As some will I have changed the name of this page so as now instead of managing multiple Osiris accounts for different things such as sport, gaming and cosplay I have decided to merge it all and call this Bishops adventures where I will post everything I do.

After some hard and long thinking and I have come to conclusion that I'm stepping away from the Gelball competitive scene and going be sticking with the paintball competitive scene. You will still see me at Gelball Comps but I will only playing at social events. But I feel I have made right decision to put all my competitive efforts into Paintball.

I would like to start by saying thank you to the Damage Control team for coming in and letting us have fun especially when went from a 3 man comp team to a 5 comp team. I was glad I got to form this team and has proud of the team performed in season 1 of Gelx.

I would to like to thank Sting Ops Tactical for helping me build my one blasters.

I would to like thank Project Genesis for helping me with how do my videos.

I would like to thank Gelcraft for painting my blasters.

I would like to thank First 2 the Flag AU for helping me with sun protection when I needed it.

I would like to thank Speedsoft for supplying me decent belt and mag holster for season 1 of Gelx.

I would like to thank Head Hunters for bring out my confidence for Gelball.

I also want to say thank you to EPIC, RefJ and Broken Blaster, Safari Zoomer for supporting me though out my Gelball scene.

I would like say my paintball home is Bounty Hunters so let's kick ass Bounty Hunters.

Photos of me from my first paintball tournament a big thanks to Carter_Photography for the photos they look the great.

Felt good being able to make debut for the Bounty Hunters team now to look forward to Super 7s in may.

Yesterday the team headed out to the first round of PYANO (our local tournament here in South Australia) for 2023.

The team line up was put together with the idea of helping some of our fresh players develop and gain some great experience befor we head back on over to NSW in afew weeks time.

Our newest player Michael stepped out onto the tournament field for the first time in his speedball debut, throughout the day we watched him get more confidence and open up his lungs with his comunication skills starting to roar.

Lachlan's second tournament with the team we decided to push him out of his comfort zone and put him into positions that we could test his confidence and ability. We watched on as he gained the necessary skills in providing cover and protection for other players on the field helping them to advance up the field.

Cooper our youngest player on the team was pumped and ready to go from the moment he rocked up to the field, we wanted to help him stretch his legs and grow his confidence in getting into aggressive key positions on the field. Up until a rough landing in a slide into snake (that sidelined him for the afternoon) we watched his confidence and lightning quick ability shine opening up our options and possibilities for plays in the future.

Sid one of our local players hit the field again with his let's have fun and go for it attitude, we let him do his thing letting him have a blast and helping to provide support and great communications to the team.

Ryan went out for another local tournament with the team and worked with filling into position on the team so we could get the more inexperience players into the positions we needed them to be in. With afew points seeing him on the field as the last man standing we watched him keep a cool calm head and focus on the fun of the sport.

Ricky one of our experienced players helped to mentor and provide feedback to the newer players on the team, with the idea of him stepping onto the field to work with the newer players and help them develop their skills when needed. It's always a blast watching him work his way into aggressive positions and using his quick feet to attempt some crazy moves.

Craig set out the day with the idea of taking a step back from the on field action to watch over the newer players and work out the areas the team needs to focus on in our next big training day coming up soon, while also rotating throughout the day to help when some of the players fatigued throughout the day.

The team played hard throughout the day with some rounds going down to game time running out showing us that the team can hold their ground against some of the experienced teams here in South Australia.

Entering into finals we battled it out against the Jokers for 4th and 3rd. The fight went down to wire with time running out and live players heading to the ref's for a field count of players, the suspense of the ref's huddled, discussing the results was intense. With the ref's discussions complete they called the team captains to the field and announced that both teams were in a stale mate draw, this resulted in a rare 1v1 winner takes all battle for 3rd. Craig (Captain of the Bounty Hunters) and Jim (Captain of the Jokers) were to chose their payer they wanted to front up for the 1v1. Craig turned to the team to discuss their options without even being able to say a word the team had already unanimously decided that they wanted Craig to head back out for the 1v1 against James from the Jokers.
Walking back on the field we had no idea what way things would go, but with the support from the team behind Craig within 30 seconds we would have an answer as he moved across the field and pushed up a row of bunkers he managed to hone in a shot that got the Bounty Hunters the win for 3rd place for the day.

The team had great help within the pits from our pit leader Michelle along with Britney, Bree and Carla helping to pod up and wipedown players while also makingsure we kept our fluids up and keping everyone on track for the next point.

We would like to thank our amazing sponsors for their contributions and support for the 2023 season.

Thanks once again to everyone for their support.

This is the team that we did 3rd place with.

Came third today in my first tournament with Bounty Hunters it feels great

First tournament of Paintball for Bounty Hunters

Wow another year has past and I have had person growth with increase of skills. In 2019 I started at a casual player. 2020 I started competitive Gelball with a team. 2021 owned my own Gelball team. 2022 saw me and the team grow. This year can't wait to see my growth within Gelball and in paintball with the bounty hunters as this is my first season playing competitive.

Would like to thank the Paintballshop.com for these they are awesome.

I'm so proud of my Paintball team ❤️❤️❤️

Well, we are all back home safe and sound after we packed our bags and crossed the border to compete in Super7'S over in NSW.

We didn't come back empty-handed either being the first-ever interstate trip for the Bounty Hunters we came back as the first South Australian team ever to take out 1st place in round 1 of the AMS Super7s series.

The team really came together and pushed each other to their absolute limits as watched each and every player improve every time they stepped onto the field.

The team was shocked when they were told that they made it into the semi-finals and were even more taken away that after the qualifying rounds we were sitting in 1st place.

The semi-final was a challenge in itself, with the team not wanting to take any risks they tried playing a hard defensive play, which ended up with them battling it out until the time ran out, they now had to face the overtime sudden death round. The team came together at the start gate and knew exactly what they had to do. It was time to go aggressive, paint flew through the air, and before we knew it the victory in the semi-finals was ours moving us on to battle it out in the finals.

The finals saw us come up against the Berserkers who put up a good fight, but the boys from the Bounty Hunters stepped it up a gear and threw everything they had at them. With the team focused on the plans we had in place, we managed to take out a 3-0 victory in the finals meaning we had won our very first Super7's AMS round.

The trip would not have been possible without the help from Paintballshop.com so we would like to thank them for their ongoing support and hospitality of the ADL Bounty Hunters.

The team is already looking ahead and starting to book our next trip over in May for round 2 and can't wait to see what the next round has in store for us.
