SPECTRE Paintball is proud to announce our recent sponsor agreement with Pinokio Hoppers out of
“Pinokio Hoppers is the brain child of entrepreneur, inventor and paintball enthusiast Evan Estrate. Evan saw a void in the hopper industry when he and his son went out to play one sunny Sunday afternoon. After much trial and error, Pinokio Hoppers was born, a hopper like no other. Lighter, faster, more efficient and higher capacity than anything else available, the Pinokio Hopper holds 250 rounds with the small nose and 400 rounds with the long nose. While your opponent is still reloading, you’re still shooting! Our concept is simple: carry more, shoot more, reload less and WIN MORE! You gotta have balls to rock a Pinokio, pick one up today and experience the power!”
SPECTRE is extremely excited to extend the Pinokio brand and equip ourselves with some of the finest gear out there!

The 2009 Charity Game was a huge success, mainly due to the outstanding volunteers and help we had, along with the great turnout despite the weather and being a holiday weekend! This is the first year The Landing Zone has broken 100 registered players in a game, and we've managed to do it for our first two consecutive games, with Halo Wars coming in at 106 registered players! I believe Chad said around $1500 went to the American Cancer Society - Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Here is some news coverage of the event:
Once again thanks to everyone for the help and support. Thanks to WNEM TV 25, WWBN-FM Banana 101, Daryl Marshke (the photographer), Chad and his family, Ken and his family, and the rest of the team and volunteers that were out there to make it a great day of paintball for everyone involved!
One last note, if you're interested in seeing the photos from the event that Daryl took, head over to our Sponsors & Affiliates page and click on the link to D's Fine Arts and Photo. They are all there in a gallery and available for purchase.
