I Love Hotshots for so many reasons.
1. Its inside so weather im playing or just watching im out of the weather.
2. There are no ants, stumps, or bushes, stickers, or briars.
3. Other girls work and play there. (this is great because the women at Hotshots arent wierd and if you get tired of watching paintball and listening to pb talk you can just hang out)
4. The give you free chest protectors if you need them.
5. Air conditioning
6. windows instead of net (you dont get dirty if you dont want to)
7. The bathrooms are super clean
8 Air conditioning
As you can see its simply the best place to go for if your a girl and you play or your boyfriend plays. I have been to paintball places all over alabama and georgia with my boyfriend and the staff at hotshots is awesome. One time i was hungry and didnt want food from the machines but didnt want to order something like pizza so when Jimmy (one of the reffs) went to walmart to get something he brought me back a wrap. Thats service. I also like how clean hotshots is. Also, i like how cheap the paints is. This is because i sometimes pay for my bf to play and its deff cheaper for us to play their for a night than if we go other places. Im not sure about the pro shop i know they have good paintballs. The hours of operation are good i mean they seem to be always open we have played day time and night so i mean thats good. Jimmy is pretty strict i can say one thing i dont know much about paintball but i do know that you have to keep your mask on. Jimmy made sure i understood this he told me like 11 times before we played and explained to me how important it was.
basically i love this place i wouldnt have gotten on a website to write a review if it wasnt special.

I checked out Hotshot's today and have to say I am really disappointed... Disappointed that I don't have a field near me that is as nice as this place.
Let's start with the field. The turf is a great surface to play on, but can be a bit slippery at times. I actually liked it though because you could get some good slides into bunkers. The bunkers were all placed with good angles on the rest of the field and it was very balanced. I enjoyed the set up.
Next, the reffing staff was definitely not afraid to get in and check you. I called a paint check on myself during a 4 on 1 (me being the 1) and he got right in to call me clean. Props to those guys. Also they were very good about checking barrel plugs/masks. Noone seemed to have a problem as the boundary zone is clearly marked and it's pretty hard to get through the net without a mask. Well thought out.
The facility itself was well thought out and the set up allowed for easy play with the air and staging areas right next to the field. It was about a minute turn around between games, so if you wanted to keep playing you could. The players were friendly and talkative as well.
Lastly the staff in general was more than helpful with anything that I might have needed. They were more than willing to cater to the needs of players and adjust the teams to the best of their ability so that families and friends could stay together. They also didn't let it get too off balance either. Good job on their part. They also ensured that games flowed properly and there was never a real down time. I was impressed.
I gave it a 9 out of 10 because there is always room for improvement. In this case, not too much, because they are definitely running a great field over here. It almost saddens me to go back to my home field soon.
I'll definitely play here whenever I'm in town. |

This is, without a doubt, the BEST indoor paintball field I have ever been to. Heck, it's better than some of the outdoor fields I've been to. The field has inflatable "X-ball" bunkers on padded Astro-turf. Their staging area has pick-nic tables and a carpeted floor to keep people from slipping. They have a pro-shop that is pretty decently stocked with most of the latest gear and their prices are pretty fair. They have a good selection of field paint (everything from Hellfire to Rec Sport) and they wont gouge you on paint prices either ($50-$60 for decent mid-grade paint at an indoor field is better than most outdoor fields).
And if you get bored playing paintball (although I don't think this is possible) they have Go-Karts and videogame rooms. As well as a lounge with plenty of TVs to watch. There are vending machines in a large break area and bathrooms that are serviced and kept clean. The staff are friendly and quick to help you out. They will also listen to constructive criticism and act on it if they can. The facility, staff, and field are all top-notch. |

The Indoor field is a tournament style X-ball field. The rental equipment is Ions. Great field for anyone who wants to experience the adrenaline rush of X-ball. HotShots really tries to keep the skill levels separate so the newbies are not getting shot to pieces. HotShots really tries to accommodate the more advanced players with regular tournaments (the last one had a 1st prize of over $800 cash) and monthly open advanced practices.
I played the BRAND-NEW outdoor field. It was awesome. Its spools and tractor tires. Great cover this is going to be a Rec ballers Paradise. I walked the new woods ball field. WOW its HUGE. They have spent a lot of time thinning out the woods. I was told when it is done it is going to feel like a WW2 battle scene. THey said it is going to be done with in the next couple of weeks. There is even a rumor of a 3rd outdoor field eventually. HotShots is defiantly going to become a powerhouse in the south-east.
THe bonus feature is that indoors the have race karts. the fly at 45mph. this is the perfect place for a bachelor or company party.
I give this place 2 thumbs way up! |

this place is great, the indoor field is set up psp style, very nice lay out. And they change the lay -out every week, so its like playing a new field every week. The staff is professional and very helpful, I went there with my new ion having not shot it before and they showed my everything i needed to know on how to clean it and work it correctly. They also have a great selection of apprearel at good prices. There selection of paintballs were also pretty good. So if you are wanting a clean great place to play paintball, you should check this place out |

This is a great facility. The field is one of the best indoor fields I've played on. Great flooring, bunkers, etc. and much larger than most indoor fields I've seen. Kept very clean. They have viewing areas for spectators behind safety glass, as well as a pro-shop with very knowledgeable staff on equipment, etc. PSP Certified ref on staff (not little kids running the fields!).
This is a family owned and operated field and the whole atmosphere shows their commitment to offering to quality karting and paintball fun while being safe. |

This place is great. They have great astro-turf, great prices, excellent pro-shop, PSP X-Ball field, CO2, and 3,000 and 4,500 psi fills. They are open when other fields have closed and you can play during a hurricane if wanted to. Field runs smoothly and professionaly. They will reserve the field for birthday parties. Nice clean bathrooms and a excellent Air-Conditioned Break room with a great choice of vending machines. If you get tired of ballin' there is an indoor go-kart track (those karts can move) and 3 yes THREE X-Box 360 game rooms with HUGE Hi-Def projector screens and surround sound. Deffinetely check this place out. |
