Paintball Extreme is a great indoor. Its up there with Atomix, UPC and Mayhem for cleanliness. When you come in to play, they field is spotless, bunkers and walls. The field has nice turf that works excellent for sliding. The field is changed around every time that i play there so its always new and great for different practice on different things. Paintball Extreme is byop so that is nice for shooting out the crap you have laying around.
Paintball Extreme gets a definate 10 for how clean it is, after open play there isnt a single paintball on the field floor, windows or bunkers. There is also tons of arcade games for in between games or if you need a break from playing.
The proshop is also exellent, they stock every new thing out there, mask, guns, jerseys, etc. They have an entire wall fun of new guns (timmys, protos, cockers, freestyles, tippmanns...) and an entire wall for used stuff that customers want to sell.
Pbx has great paint prices, they range from 30$ to 60$, and its all great paint.
Definetly worth checking out this place it gets an A+ in my book.

I was very Impressed with how clean and organized that Paintball Extreme was. The staff is very helpful (adam and nate) and the games are run smoothly and quick. PBX changes the field around every 2 weeks so there is always a change of atmosphere. The PBX store is very nicely organized and full of great stuff. PBX also has an arcade with many tight games. PBX is also going to be putting up more nets, lights and bunkers. |

| Review: |
My son and I were in the Manistee area for a family function last weekend, before we left(Kalamazoo area) we decided to play Paintball Extreme Arena, and are we glad we did!
This place is excellent!
Extremely clean,everywhere from the store area, to the arcade, to the playing field.
The refs and staff were excellent, along with very attentive and on the ball.
The playing field was well layed out with ample room, and many air bunkers, that I was assured were changed around every 2 weeks. Mixed in with the air bunkers were some block dividing walls that were the right size to hide behind, the sound and splatter when hiding behind these were very intense! Along with those were scattered verticle steel support pipes that made a cool ringing sound when hit with a paintball. It had indoor-outdoor carpet over wood flooring, good grip yet amazing controlled slides while shooting, very cool!There are 2 real army jeeps placed at both starting bunkers also very cool!
There were many viewing windows so bystanders could watch the action, in the areas that they couldn't see from the windows they had video cameras ran to a TV in the viewing area, very cool!
They had a good choice of paint, with good prices on everything! $10.00 field fee, $3.00 67-3000 air fills, no byop charge! Very reasonable!
We had a great time, and will return. |

Wow where do I begin. How about this place rocks , theres really no other way to say it.
what they've got
An arcade.
good rentals.
friendly services.
awesome marker selection to buy from.
The arenas feild
First the arcade, whats better than that, if your waiting for a game and your board, just go play games till everyone's ready. They've got some really cool games to, like a dance machine, air hocky, phose ball, NHL table hockey game, pool, mind you this is still a paintball arena, and they have more but I wont name them all.
Good rentals, Some paintball feilds and arenas have some what disapointing rentals, but not htis one, they'e got all tippmann 98 customs, sturdy, reliable, and very acurate. But wait theres more ( i know cheesey sounding) when you rent you get 500 paintballs all the equipment you need and all day co2.
Friendly service, The owner whos always there (cathy) will make it a point to be on a first name basis with you. And the ref's are pretty good at helping you out with problems and since there also wiked paintballers,(one refs team,owners son, won 4th at tc last tourny) they hand out lots of advice if you want it. And dont forget kiddys advice is prcless especialy from someone who knows what there doing.
Mareker salection, the marker salection, its great they've got everything from tippmann to kingman, auto cocker,smart parts, indian creek, the list goes on and there all quality markers for less htan what you usualy see them for.
Lastly the feild, Now I'v been to quite a few fields and back yards and i make it a point to go to this one every other weekend its that good. The inside is usualy anywhere from 5 to 15 dagreese cooler on the feild than in the lobby and its cooler there than outside. Both sides are set up evenly for best gameplay and it gets changes around about every week so theres no home feild advantage only skill. And speaking of fair game play the refs will call a game fairly no mater what.
All in all theres no reason to not go to this arena even if your farther away than you'd like to drive still give it a go this place rocks. If i missed anything jsut go to there site, theres photos and more info.
Rock on guys and keep the paintballs rollin in. |

Update: Its still a great place to play paintball. But I must warn you the refs suck a$$. They favor there friends when your playing against them. They do a sh!ty job of reffing. So beware of that don't rely on the refs. The only thing this field needs to is crack down on there refs!!! And teach them how to ref fairly.
First off I am glad to see a paintball arena in that area of Michigan. I have not actually played at the field yet, but I went there and walked around the field. They were actually closed at the time but Cathy the own let my mom, brother and in to have a look around. Well we'll start at the pro shop. Not that bad for a pro shop they have a decent size stock of guns, clothing, ect. But the best thing of all they have very low prices compared to some online stores plus no shipping costs. They do repairs at a rate of $12.50 per half hour. They only rent out Tippmann's, they have one A5 you can rent. rentals are about $35.00 you get everything tank, gun, mask, 500 rounds, hopper you get the picture. Its $10 for all day play, and $5-10 for air. The have Co2, N2, compressed air available. Here is the best part its one of not many indoor fields that lets you bring your own paint. Yes I said it bring your own paint! And no there is no extra fee for using your own paint. Okay you guys ready for a kicked, Brace your self you can buy paint from them at a real low price. A case of 2000rds starts at $35.00 for a low end paint up to $60.00 for a high end paint. Okay now to the field I have not played that many games yet so forgive me if I make it sound better then it is. It is set up kind of weird but that's not a bad thing makes it more fun the have many air bunkers, they also have 2 actual Jeeps inside. The turf is not bad seemed to me they oiled it or it could just be from the paint? Anyways its a great place to go play. Please go play there its my mom's friend that owns the field so I would like to see her stay open. If you have any questions I will gladly try to answer them for you. I hope I did not forget anything this is my first review I had posted. Forgive me.| Last edited on Friday, June 16th, 2006 at 6:55 am PST |
