Slim's Stocktoberfest: The Biggest True Stock-Class Games on the Planet
A weekend-long celebration of classic pump‑style paintball in Weare, New Hampshire — a sport-first event focused on skill, camaraderie, camping and camp‑style events.
Slim's Stocktoberfest: The Biggest True Stock-Class Games on the Planet.
Slim’s Stocktoberfest brings players back to the roots of paintball: pump‑operated, manually cycled markers with horizontal feeds and single 12‑gram CO2 power. Framed as the largest true stock‑class games, the event mixes competitive woodsball and flag‑capture formats with campground camaraderie, a swap meet, a major raffle and on‑site food trucks for a deliberately social weekend.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
True Stock‑Class Competition
Games are strictly stock‑class: pump/manual guns with horizontal feeds and single 12‑gram CO2, emphasizing snap shooting, movement and skill over bunker camping. Expect flag capture and woodsball formats tailored to that equipment standard.
Campouts, Swap Meets and a Huge Raffle
Beyond the fields, the weekend centers on community: players camp out the night before, browse a dedicated swap meet, and gather for a large raffle, all capped by on‑site food trucks to keep everyone fueled between games.
Bring Your Own Pump — Rentals Available
The event is BYOP (bring your own pump), with rental equipment now available on site and upgraded paint offered for purchase, enabling players without vintage gear to participate.

What the Weekend Feels Like
The tempo alternates between short, intense bursts on the woodsball fields — sprinting, snapping and snipe exchanges — and long stretches of social exchange at camp: trading gear at the swap meet, lining up for the raffle, and refueling from food trucks. The emphasis is squarely on sportsmanship and the skill set required by true stock‑class play.
