OKC Work Days
Last week we gave the Mountain some long overdue love. Over the years, OKC Members go out and have whole days dedicated to improving our field. I’m sure you’re wondering what this is after watching the video, but I assure you: a lot of stuff gets done.
Our first order of business was getting rid of [...]

Thoughts on Outlaws and Lawdawgs
For many, the best event this year came and went last Sunday. We were welcomed by perfect weather and even better gameplay as the Outlaws struck back with a win over reigning champs the Lawdawgs. Both teams did a great job, trading fire and taking forward positions, the games were intense yet at a slower [...]
Pump Talkin
Article by Matt AKA “Kenny”
Today, and leading up to the OKC Outlaws & Lawdawgs pump and pistol game, I will be posting a series of conversations with my fellow pumpers.
The pumpers have found a home here at OK Company, and the ranks have been growing. With more people seeing what we can do with one [...]
Desert Warriors
In this blog segment, we explore some of the gear preferences and unique playing style of our good friends at High Desert Scenario. Only a matter of 2.5 hours away, their environment is polar opposite compared to the drippy, wet Willamette Valley. Large rocks and small trees dot an arid landscape known for its temperature [...]

Keepin it frosty: Play smart, play comfortable
With spring and summer upon us it’s time we discuss keeping cool and comfortable on the field.
1. Breathability: Heavy cotton and multiple layers may blunt those hits but these same fabrics trap in heat. Your body wastes 90% of its energy just regulating your body temperature. Help it out by wearing breathable fabrics and synthetic [...]
On field temper tantrums
This is a short, simple and petty rant about one of my biggest paintball pet peeves. Getting pissed and having an intelligent discussion about it is one thing. Foot stomping tantrums are totally different, and something that happens all too often, much to my chagrin.
It’s almost always about them getting overshot, how the other team [...]
Economies of Paint
Anyone who has taken a brief glimpse into an Economics text book should remember the name Adam Smith. For those that can’t remember, Adam Smith is perhaps one of the most influential economists of all time. Adam Smith coined ‘The Invisible Hand’, a term for the self-regulating nature of the marketplace. Essentially it means that [...]
Even Fat Guys Can Play Paintball
By: Aaron a.k.a Captain A
I’ve always been a big guy. “Big boned” my mamma would say or “husky” as my grandma put it. Truth be told, it was always one of the things that kept me away from sports. I couldn’t run as fast or play as long as others and when it came to [...]
