| Review: |
this is a great place. I never got to meat bill but the new owner mike is a great guy, the first time I went there he helped me out showing me around and telling me about the new woods ball feild and I had a problem with my gun and he got it fixed right away. the people that work there are great. on the x ball field it is ussually teams playing but all the people not on teams feel like they can not go play on it or at least I did until all of them came over and invited us to come play with them on it. the only thing that could be improved is the woods ball field it needs a few more bunkers and covers but besides that its a great place |

| Review: |
This was the first time we had visited the field. We really enjoyed some of the fields more than others. The only complaint was that there was trash everywhere, and the playing areas as well as the entire location was not very clean. The other thing that was very dissapointing was that at start of play, we had our CO2 tanks filled, or so we thought. Multiple times, we ran out of air, becuase the tanks were not geting filled all the way. It was frustrating to run out of air in the middle of a game, and risk my other team members getting hit, and out becuase i was suppose to protect them, yet I ran out of air. We stayed on the fields about 4 hours, and after the last hour of frustration, we gave up and went home. The players that came with us, that had thier tanks already filled form somewhere else, had no problems. When I asked the staff to completely fill my tank, the look I recieved was not very friendly, and they insisted they had filled the tanks.
Other than this issue, we felt that Mike was great, very nice and very workable, with equipment and prices. The refs were also great! We know in the future now what to expect. |

I have played at this field long enough to know the former owner, and the new one. So, to all those interested the field is under new ownership and is now known as Triad Paintball. The new owner is an overly nice guy. He is passionate about paintball and making his field one of the best. His prices are even better and the condition of the fields has improved. Along with the addition of a woods field soon, he has further improvements on the way. Playing at this field has become such a pleasure that I no longer desire to play at any others. The refs are experienced and well trained. Prices are great. The teams that practice and play there are great to play with. The field has a nice attitude and is patient and willing to help any new-comers to the game.
The field has 1-Xball, 1-PSP type, 1-Hyperball, with a woods field on the way, along with a NPPL field I believe. Also they have the best compressor I have ever seen for paintball. A diesel operated compressor that has to be reduced to 4500#. So air is never in short supply. They always have enough CO2 on board, so no worries there. There is adequate cover and shade. Above all the people are great.
For prices one would have to contact the field. But they are very affordable and fair.
Overall this field is one of the best in north-east FL if you love speed ball.| Last edited on Saturday, December 31st, 2005 at 2:17 pm PST |

Well, i went there for a day cuz i met some people online who were pretty nice and had a team based there,it was a pretty fun day.Not that many games were played due to the rain a couple hours after i got there but several were played.The people were very friendly, id had some problems with my gun and they immediately came over to help me out. The prices were fair, 55 for a case of paint,byop is allowed but for 10 bux, i think that is still very resonable.A good number of people turned up so we could have full games and there were plenty of fields for all of us.There was an x-ball field,an airball field, and a hyperball field.Im pretty sure there was a woodsball field in the making too.The fields could have been a little better kept but when a tournament rolls around they definately make the field look alot nicer,and the prize money is great,several teams show up.This field is probably anyhting the average pballer will ever need.I give this field a 10.| Last edited on Thursday, July 28th, 2005 at 10:52 am PST |

| Review: |
I never actually played on this field so I hope its still ok if I make a review. The only thing you get from actually playing on the field is you would get to meet the people there it wouldn't change the fields setup.
I live in Kentucky and my family has a vacation home about 70 miles from this field so me and two of my friends came down to visit and play at this field. We arrived on a Saturday morning and it was lightly raining off and on while we where waiting for them to open. We waited almost forty min and no one showed up. We then called the proshop I guess, and they laughed at us and said the field was closed from the rain so we never got to play on the field.
The air bunkers weren't blown up very well in the air and x ball fields and the ground on the field was mostly dirt and was very muddy. On there web site they said they had two airball and one x ball and one hyperball. When we got there they were one air ball short and I don't think you should advertise anything and then not have it all the time. There were no bathrooms and very few places to sit down or get out of the rain. Almost 1/4 of the netting was down so it would be hard for spectators to be there.
We ended up going to low county paintball that day and had a blast. I would still like to play on wild bills field sometime but I wont have high hopes.
Since I didn't actually play on this field yet don't pay attention to my rating until I play on the field. but so far i would give it a 7 | Last edited on Friday, June 17th, 2005 at 7:52 pm PST |

Now that I have actually been to another field I can rate this one. I think Bill does a good job keeping his fields maintained, and also tries to keep them up to date. I belive his prices are fair, allowing you tor bring your own paint for a fee. I can't wait to see the woods course, hopefully it's as good as the rest. The only problem I've ever had was him running out of compressed air one time, but other than that I give the fields an 8. |

| Review: |
I have player everywhere on the east coast on al levels of tournaments. The fields are nice and that is about it. First off, they are very expensive. They were charging some one 85 dollars for a case of paint field fee and air and the worst part was that was the only paint they had and I saw everyone on the field chopping with it. Maybe it was just a bad batch, but I came back another time and it was the same way. The owner of the field was rude. He got mad a couple of times when he was trying to stack his team against rec guys and lost. Then they screamd and cussed. This was rec play not pratice. I think there is a line between tournament and rec. There is no line here. IF you play rec, be ready to get bunkered and blasted because you will. When the owner is not there, his family runs the field, the good part is that they are nice, the bad part is they have no clue about paintball. Other than have a nice field with air ball, the rest is a big turn off. Ive played at many other fields in shich the fields were not asnice, but the cost and the customer service made the difference. I honestly give this field a 1. |

All American PB: 2 speed ball field (a third being built), 1 theme field, 1 woods course. Good service, good crowd. Personal favorite.
First Coast PB: 4 speedball fields (one in shade), 1 hyperball, 1 woods course (maybe more, I havn't played the woods side yet). BYOP is a plus. A number of tournies are hosted there. Good service.
M.I. PB: 1 airball, 1 hyperball. Mediocre service. I was not impressed with the reffing.
Paintball Brothers: Never been. Talk to owner once on the phone. Seemed like a good joe.
PB Adventures: I haven't been in a while so I can't comment on it's current state. My past expirence there was not so good.
Outlaw field next to Ed White: Good woods field. Lousy speedball field. Get regular play on saturdays and sundays.
Outlaw field at the end of California rd. on the westside: Good woods. Cheaters o'plenty. No chrono. Everyone shoots high and hot. |

| Review: |
Wild Bill's PB has 2 hyperball fields and 1 airball. All the fields are quite large (5-7 man)and very solidly made. They were clean of debris and pretty dry. A little mud here and there but no big deal. All three fields are enclosed in netting and situated in a row never too far from the fill station and paint.
I found the owner, Bill, to be a gentleman. Both knowledgable, pleasent and a strong player.
I have no harsh criticism of the field. For speedball, this is a good place to go. Carnage makes there way out there regularly, along with a number of other teams, on Sunday. They are a decent bunch of guys to play against or with (just don' wipe).
I give it a 9 until I see the woods field. A good woods/fort/senerio type of thing would be awesome.
I would suggest putting them in your regular rotation of fields. |
