LAPCO had a ton of accessories, barrels and parts for all types of markers. That’ s what they do and they do it really well. Ray and the crew from Ninja were showing their excellent line of high pressure air systems, valves, fill stations and more. Enola Gaye showed us their new black smoke grenades that are available in all four of their product lines. They will be adding pink smoke soon as well. G & G Armament showed us their new vented tactical gloves as well as the many new airsoft accessories they have available. And Gelcaps’ newest happenings are that they are rebranding their product line.
As things in and around the exhibition hall slowed down Brenda and I headed out for the evening to process all that we had seen and heard. We had private meetings with several advertisers and paintball friends so we took some time over dinner to recap all of that and prepare for the next day. Meanwhile Aaron and Jeff hung around and like everyone else in the very large bar / lobby area, were treated to some excellent food courtesy of the hotel and the Paintball Extravaganza. One of the nice things about the Extravaganza is around 6 PM when classes and the exhibitor hall closes the nightlife begins. The paintball field and store owners mingle with industry reps and exhibitors in a relaxed, away from the game setting. It’ s a great way to wind down a very long and intense day.
On Wednesday morning things got going bright and early with a 9 AM roundtable discussion. The session was moderated, fast-moving and very informative. This was new this year and I’ d be surprised if this is not a regular part of the schedule going forward. www. paintball. media
