Okoboji Paintball, great airball field/no woodsball. Action Jacks, mainly woodsball only, small indoor airball field.
Review:
Great field here. Games move quickly. Lots of different fields w/ plenty to offer. Hyperball field has been moved to make way for a Airball field up the opposite weekends of Velocity, so there is always airball to be played in IAC/Cedar Rapids area.
Town field and a fort are good too, but games can run a little long for someone like me who likes hyper and airball much better.
**Pros**
The owners, Bill and Tanya, are very helpful. Bill gets out a plays quite a bit, which can be a real asset to new players. They will do anything to accommodate new players. They run separate smaller games if you want to play by yourself or will get you into the mix w/ everyone. Teams are kept pretty fair.
Paint - Paint is much cheaper than other places. When they have Evil in stock its only $60 for a case. I've paid as much as $75 for stinger!
People - As a noob to the sport, I'm always waiting for some players to be jerks, but it has yet to happen. Even the guys there on a team are willing to help you out. I'm always surprised at how decent people are, even to players like me who have only played a handful of times.
Games - This used to be a con actually, b/c I liked the hyperball and airball much better than anything else and there wasn't many games played on the hyperball field. I found out if I just asked people if they want to play and hyperball we go.
**Cons**
Nothing bad to say about the place. Its nice that it is really run like a business. They get as many games as possible in. I know for most ppl I talk to, lag in between games is the biggest gripe. There is some lag at the start of the day, when fewer ppl are there. An hour or so after open it gets going quickly.
The only thing I don't like about the field is that its not closer to me. Hard to improve on that. **Note to Bill - open up a field in IAC area!!**
