forward to see what I come up with. We get together about every month. I have now become their favorite Uncle by finding interesting things at garage sales and dollar stores. My monthly surprises are something they look forward to and it gives them something to do when “the adults” are talking. Works for everybody. Butterfly nets Water balloons A deck of playing cards and a clamp for their bicycles. Kites A box of Mardi Gras necklaces Flutephones Kazoos Walkie Talkies Giant picture books of their favorite subjects — Horses, Dogs, and Big Earth Moving Equipment, respectively. Hats Anything sparkley or anything camo. Remote controlled cars and boats. Race Tracks and cars. The entire series of books on their particular interest at their reading level. (Horses, Dogs, and Earth Moving Equipment.) Head phone radios. An old Stethoscope. Art Set with crayons, colored pencils, and magic markers. Water Guns. Big Soap Bubbles. (Google this.) DVDs of their favorite movies on their favorite subjects. (See Above.) Flashlights and assorted “Safe” sparkley “Fireworks”. Costumes for dress-up or Halloween. Jewelry and “Big Nose and Glasses”. And that’s just off the top of my head. Oh, Just remembered — Rockin’ Sockin’ Robots. Available at Toys R Us. With a case of Reese Cups, my sister-in-law told me that the two girls and their Dad had one of the best weekends in a long time. Just hearing that made my day. If your imagination is active, you can stimulate hers. Oh, yeah, a fancy glass for Vanilla Bean flavored Homemade brand Ice Cream and A & W Root Beer. The best Root Beer Float in the world. Oh, and exploring a small creek and looking out for those bugs that walk on the water on their long wired legs. And tadpoles and frogs. Don’t forget the jars with the holes in the lid. Oh, and Stars away from the big city and, if you get a chance, the Aurora Boresalis. (sp?) Christmas decorations in all your surrounding neighborhoods on Christmas Eve. This will be so fun for both you, your wife and especially your little girl. And it will the type of bonding experiences that she will remember the rest of her life. Oh, yeah, take her to garage sales to find that one treasure that she can pick out for a dollar. She can even negotiate her price. (wink) This time will speed by faster than you can imagine. Don’t waste it on formal courses and instruction. Curiosity and Imagination is natural. Don’t let it be squashed by the rest of the world trying to get her to conform. This will be the best time in her life, as well as her own. You are a lucky man. Have Fun and Have Patience.
