Cons: Very unsafe! I have been playing ball since 89. This has been my worst experience in Paintball ever. Here is the scenario. Playing speedball, we started to illiminate the opponents....I rushed one opponent who at the time (was out of air and balls), but preferred to stay on the field. As I rushed him, I marked him a couple of times, as I had no idea if he was out or not. At that time another opponent shot me. As I was walking off the field, one of the members of the opposite team whom had been out already...waited until I was less then 3 feet away pointed his marker at my mask and shot me 3 times in the face. Luckily my friend was watching and got in this other guys face. I was very upset. The ref on hand(owners son) ignored it, and threated me after I stated to the offender that I was gonna shove my marker up his arse. At this time 6 of us players walked away from the field, never to return again. At any other field this person would have been kicked off the field for good for gross negligance. I'm glad I didn't flip up my mask. Not only this but NO markers were chronoed on or off the field. Once again a safety issue. The fields require alot of uphill downhill walking. The field also have a bad way to carry supplies to further fields...resulting in either having no air or no paint after the small amount that they bring with them runs out. So do yourself a favor and support the other fields around that promote fun and safety and stay away from this field!
No food or drink. No bathrooms.
If you want refs don't go here. The one ref we had seemed not to be a ref but a spectator at best.

And what is your solution to the refs not doing their job? I've seen a lot of swearing over the years, it happens. What shouldn't happen is a ref ignoring dangerous behavior.
