Here’s an interesting story courtesy of Caleb Zwar, owner of Spraymore Paintball Mines, an entrepreneur who loves developing great products and at the same time dedicated to keeping his products affordable for those of us that love to paintball and have all those toys that make the game even more interesting.

The following is Calebs recollections of his experience in paintball and his new Spraymore Paintball 4th generation mine… another great product to consider.

About 4 years ago, a fellow Paintball buddy and I were going on a snowboarding/skiing trip with our wives. It was about a 5 hour drive through northern Michigan, so we passed the time talking over various topics. One of which included the fine sport of Paintball and it’s lack of alternative weapons! (much to our wives joy)

That soon lead us to the topic of Paintball Mines and Grenades. My educational background is Sensors and Electronics, so naturally I started thinking, “Why are none of these Paintball Mines or Grenades Electrically triggered?”

Ever since that conversation, I have been on a mission to create the world’s best, re-usable, powerful, yet still electronically triggered Paintball Landmine money can buy! Oh, and a goal of mine has been to keep the cost of this amazing device as low as possible.

I remember Paintballing when I was a kid. Sure it would have been fantastic to have one of these remotely detonated Paint Mines back then… but on a $4 dollar a week salary, good luck talking Mom into buying one of these puppies. So one of my main goals has been to keep this product as low cost as possible so that everyone can enjoy it!

After moving out to beautiful Southern California, I was able to build myself a work shed in the backyard, and really get down to business. I had some help getting the Website up and running (http://www.PaintballLandmine.com), and just recently scooped up (http://www.Spraymore.com) to make it official. Over the years I have taken all the legal steps in order to assure that the Spraymore series will remain rightfully my property.

The Spraymore series is actually the 4th Generation of Remotely Triggered mines that I have developed over the past 4 years (as my Wonderful and Patient wife can confirm)

With the Spraymore series I have taken all of the successes that I have found with the other 3 generations and tossed out all the failures. In the end I think that the Spraymore is all of the things I have set out to accomplish (re-Usable, powerful, electronically triggered…. and I think it is the best on the market… especially in the under $100 category)

Am I hanging up the development towel? Absolutely not, due to popular requests, after using the “Spraymore 5000″ on a few Paintball fields, and other feedback I received from happy customers, I have been developing the “Spraymore Auto”, the World’s First Motion Sensing Paintball Landmine!!! (should be ready sometime early 2010)

My passion is making things, and I love the sport of Paintball. My hope is that the Spraymore series adds just a bit more reality and hilarity to the sport!
