History

Field directory

NZPaintball's Hamilton field-directory thread listed Final Impact as a local paintball venue. The thread was created on 11 June 2005, and the surviving listing carries a moderator edit dated 14 May 2006. It lists Final Impact separately from Paintball Hamilton.[4]

Training

In November 2007, a forum discussion about professional training clinics advertised a Hamilton session for Monday 12 November, starting at 6 pm at “Hugos”. The discussion concerned the New Zealand visit of Brandon Short and Alexander Savino.[1] The venue has subsequently been identified as Final Impact.[2]
