First Visit to our Field??

( Click on each Section Title to Open/Close that Section )

1. We operate a Paintball Field. ♦ Here you can play the game of Paintball Safely & Legally. We run games Saturdays & Sundays all year in any weather. We are closed some Major Holidays. We are close on Christmas, Christmas Eve, and Thanksgiving Day.

2. We operate a Paintball Store. ♦ We carry a large selection of Paintball Guns, Equipment & Supplies. Our store is open Wednesday - Friday (10am-6pm), Saturday (10am-8pm), and Sunday (11am-6pm).
♦ We fill Co2 Tanks. Most Co2 Tanks must be retested every 5 years. All Co2 tanks require a Complete & Readable Warning Label (DOT Regulations) for us to fill them. The Warning Label can not have any stickers, tape, paint or other labels covering any part of it.
♦ We also do Repairs on most Paintball Guns. Most repairs require that you leave the gun overnight. We do not do repairs on Saturdays or Sundays while we are open. Our main concern is running games on weekends.

3. We are Field Paint Only. ♦ For the purpose of Safety, Washability, & paying our bills, we require that all paintballs used on our field be bought from us and not be over 3 months old.
♦ Old paintballs (3 months+) will harden & can cause injury.

How We Operate

-- Paintball Games --

( Saturday & Sunday Only )

1. We are open, Rain or Shine, All Year, except some Major Holidays. We are close on Christmas, Christmas Eve, and Thanksgiving Day.
♦ We run games in any weather, except HAIL Storms. We also run a Paintball Equipment Store at the same location.

2. We begin Player Sign-In.
♦ As players come to our sign-in counter, we sign them in for the day. This is how we track how many players we have and what guns are being used so we can set up the teams as fairly as possible.
♦ This process continues until we have all the customers interested in playing registered. This process, depending on how many players arrive when we first open, can take from a few minutes to over an hour. We try to get as many players signed in as possible at first to cut down on the number of Safety Briefings we need. The more Briefings there are, the more delay between later games. It is best, if possible, to get to our field as early as possible to get in the first briefing. However, we do as many Safety Briefings as needed for players arriving later in the day.

3. We start Chronographing.
♦ This is the process of checking the speed of players guns so they are within our safety limit of 270 FPS (feet per second). The chronograph is taken to the Chronographing Area usually within minutes of starting sign-in.
♦ Chronographing is done until our initial sign-in is completed.

4. We start our Safety Briefing.
♦ This is when we describe to all the players about Goggle & General Safety, cover the more important rules about play and describe how the Paintball Guns operate. If we have any NEW players, we always do a Safety Briefing before our first games. If there are not any NEW players, we do not.

5. We start Games.
♦ The Referees will call each team by their color (orange or blue). Once that team has assembled, the referees escort that team into the field, to the flag station that team requests. The second team is then called and the process repeats. The teams (orange or blue) are rotated each game from the far end of the field to the near end so each team can see the fields from each end.

6. The Game Ends.
♦ From when players first start getting eliminated from the game, we do cleanup for them if needed. This includes cleaning goggles, guns, & barrels. Once a player is eliminated or the game ends, if they need any cleaning, they should proceed immediately to the store to cut down on delays.
♦ The only delay we have between games is getting the players ready for the next game. If there are several new players signing in, there may be some additional delay for the sign-in and briefing. We ask that all players already registered be patient during this time so we can get the new players into games as soon as possible.

7. At the End Of Day or Players Finished.
♦ When any player is done, and does not want to play any more games, they come back to our sign-in counter to let us know they are done. We sign them out and collect any field equipment they have. All players will have something to turn in. At the very least their Arm Band.

3. Chronographing (Personal Guns Only)
♦ This is the process of checking the speed of players guns so they are within our safety limit of 270 FPS (feet per second). If you are using your own Paintball Gun, you should prepare your gun for test shooting and take it and your Chronographing Slip (orange color) to our Chronographing Area as soon as possible. Please check our Personal Gun Restrictions first to be sure your gun is allowed on our field.

♦ After you have received your Safety Briefing, you can join in the next game that we run. The referees will call each team individually before each game so that team can be escorted into the field.

6. End Of Day - Sign Out
♦ When you are done for the day, you should take any equipment you rented, if any, to our Sign-In Counter with your Membership Card so we can sign you out for the day. If you rented any Camouflage Clothing (BDU's), please change first before signing out so we can collect them at that time.
♦ All players wether renting or not are required to sign out. Every player will have something to sign in (Arm Band). Players signing out is also the only way we can keep the teams equal as far as the number of players on each team.
