Mike Peters is the old-timer here as far as paintball is concerned -- he played it when the "stock gun" was state-of-the-art. Years ago he and friends started a paintball club and played on private land, because there was nowhere else to play. Mike has extremely good timing and uncanny field sense that only comes from playing years and years of paintball. Mike is very good with new players, hang around him and you will learn alot. If all of the more experienced players were so friendly and open with useful advice Paintball would be more popular than Baseball (OK, maybe Cricket). More than once I have seen him take a group of newbies, place them in key positions while he floats, encouraging and instructing them, and successfully defend objective forts against much greater odds and more experienced teams.I hate it when he does that (when I'm on the opposing team).

Mike does not like to run or crawl, but he will kneel on occasion.

He's a member of the veteran "Vortex" paintball team, but is on record of enjoying shooting us rec players more. Mike uses a Automag, and has been known to loan it to a first time player and use his old pumpgun. Mike counts the number of paintballs he shoots so he can see what his kill to paintball ratio is. It's usually pretty low. The chrony that we use was originally from Mike's old paintball club. Bio by Joe Lambert

In experience, Mike is the old man of the paintball field. He has an eerie sense of where to be and how to get there without being noticed. Never seams to be in a hurry. Its a rare thing indeed to see Mike actually break into a run. It's not uncommon, however, to find him on the sending end of the paintball that just broke on your back. (Whoop, "I'm out!" ,,,." Hi, Mike.") Mike can play very well on offense of defense, as part of a squad or alone. One of his favorite techniques is to hang back generally in his teams fort area and snipe the other team's assault group out. Then move on the opposing teams fort as opportunity presents itself. Mike is a major force on the fields and an asset on his team.

Mike is one of the original "charter members" of the backyard. He rarely used his Automag then except to loan out to new players while he used a pump. I have not seen Mike use that pump in the last couple of years. I'm not sure if its because we've gotten better and he's finding us challenging without having to go nearly stock - class, or he's just trying to make us feel better. Bio by Mike Aberle

Mike has been playing so long we couldn't find any color pictures of him.	Mike looks like this between games	Mike Peters mopping up in the last minutes of the "Big Red One" BIG GAME at CPP (Brad Pasqual, and Rhett Ringenberger in the background.)
