Extreme Paintball

Held a bachelor party battle here last weekend for my brother. We had a private party of 19 guys, and I have to say it was an absolute blast. Everyone had an awesome time and the staff was very professional. Our refs name was mike and he really helped make games fair and fun. Overall I really enjoyed the organization and planning of the event the crew there helped me with, as well as the fun filled day of paintball. Only knock is that the paint was a bit on the expensive side compared to other fields I’ve been to, but not too bad.

I played here every weekend last year! And opening day is this weekend, the best place in Connecticut to play paintball, I say that because it’s the least expensive, all good fields, I’ve had plenty of great times here and will continue to be a regular until I move to Florida! Staff is fair and don’t pick (favorites) the guy who wrote the review under me about the person car being stolen, happened one time, and LIKE ANY PAINTBALL PLACE, keep your stuff close and secure. People steal any where you go so be mindful. Many people come all ages all genders. Lots of fun, great workout. We have a squad there all the time #GMI COME PLAY WITH US!!!

Good location, nice place in the woods… Everything is a little expensive and the staff was mediocre, they seemed like they had little experience and didn’t enjoy their job.
While I was there a kids car got stolen, so if you come here make sure you lock everything up!

My family went as a group of 4. My children are 12 and 19. This was my first trip playing paintball.
After check in we were told to wait at a table to get instructions and guns. A large group of teens joined us along with a 2 group. We were introduced to Joe, our ref, and he went over how the guns worked. We took our gear to a nearby tables to get set up. While we were doing this another man came over and said that he would be our ref. At first I though ok now I know what both of them look like.
The large group of teens started off towards the field with Joe so I hurried my familky to catch up. That’s when the other ref called us back to say that we were going in a different group. What he didn’t say is that we were going with the competition team, advance level players.
We waited for everyone to get their air and left for the field. We had a quick stop to check that all the guns fired (as far as I could tell no one checked the speed of the guns that were brought in by the team). We were then sent to the «tank» field.
The field has several tank shaped plywood structures. You can’t stand on them or get them with the exception of a wooden hull that is mostly just a frame. It is also set in the side of a steep hill. The ref explained to the other ref how to do his job (I guess it was his first day) and then «split» us into two teams. The competition team of 7 was allowed to stay together while we were grouped with another group of 4 who also had rented guns. We were then given bright orange plastic bands to tie to our arms so that we would know what team we were on.
The first game went ok. The second game a small group of new players were added to the other team. I was hit so hard in the chest that I fell backwards. That didn’t stop the game though, nor the shooting. After I was down I was shot again in the arm.
The third game added more people to the other side, and they brought the heavy artillery and underhanded tactics. After declaring himself out and walking towards the dead area my husband was shot in the back of the neck. This also did not stop the game nor did the refs call anything for the infraction.
The force of the other teams guns caused the paintball to leave marks in the dirt around me but my gun couldn’t shoot even ½ the distance of theirs. We suspect that they were using some other type of gas in their canisters rather than the air we got from the rental. How else could their guns shoot twice the distance that ours could?
I was eventually shot 5 times in the chest. 3 after I called out and then another round hit my hand causing my finger to swell. This still did not stop the game even though I walked off in tears and unable to breathe.
The refs mostly stood in the entrance of the zone or the middle of the field between the two sides. The only time they made a comment about rules was when a guy raised his mask to wipe it down because he couldn’t see out of it.
If you are not part of an organized, competition level team, or purchasing a party package where you will have the entire field for just your group then it’s not worth going. They make no attempt to enforce any rule other than keep your head gear on.
