Hey, I was thinking of making a field out of those inflatible (sp) Santas, Elves, Grinches, Snowmen, that people buy at Target or somewhere like it as a Christmas decorations for their front yard. I most likely won't go through with this idea, but if I get a decent amount of money for Christmas, I could go look at Target or somewhere the 26th when they have all their stuff on sale, and buy some to set up in my backyard and mess around with. I have though of what could make these not good bunkers and I came up with:

Arn't secured to the ground well enough causing them to get knocked over

Cords holding it to the ground getting in the way causing someone to run into on, or knowing my friends, get completely tangled up in one and not being able to free themselves while everyone else laughs at them and shoots them

They may be made of a thin materiel that could possibly break on impacts from the balls, or have thing straps which hold the cords that go into the ground, meaning they make tear off and be useless, and get knocked around

Deflating issues, which means stopping every couple of minutes and blowing them up again

Thats all the negatives I could think of really, but possitives would be:

Cool shapes, lots of ways to play them as bunkers

Having a field to screw around with in my backyard, or a friends backyard/property

Not too expensive (I am not quite sure, but I don't think they are much?) Someone give me a price if they could.

So, I am looking for your guys input on this idea. Has anyone tried this before? Or something like it? Anyone have one of these inflatibles, that wouldn't mind telling me +/- about them?

Note: If there is another thread like this please link me to it, I have searched but now found it. Thanks.

good idea you should do it

the only problem is they might pop after repaetedly being shot at by a gun.

and their was another thread on this about using the spongebob things outside of burger king to make a field

Zynister

Yeah, I thought about the popping as they are not mad to be repeatedly pounded by paintballs. The spongebob one doesn't really relate to this one, but could you link me? And, like I said I'll do it if I still have moeny after I get my new timmy and the prices drop on the Xmas decorations

that wuld be a cool google search, "using christmas decorations as ownage"

i think they are expensive, less expensive then bunkers, but expensive none the less, i think thats why people only hagve 1 or 2, but if ur looking for cheap, go for the halloweens ones,a nice round pumpkin bunker would work nicely
