Anybody ever heard of Bob Long or know anything about why he gave up bowhunting?
The Intimidator was introduced in 2000. It was the vision of paintball icon Bob Long. Bob Long is most widely known as the captain and leader of the legendary Ironmen during the late eighties and nineties.
Bob Long was first introduced to paintball in 1985. He owned an archery business at the time and later supplemented paintball supplies to his current business. In 1999, he closed the archery business and focused his attention on paintball.
Bob Long began making custom markers and parts when he was not able to get the products he wanted from his distributors. The Intimidator was designed to compete with the accuracy of an Autococker® and the speed of an Angel™. And with Bob Long's experience and recognition in the sport, it is no surprise the popularity of the Intimidator has grown as rapidly as it has. Today, Intimidator's are one of the top choices of pro's and rec ball players alike.
Really???

On a side note, who is considered a pro bowhunter and what do they make?
bullpoopy... WTF you want them to make?? a million bucks??
I wouldnt call them athletes either... boys with toys... aint nuttin wrong with it, played when I was younger and had a heck of a time...
My point was that for a professional league that only the elite players make any money. Most players only make enough to play paintball and have to have a real job on the side to pay for rent.
"bullpoopy... WTF you want them to make?? a million bucks??"
Don't care what they make. Just like you and me, you're worth what someone will pay you.
"I wouldnt call them athletes either"
I would agree for the most part. Most are somewhere in-between a golfer and a baseball player with really fast fingers. Tournament paintball (speedball) is a lot more intense and faster paced than scenerio or woodsball was back in the day.
Really?
ROTFLMAO!
