Indian Creek Designs (ICD) is back into paintball

















They've been posting a good amount of paintball hype in the last 6 months. They even came out with milled ICD grips in October-ish.



Another press release from ICD:

As many who follow us on social media and PbNation are aware, ICD has chosen to again become more deeply involved in the paintball industry. This decision was not arrived at quickly, nor without some deep thoughts regarding the current and past state of the industry. We understand that the paintball industry has changed from where it was when we stepped back from it, and we would like to be a part of a renaissance in the sport that we have dedicated so much of our existence to.



For those unfamiliar with us, 2016 is our 30th year in paintball, and while we have not been extremely active in the past several years we have not turned a blind eye to the sport which has brought us so much joy. Aside from offering replacement parts and rebuild and o-ring kits for our legacy markers we have paid attention to the offerings from our fellow manufacturers and have seen and heard about triumphs and some things that didn't fare quite as well. We watched and listened and learned, and thought often of stepping back into the light. The earlier days of paintball were so much fun. There was a sense of accomplishment from innovating, and a camaraderie within the industry.



We weren't so naive to think that the industry wouldn't grow or that it wouldn't mature to a point where some part of that wonderful personality it had would die off. Rather than have our passion become lowered by changes in the direction of the industry and some of the strong corporate voices that emerged we decided to take a step back and assess how and why we wanted to remain involved, and at what level. We have determined that level, and the how and the why. Here we are.



There are two things that we at ICD want to ensure stay relevant in paintball. The first is that FUN needs to be present in all things paintball. It should bring joy to those who participate. When they are behind the gun they aren't digging a ditch or typing a term paper or talking to their boss. Those things aren't fun. Paintball should be FUN.



The second of the two things we hope to keep relevant in paintball is INTEGRITY. Integrity as defined by Webster is "the firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values". The morality part is simple, being true to others. Don't take credit for anything you did not do, treat others with respect, and never get too big that you cannot communicate with your customers. Artistic integrity is being true to yourself. We believe every tool path and every machine pass are like brush strokes on a painting. They hold in them the soul of their creator in the same way the brush strokes of Da Vinci or Rembrandt do. While we have no illusions about being "old Masters", we will maintain our own integrity and let our brush strokes shine. We understand our ICD markers may not be for everyone, and we hope those who may not prefer them enjoy whatever it is they shoot.



We are thankful for the outpouring of support we have received thus far and we can only add that we look forward to having a lot more fun, with integrity, over the coming years. Quote: Originally Posted by ICD Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time.



There has been much speculation about why and when we are emerging from the shadows and coming back into a more active role in the Paintball industry. We could go into a lengthy discussion, but all of that is unnecessary to share. You simply need to know we are here to have fun, to provide some alternative choices to paintball players, and to play a part in what we feel will be a renaissance in the sport.



There has also been a huge amount of conjecture about what kind of marker we would debut first. For us it was a simple choice, a return to our roots and an homage to the old school days when we started way back in 1986. While our return seemingly coincides with other significant dates that affect the industry those are just dates on a calendar that have now gone by. We are simply looking forward to bringing our ideas and integrity mixed with a huge dose of fun back into this awesome sport.



Enough talk, let's do this...



Indian Creek Design, Inc (ICD) proudly presents to you the "PRP", our 30th Anniversary Marker



The PRP is a Nelson based poppet valve equipped Pump operated marker, with auto-trigger capability. It features a gas through grip frame, fall-away hinged receiver with tool-less field strip, toggle on/off/de-gas ASA, "cocker" threaded barrel, and ICD logo billet grips.

The hype REALLY stepped up when the patents were dropped, and now we have this.
