Comments on St. Spyder's Review

St. Spyder Tuesday, June 28th, 2005 Period of Field Use: 3 months Last There: N/A Paintball Experience: 6 months Other Fields in the Area: Hollister, waterford bear creek santa clara Review: I've been there only about 3 times. I had a great time. The admission is only $15, and $5 all day Air, or $5 20oz CO2. They have great people there. They separate beginners from advanced, which is good since im beginner. They have a few speed-ball fields and a rec ball. Just my opinion, but rec ball seems the funnest. When i went in the winter and spring there were huge puddles around most of the bunkers. And the parking lot was completely flooded, we could barely get our truck out of there, and we were wet up to our ankles. Last time i went it was all dry, which is a lot funner. They usually have big groups of around 12 people on each team in speed-ball, which is like 24 total, which i think is too much. The breaks in between are kinda long, but i like it because i strip my gun and clean it, and I have time to rest. The chrono is right next to the fields and they have 2 of them. You can get to them easy and they work fine. The refs are another story. Every time i go there they are just little kids. Most of the time they are talking to anyone its in a questioning or concerned voice like they don't know what there doing. I got someone on there hopper with bright yellow paint, and it took a min just to get the ref to do a check, and then he didn't even call him out. I noticed at the field and at the store that they have fly-er's stating if you want to be a ref you need 6 months experience and be 15 or older, and you get some free balls or something similar. Some of those kids most definitely were not 15 or older. But what mattered was I had a great time and the people who work there were real nice. They also have rentals, like tippmans and some spyders. I will give this field an 8, because its great. Last edited on Monday, July 18th, 2005 at 2:19 pm PST
