Tippmann Launches Gryphon Brand Targeted to New Players
‘Starter Kit’ featuring .68 Caliber Gryphon Marker, Goggles, and Tank will Retail for Under $100BUFFALO GROVE, IL (November 1, 2010) – Three years ago, Tippmann Sports launched the U.S. Army Paintball brand, which provided players at all experience levels with a true military look right out-of-the-box at a great value. This brand quickly became a big success and is now one of the most popular brands in paintball. Due in part to the strong response to its US Army Paintball products – and the reality that there are few good marker options available for less than $100 – Tippmann is once again launching an exciting new marker brand: introducing Gryphon™ Paintball. The Gryphon marker is targeted to new paintball players and will be sold as part of a ‘Starter Kit,’ which will include the marker, goggles, 200-round hopper, and a tank – all for less than $100.
