This is my good friend Luke. I got him hooked on paintball this year. He is the heavy gunner and I am the rifleman. Basically he lays the paint down thick while I move around to flank the opponent. We plan on starting a pure woodsball team soon.  

My Mom and I drove to Missouri to visit my Aunt and Uncle. They took us to a shooting range where I got to zero my new scope. That is me shooting my .22 magnum. 

Late Spring 2006, my Boy Scout Troop went to the Rockford Gun Club to see the "Cowboy Shoot". A bunch of people dress up as cowboys and shoot as fast and acurate as they can. Afterwards some of the "cowboys" let us shoot their guns. We got to shoot revolvers, lever action rifles, and shotguns. It was really fun. That is me shooting a Winchester lever action .45 caliber rifle. 

This is Abby, our dog. As you can see she is very lazy. Her hobbies are eating, sleeping, chasing squirrels (and everything else in our yard), and digging holes. 

This is my group of friends at my 16th birthday party. From left to right CODY, LUKE, ME, PAYTON, CHRIS, NOAH, BRYAN, BRIAN(my dad), and MIKE. 

This is me on my 16th birthday, I had a bunch (10) of my friends come to my house and play paintball nonstop for 4 hours. I gets exhausting after two hours but the adrenaline surges through your body like a tidal wave. The longer you play the smarter you play. 

I am a paintballer. I have played paintball for 5 years. I excel in the forest, but make no mistake I will play wherever there is a field. I play in the sun, the rain, the hot, the cold, nothing is too exteme for me. Some say I am obsessed others say I am passionate, I'll let you draw your own conclusions. My name is Ben Swanton and I am a woodsballer.
