2007
2007 was a biggest growth year. We took on a few sponsors which
was new to us. Karnage Paintballs, Napa of Stewartville, Back80
Paintball, and Magnum Graphics. We organized a Charity event at
Ironwood Springs Christian Ranch and found that a very interesting
experience.We did get a little publicity from KAAL News. They came
out and did footage and had a segment on the 6 pm news

My Paintball History:
2004
It all started in the Summer of 2004 when my wife's coworker invited us
over for supper. At the table her son asked me I had ever played
Paintball. I said ,No but it sounds interesting. He invited me to play the
next day with his friends in Spring Valley, (Team Lilac). I had a great
time. I guess I was addicted and still am.
2005
I started playing with a group of guys from Stewartville,Mn called Team
Sandman. also in 2005 a organization started called MN Rat(Minnesota
Area Regional Teams), I was nominated South East Rep. and through
there forum I met allot of people. In late 2005 Jamie,Tokyo, and I sat
down during a break at Sandman's field and discussed My idea of
starting my own team. I was going to do it..
2006.
After attending the big Paintball Expo in St. Paul that year I knew I had to move up a level. I officially started Woodland Security. We had maybe 8
members Krutsie(me),Chris Harris(iceman), Joe oltchen(Tokyo), Jamie Reidaman(Jamie), Frank Fulsum(Ish), Ben Jech(Jechpot)and a few more I can't
remember .We attended SplatTag's costumer appreciation day late that season and I found that environment was what I was looking for.
.2008
2008 was a good year. We attended "Hunt for the Cure 2008",
"Giant Big Game 2008", "Battle of Serenity Valley 2008" and a
S.P.P.L Affiliate tourney " all hosted by SplatTag inc. in Hudson ,Wi.
After getting our butts handed to us at the S.P.P.L tournament a few
of us felt things should change in 2009. We dropped Napa as a
sponsor in 2008. We picked up Firefox Technologies as a new
sponsor for 2009.
2009
2009 was a good year, We attended the FrostBuster 2009"in
Mountain Lake,"Hunt for the Cure 2009",Giant Big Game 2009"at
SplatTag and attended the First Annual"Challenge for Children
Benefit" at Mn Pro Paintball .We had a great year as a team and
accomplished allot. Late in the season I decided to bow down as
field Captain and Assume Commander stasis. Things aren't
changing. I am the squad contact. I organize
schedule,website,Recruiting, and everything else I've done in the
past. I brought in a new Field Captain this year(Colby Alberts) . He
wants to train hard with a few key players and attend allot of games.
In result ,giving Woodland Security more exposure and better
experience.We dropped back80 as a field sponsor and brought on
xphere Paintball as our new field sponsor for 2010
2010
I'm looking forward to another great year
My Marker history
My First Marker(2004)
Viewloader Prodegy e-grip
My Second Marker(2005)
Armotech WG-65(I still own it)
My Third Marker(2006)
Tippmann 98c Sniper Rifle
I bought my first Marker
from the kid who introduced
me to Paintball. My
viewloader Prodegy served
me well my first year.
I bought This Marker on
e-bay Because I loved the
look of the M-16. It has been
a great Marker for me.I have
configured it differently in the
years but still own it.
(Pictured Left)
Tippmann 98c sniper rifle. I fell in love. It has a
sweet responce trigger and has the cyclone
system. I ended up using the M16 handrail and
bipod off my Armotech wg-65 and made a
mock silencer under my Older J&J Ceramic
Barrel .(pictured right)
After a while I put my Armotech clip kit on it and
bought a tri-rail to mount a scope.
After buying the clip kit I bought a new
scope.I was set for a while but needed
to fix the open trigger. (Pictured Right)
My Final Creation
Tippmann 98c M82A1
I ended up going back to the Car stock later in season 2009
My fourth Marker (2009)
I found an old Tippmann 98 in a flooded
basement at a HUD Foreclosure clean out.
It was totally rusted and un functional. I
gave it to the squad marker tech and he
had it up and running in less that one day.
I put my G36 kit on it and let my wife use it.
Notice how I reused the mock silencer and
J&J ceramic Barrel. I don't get rid of
anything. This Marker usually ends up my
afternoon marker at big scenario's. This
Marker has never let me down..Always fires
In 2006 I purchased a Opsgear
G36 kit for a tippmann 98 and a
upgraded rifled barrel I installed
it on my Armotech WG-65 .
(Pictured Left)
After a while I put my Armptech clip kit
on it and bought a tri-rail mount for my
scope. (Pictured Left)
(later that front hand grip became
missing in action)
2010 Changes
I found in 2009 that having my M82A1 running with a response trigger and cyclone feed was a little over
kill. I decided to switch marker bodies with the setups. The G36 is built and ready with the 98c responce
trigger and cyclone feed. I will have pictures shortly. The M82A1 will be the older 98.Semi -Auto
,standard hopper feed.
