| COBRA was founded in Jan/Feb
of 2007 by two paintballers who found each other on the Special
Ops Paintball brigade page. These two soon realized that they
both already frequented local Houston recball fields. It wasn't
long before these guys took their game to the next level and
started COBRA. Initially, they came up with the team name
COBRA but were indecisive about what team logo to use. Luckily,
the G.I. Joe Cobra logo was readily available and they went
with that initially. However, COBRA has since redesigned their
snake logo. It can be seen at the very top of this page.
COBRA consists of experienced team
players from all over Texas. They primarily play scenario
games, but are known to play other events like the UWL and
other tournies. They also LOVE to travel and have attended
many events such as D-Day, Living Legends, Skirmish, Decay
of Nations, Waynes World Grand Finale, CPX Sprorts Living
Legends and others and have also won numerous awards. Check
their events page for events
updates. Whether it's a 26 or 12 hour scenario game or competitive
event, COBRA will play it. They all have different skill sets
that they bring to the game, but they all share the same drive
in the sport: to play with integrity and good sportsmanship.
They also love to meet new teams and form relationships with
those teams and paintballers. At the end of the day, the most
rewarding aspect of paintball is the relationships formed
with your teammates and other fellow paintballers!
Some of the team members started out playing
with pumps, some started out playing speedball, others started
out in the woods. To these guys, paintball is a passion. You
will always see them rockin' GI
Sportz/Tippmann markers at local or distant paintball
fields. They play with heart and lots of aggression and they
strive to push their gameplay to the highest level. COBRA
practices often in order to maintain and hone their skills.
They are also proud that several of their players are prior
sevice members or are currently deployed overseas.
COBRA used to be a home team at Tactical paintball in Harwood,
TX. If you frequented the scenario games there, then you
probably ran across COBRA. There were many great home teams
at that field, but it eventually closed and teams had to
move on. COBRA is currently a home team at 5J
paintball in Spring, TX. If you get a chance, check
out this field! If you play a scenario at this field, be
sure to stop by the COBRA staging area. If you think they
take the game too seriously, just stop by their staging
area for a brewski, bar-b-que and some laughs. You can't
miss their staging area. They usually have a number of large
banners up. They love their sponsors and they value their
relationships with their sponsors and try to become valuble
to them. They strive to represent them, not just on the
field, but with videos
and product reviews.
That is why they are proud to hang our sponsor banners at
games!
So where are they playing next? Check out their game
schedule. They frequently take part in scenario
and paintball events around the US and will sometimes command
a game. Be sure to stop by their camp to meet them. If you
get a chance, be sure to like their FACEBOOK
page, follow their INSTAGRAM
page and join their FORUM
and say hello!
Are you looking to join a team? COBRA is looking for dedicated
and responsible team players that have the means and the
commitment to make at least one scenario game or practice
every one or months. If you are interested in JOINING
THE TEAM, let them know. They will be glad to meet
with you.
See you on the field!
