Easy enough what was the most important factor in the purchase of your marker,cost, performance, looks, overly generous sponsor?

I'm lucky in that price isn't an issue for me. I go primarily for Angels for a variety of reasons: even a stock Angel is tip-top tourney quality with no mods required, unlike many other designs; they look good & they shoot good; they're relatively low maintenance; WDP provide awesome support; I can fix them - I've been fixing Angels since about day 1, initially under guidance from Jack Wood at Planet, although I eventually went on a WDP tech course, but by then the horse had truely bolted :); finally they're British & I'm a patriotic kind of guy!

Bought and sold my way through the lot. One day I will find the glass marker that fits. (Cinderella reference)

99 Cocker, cuz the deal was well good and they have a great reputation. Only stock bit on it was the body. Not bad for a first marker :D Went well at 2K3 (with jamie's help though !!)

My Hybrid SFT, best looking shocker, probably best looking marker ever made, will out shoot pretty much anything for feel and once the eigen bolt is release (only been 4 years lurker!) it will be very efficient too.

That particular shocker was through extensive testing and mischief with a black and red one

GOT TO AGREE WITH BALF;)
if you want to buy a cheap spoolie buy a second hand shocker and put a spring moded bolt in it
great effiecency
better than a dye nt hands down
and you get this for peanuts
shockers are the mutts nuts:D:D:D
now i own an etek3 am,2x shocker sft,s,invert mini and 2x 07 fusions
but every time i use 1 of my shockers i come off field with a big grin and a stain in my undies:D:D:D
you will spend thousands trying to find your perfect marker set up but when you do,
you will get that weird feeling inside when you us that marker
it,s a long road to find your unicorn but when you do it will be special:cool:
