13 only reason paintball field and store owners come to the Paintball Extravaganza, they come to establish relationships with new vendors, meet with their current suppliers, to see the new products and to enjoy the camaraderie within the paintball business community. Classes got underway at 8AM on Tuesday, February 24, with the Planet Eclipse LV1 and Etek5 certification training. Just a bit later Tippmann Sports held their Dealer Training Class and Bob Long, GOG, Empire and Virtue Paintball all began their tech classes. Tuesday’s schedule was packed with training classes from other companies like Guerrilla Air (who even had a class taught in Spanish), Dye, Luxe, Dangerous Power, Ninja, Cossio Insurance and Tiberius. In addition to the lineup of tech classes there were a number of other seminars including How To Run Woodsball Tournaments, The Future of Low Impact Paintball, Business Goals and Marketing, Marketing Your Store and Field, Haunted Paintball, Food And Beverage Possibilities, Leveraging Social Media and more. Tuesday was a jam-packed day of learning that was just the beginning of that was to come. Tuesday morning also saw a rush of paintball field and store owners scurrying through the exhibitor hall in search of new products between their scheduled classes. One of the hottest products of the morning was HK Army’s TFX Loader that was being shown for the first time publicly. WWW.PAINTBALLX3.COM
