Was cruising through the field section of PBR and saw a local place that I hadn't noticed before. Thing is when you went to the website it wasn't even a field. It's a sports shop that has a paintball section in it. I was like WTF? There was a section on the website that had a bunch of pics of players on a field so I figured maybe they had it in back of the store or something -
I needed a couple of parts for my Tippy that I hadn't been able to find locally and it said they had a lot of Tippy stuff there so I took a trip by to see what it was about. When I got there it had a residential area in the back so my thoughts of a field vanished and once again thought, WTF? -
Went inside and they had a small section of the store with paintball supplies. They even sell my favs Evil paint at a decent price. I BS'd with the guy and there were about 6 other people there looking at PB stuff as well. Everybody seemed to know each other and were pretty friendly to me. As I was checking out, I asked the guy about the pics on the website because I have been to all of the local fields here and didn't recognize this one at all. He said they had a renegade field about a mile from there in a local park. They all met there on weekends and usually have about 40 people there on Sundays. He gave me some directions and said to common out this weekend -
I went out to the location today and envisioned some run down abandoned wooded park but when I got there it was a well kept city park that has tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields and such. In the back portion there is about a 10 acre wooded area and there was a bunch of cars parked on the outskirts. I walked a trail and followed the noise. There were a bunch of people there getting ready for the next game. They bring all their own equipment including air and paint. The field had a bunch if bunkers made of pallets, tires, plywood, carpet, ect. The place looked well broken in so it seems that there is no prob with local authorities about using this property for play. Everybody seemed close knit and friendly. They chronograph the markers at 300fps max and allow full auto, ramping and the lot. All of the fields I used back in Michigan allowed all this as well but locals here don’t. I don’t need all that but I really don’t mind others using that crap if they want to -
Well long story short, I’m gonna try this place next Sunday and see what of it. I reffed a few games today and everybody seems pretty responsible. There are 2 blinded areas as a safe area, it’s organized and seems like a good dealio. The field I normally use takes a good hour plus to get there and just added a BYOP cost of $10 so it’s now $25 to play there. This place is organized, about 20 minutes from where I live and all I need to do is supply my own paint and air. I have all that so imma go for this and see what happens -
Anybody else have a field similar to this that they use. I’m not much on renegade fields because safety and responsible play doesn’t seem priority. This place on the other hand seems quite the exception to the norm -
