2023 Events

Last year our team plans had to be put on the back burner due to injury and work commitments by multiple members of the team. This year we are planning on making up for it. We have been doing some recruiting as well too with at least one addition being Matt Swanson.

Our current plans include the TC Paintball Capital City 3-man Series along with their Capital City Classic 7-man events. We are also planning on attending Iron Mitten Series events as well. We will also be playing in the Run For Ryan charity event on June 3, 2023.
