I have been playing at OSG for over 20 years! no kidding, i was there as a kid in '87, armed with my new splatmaster, on their 1 field. well a lot has changed since then, but one thing that has stayed the same is the great job OSG does! I had taken a few years off from paintball and just a few months ago came back, and fell in love all over again (thanks, in part, to Dave and his crew at OSG) even though there are closer fields, and sometimes cheaper fields, driving an hour is well worth it. Dave always treats me and my guys like VIP's, and the refs are some of the best I have ever seen. they keep us moving from field to field, and if we reall y like where we are, we can stay on the field as long as we want. and speaking of fields! WOW! what a variety! the urban town is my favorite, but we usually jump to western town and castle too. great terrain, solid bunkers and perfect balance, you can easily tell Dave and his team spend a lot of time setting up and building these to keep the action fair, fast and fun! i could give you dozens of stories of how the guys at OSG went above and beyond to make our time there awesome!
i just want everyone to know that if they want the best, the best fields, best variety, best service, best owner (youre the man dave!) then make the drive to OSG, simply put, there is NO better place to play in new england!
feel free to email me for any further questions about my time at OSG. |

Osg is by far the best field that i have played at. The refs are very professional and bust there asses to make sure everybody is having a good time. You get what you pay for so thats a plus. Also they have multi fields you can play on so you won't get bored like you will at some other field. Hamburger hill is one of my top favorites so far. Nothing like a challenge. |

This is New Hampshire's best field, in terms of both field quality and customer service. The place is always well staffed by friendly, knowledgeable refs and other staff who actually seem to care about their customers.
I've played a reasonable amount of paintball in New England, both indoor and outdoor, and OSG is my new field of choice. This is a pretty big commitment, since I am only 20 minutes from Canobie PB, and almost 2 hours from OSG. The thing is, OSG actually puts in some time and effort into creating a paintball experience (read: scenario games) which engages and entertains their clients. I'd gotten awfully used to dealing with surly, unfriendly refs at some of the above fields, sitting in the woods for 30-45 minutes waiting, for lack of a better term, the field staff to get their act together and start a match. I've slogged up and down hill and dale to recycle points foolishly located in the most obscure locations and been brushed off when I warned staff about players cranking velocity or going full 20 BPS at point blank. None of these things have happened at OSG. They actually plan their games, they keep the day rolling, and you get out there and do what you drove two hours to do: run around in the woods, defend forts (theirs is the BEST in NE), conduct room-clearing urban combat, run missions to retrieve documents or dynamite or whatever, and generally come home exhausted and happy.
If you are into paintball the way it was meant to be played, come to OSG. |

OSG is, overall a good park. they have a cool castle and their urban town is very unique. i don't like that you have to chronograph different speeds for many of the fields, i find that this just takes time out of your playing time.
the staff is good but some of them don't seem to care about safety as much as i think they should. my last time there a ref yelled at me for shooting someone who was "too close". i do look experienced when i show up at a field but even my first time at the field i was never given a safety speech. for all they know that could have been my first time.
probably my biggest issue with the field is location. i live in Concord and it is just too far away. with gas prices the way they are currently it costs a lot of money to get there. It's also hard to find.. the basic idea is you get on this dirt road and keep going until you think you are lost.. then go another 4 or 5 miles. it's on your left.
if it wasn't such a hassle to get to i would probably go more but until gas prices go down or i win a free Hybrid i don't think i can see my self going back to OSG any time soon. |

Directions
to the Field: |
From lakes Region area- Go to Alton at the very southern end of Lake Winnpesauke and go though the downtown area (not near the lake if coming from Laconia/Meredith take a left with the road then a right.) Once you go straight though the circle the route is 11 towards Portsmouth. Continue on until you see a diner on the right. Then take the road next to it on the right. The field is on the right about 8 miles (I know it sounds crazy but its true.)
If coming from the Portsmouth area- follow route 16/spaulding turnpike North to Exit 13 (theres to tolls) There is a HUGE sign that says Lake Winnipesauke right before it) Once off the turnpike take a right onto route 11 and follow the road until you see the diner on the left. Take the road on the left and follow for 8 miles.
Because it is a lot more complicated to get to from the Concord/Manchester area I am not gonna list but if anyone wants to have them just reply to it and I will let you know and E-mail is jjamessorbie@hotmail.com me. I will be happy to. |

