| Review: |
I have been to Bandits twice and it is a very good place to play paintball. The indoor field is pretty clean and the bunkers were in a different setup the different weekends that I was there, which is good. The only bad thing about the indoor field is that it is a little small and you can get shot of the break a little more then you hope. Altogether the field is GREAT, the prices are great...right now it is only $10 field fee because it's winter and regular is only $15. The service at Bandits is outstanding, they will listen to any problems that you have and do their best to fix it. The owner seems to know a lot about different guns and everything. The reffing is a little above average...but they are very strict about safety...chronoing, barrel condoms, and masks are enforced strongly...so you don't have to worry about safety. There is also a great variety of players that come up on the weekends...there are the guys who use mechanical guns...pump guns...and there are the guys who use fast electric guns. The ref usually does his best to even up the teams as best as possible. The field surface is carpet and allows you to slide a long way, which is good. A case of the cheap paint is about $37 which is a great buy. The fill co2 as well as nitro...so that is all taken care of. Well hope this helped someone. |

I only took a glance at the field but it seems to be very nice. the service is great, and the price is amazing at only 15-free air all day. can't be beaten. But I haven't seen to many people playing there. I am waiting to get my evolution 3 for Christmas. |

Safety was great
They have inside and an outside field. I personally like the outdoor field its a preference thing, I have always played outside, They are field paint only, Had a minor problem with my marker they fixed with no problem, The staff and refs were friendly, the other players were fun to play with, I got there around 11:00 E.S.T. started around noon I stayed til about 4:30 P.M. I shot almost 2,000 rounds in that time. The field fee was 15.00 with all day air. The paint was about 35.00 and up Overall it's a great place to play I will go back many times. |

You kidding me? Paintball in the Tri Cities?
The nearest places to play are in Clare, Mt. Pleasant, or Flint. |

to the Field: |
Right on Bay Rd. Near the ice arena and connected to that chopper shop. It's between Pierce and Kochville. |

Well, the field is really small, but it's the best you're going to get in the Tri-Cities for long time.
Field fee- $15 includes all day air.
Paint- $37 and up.
Hours- They start playin' around noon, and play until about six.
They've got a really nice pro shop set up, and everybody that works there is pretty cool. They shoot at about 260, which I think is pretty high for the size of the field. (It's like shooting lazer beams!) I'm not going to complain though, since my shocker has trouble going below that anyway. I went on opening weekend when it was about -10* outside, and there was still about 20 people that showed up to play. If you play there, you'll have fun. Guaranteed.
It's a fun place to play and the staff is great, but the field is pretty small. (It's better than nothing!) They're planning on putting some fields out back in the summer, which is pretty cool. 3 on 3's and 4 on 4's are pretty quick, while anything bigger than that is pretty ridiculous, if that gives you any idea of the size of the field.
The playing surface is carpet, and it's got two layers on both tapes of the field, so diving and crawling in the snake doesn't destroy your body.
I'll give it a 9, because it's great to not have to drive an hour to play, now. (15 minutes from my house if I drive the speed limit!)| Last edited on Saturday, March 17th, 2007 at 8:43 pm PST |

The first time I came to this field, I did not know what to expect. I has a small airball field, woodsball and a large battlefield where the bunkers are made of wood and tires. Right now they are moving to a facility on Bay Rd. From what I heard, the price to get in is $15 and you have to use there paint. There are about 4 refs. The people who go there are very good and have $1000 guns. However, there are some people who have just started. Sometimes, they will provide food, but I would bring you own. There will be a pro shop in the arena. |

| Review: |
Bandit Paintball does have an exceptional battlefield. The bunkers are well laid out and can accomodate a very large number of players (played 10 on 10 and recieves a 7 of 10) they also have a very ruff woodsball field which can be improved by adding more bunkers/cover as well as making it bigger for a tad bit more manuvering (2 of 10). The airball course wasn't half bad, with them resetting the field i believe every week (could be bigger 4 of 10). The only downer that i personally found about the whole experience was the fact that they state professionalism on their website "Our Staff is Professional and Curtious." When arriving at their field as well as pro shop...the owner (George) was not at all professional or curtious. Asking simple questions that i wanted confirmed, he looked down upon me as a player and treated me like i was a newby. Is it a crime for confiming answers? Also stated on their website this was stated "Welcome to Bandit Paintball, the store that gives you more." Indeed they do offer you more if what you're looking for is to pay top dollar for average items. Feeder necks should not run at 48-55 dollars. You can easily obtain access to these items via the internet and other pro shops throughout saginaw or mt. pleasant for way more reasonable prices (professionalism/curtious 1 of 10). I am sry to say that the lack of professionalism as well as curtious manners has led me to find another field to do business with. |

they have a good airball field, set up is usually good and the people are friendly enough. not alot of advanced players going there yet but hopefully that will change. good prices on paint and air and the field fee is a rock bottom $5 I am hoping to see a hyperball field there some day that would be SWEEET. all in all the best place to play in the tri city area........... well the only place, but still pretty cool |

| Review: |
-Clean, safe, and a fun place to play
-Good turnouts of various skill levels every time I've been there
-Refs are fair and on top of things
-Food and beverages available at reasonable prices
-3 fields: Woodsball, Concept, and an Airball field that's been setup different every time
-Affordable field fee at $5 for the whole day (Usually Noon-6pm )
-Fair pricing on paint starting at (I believe) $40 + tax per case (It is an FPO field)
-Air is $1 per 1000 psi. CO2 is also available, but I am unaware of the pricing. I'm sure it's affordable like everything else there.
Overall, it's a great place to play!| Last edited on Sunday, April 9th, 2006 at 5:56 pm PST |
