Legendary fields, and helpful service. Anyone renting will have an amazing time. Unfortunately they don't offer anything for folks who want to practice speedball/airball and get into leagues or teams. You're either already on a team in private practice, or you're in the woods with rentals. I was told that if I was interested in practicing regularly and looking for teams, I should go to a different place (Blast Camp), which kinda sucks considering they have 20 fields here, you'd think they'd have the capacity for it. Beautiful place and wonderful people, but an odd air of eliteness against anyone newer trying to get into the sport competitively. No wonder the sport can't catch a break.

I used to play here wayyyy back in like 2004-2006 and just got back into paintball again. I've got to say, I'm impressed they have kept the spirit of this place alive for so long. They seem to have made some small upgrades, too. It was good to see one of the OG paintball fields in the area still doing well.

The games were fairly large. Most of the time it was probably anywhere between 40-55 people split into two teams. Open games were called often and there was a good 10 minute wait or so after each game finished. I liked the pacing and think they do a good job on that.

The refs were very helpful and patient. I heard them a few times helping people with their markers when they had trouble and they have good attitudes.

Kind of a mixed bag with the customers here. Most of my interactions were positive. A select few were negative. One thing that really bugged me was there were multiple rental players who just didn't understand the concept of keeping their masks on. They would be standing off to the side after being eliminated and just having full on conversations with their masks completely off. The refs were doing alright telling them to put them back on, but that needs to be enforced more strictly because the same people just kept doing it even after the ref would speak to them. Sets a really bad precedent for kids who see that and think it's ok. I think that's the kind of thing that needs to be an instant penalty (sit out for a game or something, and if repeated just kick them out).

It's a little less competitive than I remember (lots of rentals, not too many advanced players) but who knows, maybe I came on an off day for that. Would have been nice to have a couple smaller games with just advanced players but not really a big deal.

All in all, I really had a great time here after being away for a while and I hope they keep doing well. I'll definitely be coming back here and there when I find the time.

I took my family for the first time. Everyone was friendly and very informative. The other patrons were friendly as well. I had a very fun time, but I’ll leave this activity to the advanced groups.
