The First Two Hits

Panda took on two bounties at his first event . The first of them was rather innocuous , but it perfectly typified Panda ’ s vision .
The Cowboy Bounty : Zeus Curbelo of a Misguided Delusions was a general at The Winter Brawl , and he is also a huge Dallas Cowboys fan . Panda was retained to get footage of him wearing a Philly Eagles hat and jersey while on stage at the event . $ 150 was raised .
The second of the two hits was more spontaneous , and slightly less-mundane .
The Boyfriend Bounty : A father was in attendance at the game with his daughter and her boyfriend . He called in a bounty for the boyfriend , requesting a double-tap to the keester .
“ He said , ‘ I want one shot in each butt cheek so when he sits down he remembers me ,’” Panda said .
The Pandalorians accepted the job , and the dad ran from tent to tent before gamestart to raise the money for it . He brought back $ 162 to get it done .

Where the Ship Lands Next

The next game up for the Pandalorians will be Bones and Ashes at Black Ops Paintball on March 3-5 , and they are taking requests for bounties now .
Asked if the Pandalorians will partner with other youth teams , Panda said , “ I honestly didn ’ t even think of that , but that would be amazing if we had enough bounties and enough money that I could spread the love around to other youth organizations .”
He said he is excited by the idea of partnering with other youth teams headed to Cup and generating donations for them .
“ Right now it ’ s just with the Marauders because I am so close to them ,” Panda said . “ But I would be so open to other organizations to get the name out there .”
