[Shocker03]

It's been a huge news day for paintball! While the Mid-Atlantic continues to dig out of an epic snow storm with more on the way, the rest of the country is heating up with huge announcements from the West Coast and the Northeast. First, Dye picked up professional team San Diego Aftermath, then KEE Action Sports purchased the legendary paintball company JT Sports. Now, legendary team XSV has changed gun sponsors for the first time since picking up the Ego upon its launch five years ago, as Junior Brown announced that XSV will shoot Alien markers for the 2010 season.

Read on for the full press release from XSV!

Placerville, California (February 8, 2010) – Alien Paintball announces the signing of professional paintball team Sacramento XSV for the 2010 season. Since their inception in 2003, Sacramento XSV has been known for their top tier finishes and for using the best equipment. They are proud to shoot the new 2010 Alien Independence.

Rich Telford, owner/captain of Sacramento XSV said, “I’ve know Jack Rice from Alien for a long time and we’ve always been friends. It’s really exciting that Alien is finally in a position to work with XSV at such a major level.” He continues, “It was an incredibly hard decision for us to switch gun sponsors, but Junior and I have both been shooting the Independence for a few weeks now and Alien makes a solid gun that I believe in. The gun has a smooth, calm shot plus it comes with the Critical trigger and Tadao electronics; if we didn’t think we could win with it, we wouldn’t shoot it.”

Jack Rice owner of Alien Paintball commented: "This is great, XSV is legendary and I couldn’t happier to have them shooting the Independence this year. It’s been a long time coming, but with KEE Action Sports distributing our guns, and now XSV shooting them, 2010 is going to be a fantastic year”

Look for Sacramento XSV shooting Alien Paintball's 2010 Independence at both the PSP's Phoenix Open on March 19-21, 2010 and the NPPL Surf City Open in Huntington Beach, CA on April 9-11, 2010.
