My name is Clay “Venom” Mullins I’ve been playing paintball with my wife for about 10 years. I started playing with a Tippmann 98 Custom and gradually increased my arsenal to include an autococker (LOVE AUTOCOCKERS), Tippmann A5, and soon a Planet Eclipse Etek 3. Rec-ball is fun but I prefer speedball and scenario. I have only recently joined the Texas roughnecks (2008) and have found that playing with a team is the best way to go rather than running solo! Since joining the Roughnecks I have been playing scenarios more than ever and wish I could do it for a living

Hi, my name is Sara “The Hammer“ Mullins. I first started playing paintball as a way of spending time with my husband in Lubbock, TX. Initially I thought “I don’t think I am going to like this; I’m claustrophobic; I don’t want to get hit; are you guys crazy?” It turned out it was pretty fun, go figure…and it works as great marriage counseling. Ten years later (games being far and few between), here I am just as anxious as I was the first day. Guys are always picking me out as a weak link, but after a game or two they soon figure out that I ain’t the weakest link…..goodbye! My husband and I just joined up with the Texas Roughnecks (texasroughnecks.com) which is a local scenario team filled with some great players (both on and off the team). Scenario is definitely the way to go for me until I can improve my skills in recball and speedball.

"Greg Donham aka "The Hunter" is a recent recruit to the Texas Roughnecks. Been playing paintball for about 4 years and has wanted to join the Roughnecks since year one. Although he can run and gun, he loves to use guerrilla tactics, ambushes and such. He is also a member of the Tarleton Paintball Coalition at Tarleton State University. "

I started playing paintball 3 years ago, at 13, when my brother brought me to Paintball Paradise and I rented an old Tippman (Tippy) and I fell in love...the rest is history. My brother and I started our own team (Texas Death) in 2008 and recruited my friend Tanner. Our gear wasn't the best at first...mainly Spyders and Tippy's, but we got by until the begining of 2009, when we all upgraded to Ion XEs and Halos. We finally entered a few beginner tourneys, and got 2nd, and 3rd about 5 times but we never placed 1st. In August I was looking to join another team since Texas Death broke up; I found the Texas roughnecks. After contacting hardshell about joining the team, I played with the roughnecks at the Market Gardens game at DFWAP in September of 2009, (my very first scenario game and I absolutely loved it). I traveled out to Mt. Pleasant to the Viper game where I had the privilege of becoming a core member of the Texas roughnecks.

My name is Ken "Warden" Albright and I have been playing paintball since the early 80's but only did so for a year or two since I couldn't afford it. I got back into the sport about 8 years ago with my son One-Track. We started playing speedball and loved it. About 4 years ago we tried our first scenario game and was hooked! We started our own team, Dead Man's Hand, but was recruited by Hardshell a couple of years ago and the Roughnecks absorbed Dead Man's Hand. I love the time I am able to spend with my son doing something we both love. I am also amazed at how The Roughnecks have become an extended family and I have made some really good friends.

Adam "ONE-TRACK" Albright years playing:8 I started out playing here and there when i was nine with my father, Warden. Then we started to get very heavy into the speedball scene, until we got fed up with the cheating, and trying to get commitment from other people to start a team. My dad finally coax me to play Petty Paintball's first big game. Ever since then i have been hooked to the scenario side. We have been playing scenario for 3-4 years now. However i still have the itch to mow faces in speedball.

My name is James "Ironman" Brooks. I've been playing and loving paintball for the last 10 years. My first experience was when I took my son Todd "Todo" Maddin for his 11th birthday and have been going since. I've always been interested in scenario games. I finally found the Roughnecks, talked to Hardshell, and here I am.

My name is Todd "Todo" Maddin. I started playing paintball with my dad James "ironman" about 10 years ago on my 11th birthday. I have been hooked ever since that day I love recball and speedball, but my dad James "ironman" always talked about scenario games and teams. We recently found the roughnecks and here we are.

My name is Austin Bauer, AKA Scud 1703. I got into paintball in April of 2009 and have been with the Texas Roughnecks since November of 2009. I started playing paintball to do something active and then I was HOOKED. I try and play as much as possible now. I prefer woods ball and the scenario games just because they are bigger, but I also enjoy speedball because of the speed and skills needed for the game. I primarily use my Dangerous Power G3 (never lets me down) with a CP reg and a Hammerhead MoFo Barrel kit. I use a 70/4500 stubby tank from Dye, and I use the Dye i4s and the the Dye Rotor (the best ever). I hope to be using my 09 Geo here shortly.

My name is Michael Hardin, aka Requeim or Mr Furious depending on who you talk to. I started getting into paintball because my good friend Austin told me how much fun it is. I joined the Texas Roughnecks after ghosting two of their members badly. I prefer woodsball and scenario ball to speed ball due to the ability that even when I am not playing a good game, tactics can get me into a favorable position. I use my 09 EGO along with a Hammerhead Barrell. Coupling these tools with my Dye Rotor and a 68 /4500 tank, nothing goes wrong with my equipment. I have picked up a Tiberous pistol/rifle and I plan to become quite deadly with it

My name is Daniel "Lt. Dan" McWilliams. I started playing paintball about 9 years ago on a random hunch. Started with a spyder Xtra and a 3 dollar hopper and slowly went through that gun, a '02 base model cocker, a 04 Dragun, a 08 Shocker NXT, and now setting my sights on a 2010 Etek3. Joined the team pretty much right after I got back from Iraq in early 2009. Never had played a scenario game before but these guys turned me onto it pretty hard, and I've been hooked ever since.

Hey my name is Andrew "Ballbuster" Mcwilliams I have been playing paintball for about 1 or 2 years. I started out with a smart parts Ion, like most newbies do and now I am shooting ropes with a Planet eclipse Etek3. I have been a member of the Roughnecks since June of last year and i hope to become a great player in the years to come.

My secret name is Steve Pittman, but in real life, I'm known as God. I started playing paintball when I created .... no wait, that was another project. Anyway, I started playing senario with the original guys a couple of years before this team was formed. I began with an A-5 and soon migrated to a double trouble. I added an OverLord, SP8 and an SP1, but when I got my Eclipse Etek 3 and Pinokio hopper, my paintball life changed. I truly enjoy the sport more using this marker and can't wait to add another Eclipse gun to my gear. Just remember .... if you are in a hurry to meet your Maker .... come see Me on the field.

Hey my name is Josh “Goblin” Thomas I have been playing paint ball for 6 yrs now, joined the Texas Roughnecks in 2006 been playing with them ever since I joined .

My name is Daniel "wolverine" Korn. Started playing paintball with my son Ryan in 2002. I had a brass eagle avenger. Everyone has to start somewhere. Met up with Hardshell and hornet in early 2004. At the time we were just running around playing at Wiseguys paintball field outside of Boyd Tx. I have been with the Roughnecks From the start. I have seen the team grow ever since the beginning. I Am the Leader of the Tactical Squads as well as the Ultimate Woodsball Teams. I play with an Ego 10, hammerhead mofo barrel and a Gorilla 88/4500 air tank. The woods are my domain. Don't fear the Woods, Fear whats in them....

My name is Tyler 'TwoTall' Ahrens, and I have been playing paintball for about 8 years now. I started off by playing with some friends and playing speedball. I played for a D3/D2 NPPL and PSP team TxO (Texas Outrage) out of Maximum Paintball where San Antonio X-Factor is at. Then I formed a club at my college, Tarleton State University with a few players from the team. I got introduced to the Roughnecks by one of these players and went to my first scenario event, "Weird World of OZ" and had a blast. I hope to become a part of the speedball scene for the team if we go that way.

Hey there, My name is Blake Couvion aka. "Coov." I've been playing paintball since i was 8, ill be 21 in August so that will be my 13 year mark. The first time i ever played I was pretty scared of being shot but a wise man told me soon after that I had the "fear," he also told me I had to overcome that to be a good baller and shortly after that I did ha ha. Bought my first gun that same day, a classic, the spyder compact. You will never hear me bad mouth a spyder but the greatest gun I've ever shot was an Eclipse. A little under 4 years ago I did some searching and found the Texas Roughnecks. At the time the Roughnecks were a lot smaller and weren't really content on doing much more than shooting in the woods but over the past few years we've really stepped up and proven ourselves to us and everyone else that you dont mess with the Texas Roughnecks. Im a speedballer all the way and tend to do the most damage on an airball field but I can work with bush I'll be shooting an etek3 soon, with a shocker and a fully upped ion as my backs. Roughnecks: join us, or get painted lol.

Jared Finley "Flashburn." I have been playing paintball scince '98 but in 2007 got serious about it. I'm RELENTLESS on the field. I currently run with an ego 10 equiped with an Empire prophecy. I dont like being shot, so if you see me, leave me alone. Thanks! And if you dont, you can bet that your base will be rolled with in the hour.
