Summer Fun: The Zoo Or A Country Farm

by Jack Wogan

Weekends are better spent somewhere in the outdoors, especially if you have kids. This is a great way to spend your weekends and not to overspend.

Kids and adults like to go the Zoo and see all the animals and eat some cotton candy. So why don’t you try to find out if there is one in your town or somewhere close to you. Going to the Zoo can be both fun and educational at the same time. Your kids will have the chance to learn new things about the animals and also spend a fun day with their parents. But after all that walk you surely will become hungry so why don’t you pack a little basket with some food and have a picnic also. Don’t forget about the Frisbee and the soccer ball. You kids will surely want to play after the visit to the Zoo.

Something else that you might try is to spend your free days at a farm house. Your kids will have a wonderful time and they will learn new things about the animals and how and where they live. They will have the chance to see how plants grow and maybe visit an animal exposition. It could be a useful experience because most kids in our days think that milk and apples can only be found at the supermarket. So take the time and teach your kid the basic things, he/she will surely find in interesting.

If this sounds interesting then you can actually spend your holiday at the countryside. There are farmers that rent rooms or even guest houses for those that like to see how life at a farm is. This way you will relax and your kids will have a great time playing with the animals and watching how life at a farm goes by. He/she will surely learn how to appreciate more the things he/she has at home.

So do some research and find out what the perfect location for your summer getaway.

Paintball: Compressed Air Vs Co2, Which Is Best?

by Gary Garrett

Let us take a peak at CO2 and see what is going on inside of it and your gun while you are playing paintball. Many players choose to use it because it is more affordable than the superior solution, compressed air.

Many paintball players are fine staying with CO2. It works well enough if their gun that they don’t have a good enough reason to upgrade. For those of you that want to best they can get though, you should consider upgrading.

In the winter months, or in colder temperatures, you can experience several problems while using CO2. Your gun may start to sputter, choke, get freezing cold, or it may freeze up. Your tank may also get so cold that you can’t touch it.

You probably will experience these problems during periods of rapid shooting. When you are rapidly firing it is usually during a time when it is extremely important that you get lots of paintballs in the air. It is during times like these that you especially don’t want any problems to arise.

There is both liquid and gas inside of a CO2 tank. It is the gas you want your gun to use, and not the liquid, as it is what causes problems. As you shoot your gun, more of the liquid will turn into gas. When you shoot faster than the liquid can convert to gas, the liquid will enter your gun and cause problems.

Liquid entering your gun can cause horrible consistency from shot to shot. One shot may be fine, but then you may notice that the shots after it all travel shorter.

Having inconsistent velocity can greatly affect your ability to hit your target. Many times, it helps to be able to shoot a stream of paint to keep someone in their bunker, or to hit a moving target. With each shot going not as far as the first one, it makes it difficult to do either.

The solution to all your CO2 woes is HPA (or compressed air). It is consistent from shot to shot, and isn’t affected by cold weather. Velocity during rapid firing is more consistent.
