In this episode of the Shellda Podcast, Dan sits down with longtime paintball figure Dave Painter—known for his work behind the scenes at NXL events and now leading the legendary Upton 187 Crew back onto the field.

Dave shares how he balances his business background with his passion for paintball, what it really takes to grow the sport, and why the community keeps pulling him back. We dive deep into the challenges of running events, the economics of paintball, the importance of grassroots fields, and the emotional story behind bringing 187 back for World Cup.
Whether you’re a player, fan, or industry insider, this conversation is full of perspective on where the sport is heading and how we can all help it grow.
