DONOTGOHERE! This is a terrible place to go! FIRST I get it that if you are looking to go here you probably do not play regularly and that is completely normal and ok! I will explain to you why this is a terrible location and a beyond bad company who is killing the sport. FIRST what really really bothers me! The paint they sell is called Inka, you are able to purchase this online for $ 50 for a case(2000 rounds) and this company charges $ 100 for half a case(1000 rounds)!!! Considering they are buying this paint in bulk at a discounted cost!!! In you go to any other facility, for example young guns, you get actual high grade custom paint at cost! Next they claim they have Hollywood sets or some cap, ugh their fields suck! Their staff have no clue what they are doing either! They are not friendly to regular players at all. I am sorry, I rarely hate on any one location but in the ACTUAL paintball community this place is complete garbage crap killing all actual good paintball locations! They offer all these«deals» and they make what they are offering sound really good but for the love of god they are not, if you want a good paintball experience I would rather you call me, I’ll lend you my $ 1000 paintball marker and I will take you paintballin and show you what the sport is really like!

I would rate 0⁄5 if possible. My family and I attended an event at this range on May 26th, 2014. We were assured our team would only play against each other as we had some new and young players, and pre-payed for 20 players, all of which showed up. Sadly, they had majorly over-booked their facilities, 220 players spread over 3 mid to small fields and one moderate sized one. They also mashed our 20 person group in with another 20 person group, who were shot-gunning beers in the parking lot between rounds and consistently shooting people on the same team in the back. The Field Rangers had very little experience with implementing game rules, and a lack of experience in game types and teams start-off spacing. Not only did this event cost our group hundreds of dollars, but a number of people were moderately hurt with close range friendly fire. After the second game we questioned our situation, being that we had booked months in advance and though perhaps we could reschedule, however there is NO refunds policy, no matter what the reason. In my opinion, this establishment is an embarrassment to International Paintball Group, and creates a bad image for paintball companies in general. I will NEVER be returning to this facility, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

I’m not sure how to rate this company. I bought the«SALE» ticket book from the mall — $ 99 for two books. They offered me a single book for $ 99 but when I declined, they pulled the olé«I need to make quota so I’ll throw in another if you get it now». The tickets give you ten«Free games» valued at $ 25 per game. When you get there you have to purchase the first 100 balls for $ 12.99. I don’t think this is bad, although the paint was more expensive then competitors. Four of us played for a total of $ 165.20. We purchased 1200 painballs total and 4 pairs of Delta Force gloves($ 7/pr) 2 of us had our own equipment. The other two were fully outfitted by Delta Force, including protective vests. At $ 41.30 per person, I thought it worked out to a good price. Well organized, we called and got a call center(All Aussies/New Zealanders on the phones?) and booked to get an email and phone call reminder. It was well organized. We did get a last minute change from them in time from 9−4pm to 12−4pm, although the time we were their was ample. We started a few minutes late as we were waiting for another group who were running behind. When we went in, our group were split up with the other groups. I wasn’t sure how to feel about this as I have joined other groups before with negative results, but it was either the other groups were good people or because of the overall organization it took away problems, but we enjoyed the people! The rules vary in that the safety area ISN’T aloud guns with gas bottles attached to come into it at all. All guns, rentals and owned alike are left in a covered shed. Because we were all one group they seemed safe and I felt better that no dummies forgot plugs or are waving their guns around — or worse, some fields-rhymes with young ones, often don’t have field marshals in the safety areas and some guys are shooting in the area! Other rules are — Shots to the head don’t count as a kill, no mercy kill, but no shooting within 10 feet, no blind shooting and absolutely NO removal of your mask outside the safety area. What makes that last rules different is that the safety area is at the entrance of the field and too far to walk after you get shot. You are leaving your mask on for up to 30 minutes without reprieve. This is a negative but worth the safety. The Zombie and tank field were great! Speedball sucked as it is all made up of barrels stacked pyramid style and in line. I’m not a big speedballer anyway so the four games on that field were too much for me. The field lacks a store so you had better come prepared. So why 3 stars? Losers: –I’m not a big fan of the«hustle» regarding buying the coupon books for what ends up being not as good a deal as advertised. –The manager was from New Zealand and they had a construction crew coming from Australia to build 2 new fields. The company is owned by a company out of the UK but Aussies run it. I don’t like that my money is leaving the local economy. –Their were only three fields. Although two more will be built early this summer. –The Paint was considerably more expensive then the competition.(Likely to make up for the bargain coupon books, but that’s not really acceptable) Winners; –The manager. Very personable, hard working and well organized. He had a good staff and everything was well run. Thx Clint! –The terrain is second to none. Built in a creek ravine, this is one of the highest potential gaming zones I have seen. –Two field marshals meant we were following rules and safe. The best part? They worked. They didn’t sit together and talk, they worked hard, solved problems and made sure we enjoyed it. Summarizing, I will be back to use up my coupons, but it isn’t the conclusion in my quest to find the perfect field.

For the love of god DONOTBUYANYVOUCHERSFROMTHESEGUYS!!! I picked up 3 books in January that were apparently worth 900 that included equipment and some paintballs but this was a total lie!!! The course wasn’t even open yet!!! And these 25 $ Tickets, That I have like 50 of, DONOT get you playing paint ball, unless you want to get on the course with only a gun. It’s actually $ 13.50 for an «Administration fee» and that 13.50 will give you 100 paintballs, and it’s $ 15.00 for every additional 100!!! Thats 50% more than the competition, which we will call umm I don’t know, Young… Lungs. I called IPG up and yeah no course open, you have to pay out the who-ha, and it’s totally expensive. Further more I did a little digging, and it turns out they are well known for being a scam… check out this video and please please avoid. Go to youtube
