Hey there fellow paintball lovers!
If you want to see
the sport of paintball gain popularity and recognition outside of the already
dedicated paintball community, have I got an opportunity for you! Some of you
may remember Danny and Dusty Cort from the 2012 Vancouver Thunder CXBL roster.
Well their father Don Cort is the owner of the fantastic Doodlebug Sportz
Paintball (DBS) out in Everett, WA and their business is currently competing to
earn a television commercial to be aired during the 2014 Superbowl! The best
part is that we as a paintball family can support them in accomplishing this goal!
DBS is family
owned and operated and was founded by Mr. Cort in 1998. The company originated
as Don noticed a lack of paintball supplies and suppliers in their locale. The
Corts found that players didn’t have enough paintballs or CO2 to last them a
whole day of play at the local field so Don gutted a trailer and set it up to
sell supplies. Danny explained to me that each time they went to the field,
they would hook up the trailer so they could enjoy the game while supplying the
players. It wasn’t long before they
sought out land for their own field! After many issues trying to secure a
conditional use permit, the Corts decided to move their operation indoors where
these special permits would not be required. Since that time, DBS has been
running a very successful indoor paintball field!
When
I asked Danny about DBS’ vision, he said, “Our vision as a company is to
provide our community with an amazing paintball experience while creating jobs
and supporting our community.” Danny explained that winning the commercial
would not only be a huge opportunity for DBS but also for the entire paintball
community. We all know that the Superbowl has a massive reach and this kind of
exposure is difficult to come by for the sport that we all love! Danny hopes
that the commercial would have an incredible impact on the sport as a whole by
exposing people to the sport and possibly encouraging them to seek out
paintball fields locally.
