Winged Man!

paul damaged armThis will be short, but due to lack of coordination, intelligence and knowing where to put my feet, I took a flying header at X-treme Tactical today. Thought it was just a sprain but a dozen x-rays later, it turns out I picked up a hairline fracture right on the ball of my right shoulder along with soft tissue trauma from the impact. Picture 260 lbs of camo, paintball gear, SP8 and geriactric wannabe sailing through the air to land on the palm of your right hand while holding a marker. Crater. Pain. Thanks to Camo Ken, fellow player Chris Webb, and X-treme Tactical for taking care of me at the field.

I will be serving in a coaching capacity next Saturday at Gold Diggers (Boss) Paintball when Team: Tango takes to the field. I figure this the only way I can save on paint. Right now, I can’t move my arm at all. I am trying to figure out to shoot lefty… and walk at the same time.
