Review:
I'll expand on this review when I actually play the field. I stopped by after taking delivery of my new Invert Mini. It was pouring down rain all day so I called first. Manager David answered and assured me that he would be there all day. Score 1 for customer focus. I arrived and David walked me through the finer points of my new gun and answered my questions about the field and store. His customer service was exemplary. He took me out to the shooting range in the pouring rain and helped me load and chrono my gun. I didn't have a chance to play, but I got a good look around and a few pictures. First of all, the pro shop is AMAZING. It looks like a typical apartment complex clubhouse from the outside, and inside it is fully stocked and neat as a pin. Air fills were 3000 psi courtesy of a compressor. Paint was reasonably priced. Several "need to have" items like squeegies and masks were available for sale as well as some minor merchandise. Unfortunately, the single field is small, too small for my tastes. It's an airball field with probably 20 bunkers, very close in. David states that the chrono limit is 280, and I'm sure that's a good thing. I'm a woods ball guy but I know my way around and airball field and I will most certainly be back to sample game play and flesh out this review. However, based on what I saw on 1/16/10, this field sets the standard in the Pensacola area.

Dispute: first off the pro shop is the farthest thing from anything acceptable! it MAYBE has a total of 20 items in it. hes selling gloves from 2007 still and for about 15$ more than you can get them online! His prices are WAY overpriced not even close to being reasonable and he definitly has no updated product. He'll tell you JT is top of the line! He tried to get me to believe JT is better than Dye. His name is Rod. the owner/manager of the joint. a complete scum ball
I never tried to buy anything and only said they have "need to have" items. As far as I know, there is NO paintball pro shop in Pensacola, so anything is an improvement. I do know that the "tech support" offered is hit and miss. David was able to help me tune my Mini, but a friend of mine who visited with a broken gun was sold some macroline that was inadequate for the repair--they didn't even offer to try to fix the gun (which they couldn't have done with that macroline anyway). I don't know if I'd take my gun there for service, and for sales--check Action Village.
