Verticle Terrain - Is it playable?

So for the past week ive been building a woodball "field" in a 150 foot deep ravine, well actually a spot where 3 seperate ravines merge into one ravine. The ravines are at least 150 feet deep and about 6-10 feet wide at the very bottom and the walls are caked in ferns, fallen trees, air-logs over the ravine, and giant stump castles all on walls that are pitched at about a 60-70 degree angle.

While working out there earlier today carving staircases and ledges into the cliffsides it suddenly hit me: Hoppers (unless completely full) cant easily feed balls into a marker thats tipped up or down at anything over like a 25 degree angle, or at least, I think so.

Am I correct??? Is such a terrain that involves predominantly up/down angled shots at well over a 25 degree angling of the gun going to either be completely unplayable or just a REAL huge ***** to play on because youd have to constantly level your gun out after 2-3 shots so that the balls can enter the feed tube (or even electric force feeder device) before you could aim or shoot again???

Or am I missing something in my train of thought???

I dont suppose there is such a thing as a hopper designed specially for feeding balls even when the gun is tipped 90 degrees up or 90 degrees down?? Someone needs to invent that, call it the 360 hopper, electro-force feed from any position, even holding the gun upside down. Thats a million dollar paintball accessory there, every pro would wanna have one even if they never play verticle terrains, just to dicksize saying they got the most high tech of the high tech.



Has anyone ever played on a VERY verticle based terrain such as that im describing?


Any and all input on the matter is much appreciated. Ive put so much work into this field so far and it is so awesome it has an entire castle of 6 different stumps all grouped together on one side of the ravine 100 feet up, I really dont wanna have to abandon her, but I really dont know if such verticle terrain is even playable when most your shots would be at very steep angles. Maybe there are hoppers out there that bypass this issue?

Thanks guys.
