What is pog?
The Palmer Owners Group (pog) is an association of players who own paintball markers designed by Glenn Palmer. The group was formed by Neal Starr in 1997 and is sponsored by "Paint", the online paintball magazine. Since then it has gone from strength to strength and is considered by many to be the benchmark for paintball owners groups on the web. Membership is open to all owners of Palmer paintball markers. Below you will find pictures of just a few of the custom markers that have come from Palmer's Pursuit Shop.

Visit our Forum & Chat Room (chat times are often posted on the forum) to discuss paintball related topics with our members and check out our extensive collection of articles that cover all aspects of Palmer paintball markers.

Show your support for pog by purchasing T-Shirts, mugs etc. from the online shop. If you own a Palmer marker and wish to join pog, please fill out the membership application form.

All general pog enquiries should be sent to the Keeper of the list (KoTL) Brent Hoefling (Rambo Preacher) at pog@paintmagazine.com

How Palmer's Started
Glenn Palmer is known to all of us as the maker of fine paintball markers. So, how did it all begin? This extract is from an interview with Glenn written for the first issue of "Paint".

"As a third generation gunsmith, it was just sort of natural for me to improve on the equipment I was using and as I became able to outshoot most everyone else on the field, people would ask me if I could make their guns shoot as well as mine did. Since they were willing to pay me for my work, I was willing to do the work for them.

Palmer's Pursuit Shop didn't really become a business, though, until after I invented the first 12 gram quick changer, that I called QuikSilver. I developed the quick changer in August 1987 and it went on the market in January 1988. I began the filing process for a patent on QuikSilver and placed a small advertisement in the then new magazine "Action Pursuit Games". It was a small, one twelfth page advertisement that read "Attention: Sheridan Owners!! Change your CO2 cartridge in as little as 3 seconds with the QuikSilver quick change. For further information call ..."

Well, I got nearly 1,500 phone calls in the first three weeks and I quit my job of managing an overhead door company (residential and commercial garage doors), got a business licence and went to work. The guns had to be machined to accept the quick change and as the guns came in to be modified, I was often asked what else I could do for the gun. It just grew from there."
