Saturday September 22nd at the new Nanaimo location we're planning a Grand Opening Celebration. We'll be providing hot dogs and pop for those who stop by, and we've got permission to set up nets for one of our Live Target Shoots in the back parking Lot.

We'll be needing help in the form of live targets for the general public to shoot at. Pay will come in the form of cash or paint...depending on how much time is spent helping out by the individual. We'll also need help with the BBQ and running the target shoot.

The target shoot is 2.00 for 10 shots (the same as for the fun fairs) and each shooter will get their name put into a draw for a Tippmann gun package!

Anyone who wishes to stop by to talk to nonpaintball players about the sport is encouraged.

Just confirmed that The Wolf radio station will be broadcasting LIVE from the new location. I'm hoping this will help make this grand REopening a huge success.

Yes there will be sale pricing on everything in the store. No not everything will be marked...but consider it almost like boxing day....only warmer.

Everyone should come down and check it out, it should be real fun!

u should pay extra if they do it shirtless!!! or in assless chaps...id pay 2 shoot soemone dressed like that!

The assless chaps definately depends on who it is. I mean let's face it...nobody wants to see Kieran in assless chaps...

B, we'll talk. Pay better be good, and I don't want to know where the assless chaps came from.

thats not what you said last night







should be alot of people there, come out for some good times.

You're right...last night I said*Only a <edited for underaged readers protection> would wanna see Kieran in assless chaps.*
Betcha can't wait to see what Kieran's gettin paid to do for work that day. I was kinda thinkin of a clown costume and a sign saying *SHOOT PEOPLE HERE* Now we'll have to have him do it in assless chaps instead. (but we don't really wanna scare the people off now do we?)

Sounds like there will be lots of other prizes being handed out as well now. This is gonna be better then Christmas...

well ill make frenchie come so that way at least some one will appriciate me!!!

Ya Shark. Shark Energy is gonna give us some Shark to hand out at the event...working on attaining more prizes and goodies...

Got a couple more sponsored prizes to give out...I'll compile a more complete list of the generous companies as we get closer to the date.

Do you have any Signs or anything? cause i could put up some in my school and i think it would get people interested

we could strap some signs to the back of my wheelchair and roll me around downtown nanaimo i think that would attract some people out.

The school's won't allow that type of sign to be put up as it is advertising for a business.


And Justin rolling around in a wheelchair with a sign advertising Bastion Paintball...hrrrmmm....I can see it now:

"Paintball huh? That's cool...just curious, how'd you break your leg?"

Might not be the best advertisement. lol

i would just be like from sleeping with your mom and she is gunna be there so show up and they would be like ok

Anybody get that? I sure didnt. I think your drunk.

I got it. It just lacked punctuation of any kind.


"Paintball huh? That's cool...just curious, how'd you break your leg?"

i would just be like, "from sleeping with your mom, and she is gunna be there, so show up." and they would be like "ok!"

it may lack punctuation but people still understood it unlike you devon soo what does that say...and its not alchol its drugs remember the leg?

New bastion site as well! WOW it looks good... that player in the top left corner looks awesome!

BTW new forum is down unfortunately. I don't know if it's just me but it says there is an error.

Yah im working on the bugs, forum software is apparently finicky

Congratulations again Brandon, and I hope everything goes well at the grand reopening tomorrow. Nice to see the Islands longest running (?) retail paintball store expanding operations again!

Matt / PBL

Just out of cuiriosity what time does this all start?

Yup...since '99...we're the longest serviing retail location for sure...could be argued the longest serving paintball company period on the Island. But that's another story altogether


And Justin...it starts at noon for the opening etc...pics are being taken for the website at 10:30 or so...

Big thanks to everyone who showed up to help set up, and be live targets...you really made this event happen. Thanks also to the participants, some who were existing customers, many who are future customers. Several of the shooters were from my other life...the hooligans that they are.

Thanks to the prize sponsors: Pacific Paintball-Nelson Paintballs, PBL West, Shark Energy, DYE Precision, and Queale Electronics.

The event was a HUGE success, and was awesome fun.
