Sewell, NJ, January 31st, 2011, Empire Paintball. Empire Paintball announces that pro paintball team, Sacramento XSV, will play the NPPL series with the Empire AXE Marker.

“The team has been very impressed with the performance of the gun,” said Rich Telford of Sacramento XSV. “I remember a time when a great, pro-level marker needed to be out of this world expensive! Times have changed and in the twenty-first century, a paintball gun can be both affordable and ready for competition - and Empire Axe is it.”

Thomas Taylor of XSV said, “The AXE is light, fast, accurate and compact…all the things I need in a paintball gun! For anyone who plays as aggressive and up the field as I do, the new Empire Axe is the perfect choice! I can't wait to hit the snake with my Axe in 2011!”

Last month, Empire Paintball released the new Empire AXE Marker. On first glance, the marker may look like a Mini, but once the marker is shot, it is a completely different story:
• Extended grip and trigger frame and ergonomic grip for maximum comfort
• Smooth and stable firing platform with feather light kick
• Easy maintenance with unique push-button bolt out back design
• Adjustable bearing trigger with micro-switch activation
• On/Off ASA with integrated pressure regulator

“Empire is proud to have XSV shooting our new AXE marker,” said Jason A. Taitano, VP of Marketing. “The feedback on the performance of the gun has already exceeded our expectations. From internal field testers, to external reviews, this gun shoots like butter. Having a Pro Team shooting the marker further justifies its high level of performance.”

PRESS RELEASE

JT and Sacramento XSV – Partners Again for 2011

Sewell, NJ, February 3rd, 2011, JT Paintball. JT and XSV announce that they partner for the 2011 season.

“It’s like coming home,” said Rich Telford of Sacramento XSV. “Our team has been connected to JT for so long and the passion for the brand runs so deep, that we couldn’t be happier to be back. The JT brand is legendary and truly one of the pioneer brands in our sport. The fact that JT is committed to driving new participants to the sport we love was something XSV had to be a part of – from design, development, testing, and overall involvement with the brand.

“JT has built a tremendous product and marketing plan focused at driving new participants to Paintball. Growing participation and sharing our passion for our sport with a new generation of players is what we are all about”, says Junior Brown of Sacramento XSV. “The fact that significant marketing dollars are being put behind growing the sport is something long over-due and we can’t wait to help put paintball back on the map!”

A legacy brand with a rich heritage, JT has continued to provide safety, comfort, and innovation, through the introduction of quality entry to mid level products, geared at the novice player, in the sporting goods and mass retail channels. In 2011, the JT marketing plans at retail includes parking lot demonstrations, promoting local paintball events and fields, and driving new customers to fields to play through the Free Rookie Pass.

“XSV is a perfect match for JT – they understand the brand, the focus, and the importance of growing paintball from the ground up,” said Jason A. Taitano, VP of Marketing. “The XSV team will be active ambassadors for the sport and will create a tremendous link between our retail partners, the new player and the established paintball market.”

Earlier this week it was announced that XSV will be shooting the Empire AXE. With JT now sponsoring the team with player gear, the team is now fully sponsored and ready to make an impact in 2011. The team will also be shooting Empire RPS Paint and using Empire Prophecy loaders.

Geht halt nicht jedem so gut wie Dir. ;-)
Aber entweder hast Du ´ne eigene Ölquelle im Garten und ein dementsprechendes Einkommen oder Du hast immo noch keinen Überblick, was es heißt eine Saison für ein Team zu finanzieren....anders kann man Deinen Beitrag nicht deuten ;-)

BTT: Solange halbwegs 10 Bälle je Sekunde rauskommen, tut´s auch dieser Wagenheber!

Sacramento XSV is setting the stage for another successful year in the pro paintball circuit. The team recently picked up Jason and Corey Bornstein from Oakland BLAST. The Hebrew Hammers as they are known, previously played with Ballistic and XSV Influence in divisional paintball. Later they worked there way up into the semi professional world and played with the OC Bushwackers, San Diego Aftermath and Newport Entourage. The two are known to feast on the field and will be solid additions to the team.

Also in the news, Patrick Slattery is said to be returning to the team. Pat played with XSV from 2008-2010 and then joined San Francisco Explicit in 2011.

The question remains as to whether or not the team will be competing in one or both of the pro paintball leagues in 2012. Prior to the merger rumors, XSV’s Junior Brown mentioned a sincere interest in playing the PSP in conjunction with the NPPL in 2012. Team owner Rich Telford has been known to been a devout 7-man supporter. However, with the NPPL format adopting more of an Xball structure, who knows where the team will end up.
