Tippinators Promote Paintball at Atlantic Outdoor Sports & RV Show

The Tippinators attended the 23rd Atlantic Outdoor Sports & RV Show held from March 16 to 19, 2006 at Exhibition Park in Halifax Nova Scotia and helped man the booth operated by Overkill Sportz. The show was a huge success with the team meeting and talking to thousands of paintballers and fans.

Scott 'Hired Gun' Knowles, Austin 'Juno' Flaherty and Bruce 'Charon' Johnston met and talked with current, past and future paintball players of all ages over two days. The team gave out hundreds of team stickers, promotional photographs and autographs to the many visitors to the booth while answering questions about the sport. The team posed for pictures with wide eyed kids who were holding their mil sim Tippmann A-5 markers that were sometimes taller then the kids holding them.

One of the main objectives for the team was to answer questions posed by the curious who have considered but never played paintball and to clear up popular misconceptions of concerned parents of children who are eager to play.

Carter Johnson and Glen Hunter Co-owners of Overkill Sportz in Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia put together a first class display at the show and the Tippinators are proud to have been involved and to have the chance to bring the sport of paintball to the general public.

Event organizers and the public were impressed with Overkill Sportz and the Tippinators positive presentation of paintball and everyone involved believes that positive exposure generated by attending the 23rd Atlantic Outdoor Sports & RV Show will help the paintball community in Nova Scotia grow and become even stronger.
