Alright, so the 2026 Paintball Hall of Fame class is shaping up to be a big one. The Growth Era gets four inductees, Golden Era gets two, and the Modern Era gets at least one. I sat down and tried to make my picks—and let me tell you, this was not easy. Let’s start with the Growth Era. There are a ton of deserving names, but I landed on Fred Schultz, Glenn Palmer, Dan Bonebrake,…
Watch the entire stream ➡ https://youtu.be/oQdXkiGuCkU I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. This might be the best paintball move I’ve ever seen.

It’s wild to see a rookie team come out swinging like this, winning back-to-back events like it’s nothing. What…
