was quite a learning experience understanding what it takes to start a paintball company

In 2009 I left Azodin to further enhance my
education. In 2011 after graduating I was
offered back a position with Azodin as their
graphic designer. In February 2013 Azodin
decided to close its U.S. office leaving many

David and I crossed paths with a business

Will you be using distributors or selling direct?
D3FY will be selling its products to wholesalers however we will offer parts and services
to our customers.
What can you tell us about the DS3 that

The D3S was designed to be our entry-level

our first gun run doesn’t include the updated
board we will offer the updated version at no
additional cost to our customers. In addition
we will offer a free re-flash on our boards as
tournament leagues change their firing mode
settings.

How has D3FY been received in the paintball

D3FY first released a teaser ad in October
2013 to promote the D3S marker. It was well
received with intense curiosity and it circuThanks Sergio!
