Asking bob questions about the past, making the poor guy feel
old...
Feb. 28th 2008
How long have you been in the paintball
industry?
Bob: Since
1988! two full decades!
Did you play paintball before HNPB opened?
Bob: of
course
Really what's your most thrilling /
Memorable experience while playing?
Bob: Easily
the worlds largest paintball game in 1992: it was down in Jim
Thorpe Pennsylvania. I Took 1st place in the Big Game
Sharpshooter, I won the National Paintball Jacket - its still
hanging here in the pro-shop though its has a bit of dust on it.
Do you recall the first day you opened,
what was it like for you personally?
Bob: Yep, It
was great, the club finally had a local place to play and we
didn't have to drive so far for supplies
What made you want to run the field?
Bob: I was
retired from the police department, and it gave me a chance to
meet interesting people; and help educate players and parents
about the sport of paintball.
Did HNPB always have a pro-shop like the
one you have now?
Bob: No it
was started out of my basement.
How was the field Setup Back Then?
Bob: hmm
wooden spools, pallets, and only about 600 old junk cars.
How has the Facility changed over the
years?
Bob: We've
Tried to stay on the cutting edge with both equipment and
fields; feeding the sport exactly what it wants.
Where do you see HNPB going in the future?
Bob: Well its
been turning full circle, we've seen it moving more towards the
roots of paintball as in woods-ball etc. but still on the
cutting edge, Especially with the CQC Indoor; but don't worry we
have not forgotten about our speed-ballers.
What advice do you have for those new to
the sport - or those interested in playing?
Bob: I always
say never forget why you wanted to PLAY paintball, keep it fun
and interesting and always remember its only a game, so enjoy
the sport while you can; oh and bring a friend so you can go
home and remember the experience.
When people go to HNPB, will they see you
personally at the nest?
Bob: 99% of the time I will be there to
greet people and welcome old friends. Since the clubs inception
it has never been a job, but a way to meet good people and try
to change the bad ones. Good, bad or indifferent it has been a
hell of a run that I'm personally proud of, and I've gained some
awesome friends along the way.