OSG is the first field I ever played on. It is in the middle of nowhere but it is worth it. All the fields are open (except when it rains the urban and speedball fields are closed because they are at the bottom of a hill)The paint is expensive but thery are good paintballs. The staff is always nice and sometimes will play too. They have a good amount of diffrent types of fiels but all except are in the woods except Speedball and urbantown which are in a field. I have never gone where there was not at least 20 people even when raining. They do have a little stand where you can buy food and tickets. But nothing really huge. Also if you dont have cash on you they do take credit cards. Overall it is the best field in the state and is 100% worth it. 10/10| Last edited on Saturday, January 5th, 2008 at 3:21 pm PST |

I played at three of the OSG fields - Hamburger Hill, Castle, and Urban. All three were good but different. Hamburger Hill is basically a game where one team tries to move up a steep hill while another team guards the flag at the top of the hill. Castle is an attack and defend game. The castle itself is cool and has plenty of room on the inside, allowing both teams to get creative in their strategies. Urban was my favorite field. It allows for closer gunfights and is kind of like speedball.
The refs at the field were good. They were always making sure that everyone was having a good time playing. They ran the games well and there was very little downtime between games (more playing time). I would highly recommend checking out this field. It has a variety of fields for everyone's tastes. |

Safety - OSG Paintball stresses safety among new players. All new players are given the rules of the field, and they are explained in a very simple down to earth way.
Fields - OSG Paintball has multiple fields. Including the new sponsored Castle map. It has good woods ball courses, along with some nice urban style courses. Personally Western Town is my favorite, next to Castle. They have a new field, hamburger hill, that is quite amazing.
Hours of Operation - Weekdays have to be reserved, but weekends are open till 4:00 p.m.
Prices - Case of 2k: $70
All Day Air: $10
Average Entrance Cost: $30
Pro Shop - Its a small pro shop, where theres not a lot of gear it has all the stuff you'll need to play on their course. I wouldn't go there to shop, but i lost my barrel condom and I bought one for $5, which i didn't think was to bad for a on site shop.
Refs - Refs are hired as they have plenty of experience and most of them are pretty cool. Some of them are real good about keeping rules, but others just don't feel like getting shot while enforcing rules. They could do a little bit better on safety and rules but overall its enjoyable.
Food - The food is pretty good, a little expensive, but its pretty good food.| Last edited on Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 at 8:38 am PST |

AG Paintball- Nowhere near as good as OSG.
Boston Paintball (Indoor)- A great field with an awesome proshop right next to it. Great staff. Only one field, although it is very well set up. It's an hour + 1/2 drive from where I live. Probably my 2nd favorite field. (1st being OSG)
PB Madness (Indoor)- I went there once for an XSV Clinic. Aimed more at speedball players plus it's all the way in CT! Not run nearly as well as Boston PB or OSG and wicked high Paint prices. |

I love this field. I pretty much think of it as my home away from home. The staff are some of the best of New England. The prices are pretty good. For $30 on a BYOP Day, you can buy all-day admission, all day air, and still have $10 left over for food (which is also priced very well). The reffing staff care about safety and make sure everybody chronos their marker to the right velocity and has their goggles on during play and their barrel bags on after. They have fields for woodsballers and speedballers. The fields are kept very well maintained and are very well set-up. All in all, this is the best field I've played at yet, and I expect to find no other field like it.

I love this place. they run it real well. the staff is very helpful and saftey is their main goal. the refs always give the first time OSG player the nessicarry saftey rules. the prices arent that bad either with food being from 1-3 dollars. the entrance isnt bad at all 10 for all day and 10 all day air that is awsome. they sell paint for about 70 bucks which is a lil high but hey its worth it to play the fields. They have BYOPs sunday at the end of the month i ussualy only go to those cuz i cant afford field paint. they have several nice fields. they have the urban town a city feel with cars and buildings, western town a rustic western feeling with the modern building of the western times like church, hotel, etc, they have the newly re-done castle which is huge now but a pain to be on the attackers as i once found out. they have two woodsball fields and a village with bridges and buildings, they also have a sup air fields for those who love quick games. all in all i would give OSG an 11 out of 10 |
