Chris "Wolfy" Smith
Assistant Store Manager, Nashua NH

Chris “Wolfy” Smith started working for X Fire Paintball in the Auburn, Mass store in 2001 and now is the assistant store manager at the Nashua, NH store although he does duty at both stores.

Chris has been playing paintball since 1999 when he started out with a Tippmann 98 playing with his friends in Holden, Mass. From there it was not long until Chris was playing at Friendly Fire in Upton, Mass.

Chris has owned nearly every major type of paintball marker. He currently uses a Proto Matrix marker with a Custom Products barrel kit, Empire Reloader B Hopper, and 72 cu in, 4,500 psi Nitro Tank. On the field he wears DYE pads and Empire clothing.

Chris has taken training and become certified to work on all markers made by Tippmann and DYE Precision.

Eventually Chris became more interested in tournament play and joined an NEPL (New England Paintball League) Novice team called MFL at the end of the 2001 season. Subsequently Chris has played at the novice level with Lethal Injection, Dirty Half Dozen and Team Virus.

In 2004, Chris moved up to the Intermediate Tournament level and joined X Fire Red a 5-man Intermediate team for the P&L Tournament series and X Fire’s 7-man Intermediate team in the NEPL. Unfortunately he missed a lot of the season due a broken foot suffered just before the second NEPL tournament and missed three months of play. He was able to return for the fourth and final tournaments in the NEPL Tournament series and helped his team take THE OVERALL FIRST PLACE CHAMPIONSHIP. He also played in the final P&L Tournament – this time for X Fire Black, another 5-man Intermediate team, which took first place in the final tournament of the P&L season.

For the 2005 season Chris has joined team No Name which plays Division II X-ball in the PSP series. No Name refereed the first tournament of the 2005 series in Los Angeles, but expects to play and place in Orlando in April, Chicago in June, Pennsylvania in August and again in Orlando in October.
