Clevelanders GET EXCITED! Elite Action Sports is coming soon, and they mean business.

Josh Tachdjian and his partner Aaron Ferraro intend to change the Ohio paintball scene as we know it.

“Expect a 40,000+ square foot facility complete with two X-ball fields, cleanliness to the extreme, and above-par amenities in the VERY near future” Tachdjian reveals.

MUCH more to come as deals are made, so stay tuned to be a part of the grand opening of Elite Action Sports’ new facility!

Posted on October 13, 2011 by Dave Posted in 1, Fields, header, Industry, Stores | Leave a comment

Best Paintball Supply, owned by Seth Dragomer a long-time member of the Ohio Paintball scene, has recently been listed as “for sale”.  The price is set at $20,000, which includes an $18,000 inventory, website, logos, store displays, and everything else.  The official “Going out of Business Sale” will begin this November.

Best Paintball Supply

Best PB has been serving the Mayfield Heights/Lyndhurst area since 2004, supplying mostly entry level – amateur paintball equipment as well as skateboarding gear.  It’s really tough for a Mom & Pop store to stay open these days, both with our troubled economy and the abundance of online shopping locations that sell products at insanely low prices.  Seth decided to sell his paintball business to pursue a career in Real Estate, which he has been dabbling in on the side for years.

Best Paintball was located at 5414 Mayfield Road in Lyndhurst, OH.  To contact Seth: 440.461.5220 or E-mail: Sales@bestpaintballsupply.com
