I love xtreme paintball because of the staff, prices, players, and field. Every time I have a problem Chris helps me fix it. The refs are nice and experienced. The cost is free to get in and only $50 for a box of paint. You may have to buy air, but it really isn't that expensive. The staff makes sure you have barrel condoms on at all times and same with masks when on the field. I plan to go again. |

Rating the following 1 worst to 10 best
Safety 7 ( enforced more so by the players then the staff )
Fields 9 ( Speed ball is grass but has dips and divets. Wood is not Recon style to small, but very well lay out )
Prices 5 ( Average, have to pay for air )
Proshop 7 ( set a little distance from the field, not very large )
Staff 7 ( For the most part friendly, Understaffed though )
Refs 4 ( Not there for every day play, The day I attended an event they needed a talking to at lunch time, for their lack of participation )
Players 10 (This is what makes me come back for more, everyone helps the other)
Facilities 5 ( No running water. Refill stations is in distant proshop)
Food 5 ( Drinks are there but no food, Food is very close, driving wise )
When I first played there, I liked the fields allot.
The owner rubbed me the wrong way when I first met him. He was opionated. If he didn't carry the product, it pretty much sucked, was the impression I got. ( Not a way to treat a first time customer that's going to buy his paint and play there with a gun he doesn't sell )
The lack of staff makes playing on the fields a more of a Play at your own risk style of playing.
If this is your first time playing ASK for help. You will sure to get it. |

| Review: |
I showed up and all the speedball kids were gearing up....about 45 minutes later(about 10:30) about 12 woodsball guys showed up. We played some games. The woodscourse is a good setup...not too big, perfect size for 6 on 6....it was pretty fast paced. Chris in the shop is great, and so is the staff. I played a couple 4 on 4 speedball games with the woodsball guys...and some of the regulars reffed the games and gave us some tips. Everyone there was real cool. i spent 65 bucks all day, and that included admission, paint and air. great pricing.
There was a chrono on site, and all the staff made sure barrel condoms were on at all times. Good bunch of guys.
I am DEFINITELY going back. |

| Review: |
The woods field is great, and they have really cool bunkers on it. There speedball fields are setup nice too. I am not sure what some of the other reviews are talking about, the factory team is really nice. They helped me out when my MR-2 broke. The kid with glasses always breaks teams up evenly and fairly. I thought the field had a great environment to play in. I am going to keep going back. It way nicer to play at then matt's, IMO because at matt's there kinda mean to new people, No problem with that at Xtreme. The Owner is always really nice guy.| Last edited on Friday, August 17th, 2007 at 8:30 am PST |

EVERY time I visit this field I have a problem with the staff and factory team. My team went there once and we had an issue about cheating with the FACTORY TEAM, (the K.O.K.) ***COMPARED TO OTHER FIELDS IN CT. THERE IS BARELY ANY PEOPLE THAT SHOW UP AND PLAY WHEN I VISIT*** Maybe it's just when I go, but no one is ever really there which makes it not fun. !!!!!!!THEIR TOURNAMENT WAS NOT OFFICIAL!!!!! Their factory team REFS, AND PLAYS! All the calls are for them. Somehow the points change every time I ask about them between the staff and chris. They CHANGED THE RULES DURING the tournament. Please don't say I'm LYING BECAUSE you know I'm not. Lastly though, I give this field a 2 out of 10 because I liked the field layout. |

| Review: |
We came out for a cash prize tourney at xtreme this past weekend and it was definitly an interesting experience.. I figured since there was going to be a cash prize, there would be a strong reffing staff so that it wouldnt be the refs that decided the outcome but, boy was i mistaken. There were 3 refs.... at least 1 of them had never reffed before and didnt really know the rules it seemed.. Through the 8 prelims we got screwed over in every game that we lost.. 4 times one of our players would bunker an opposing player and then get shot, but the refs would wipe off the player and pull our player.. every time....somehow we made the finals and were once again screwed in the final game. it was a 2 on 4 and it was looking bad for us, but one of their players ran up to bunker our dorito corner (i was in snake corner) but i shot him in the face about 10 feet before he got to my player, then he came around, bunkered my guy and shot me 3 times. i got my armband pulled but my other player did not. They gave them a penalty, but becasue it was the house team, they didnt pull a 3-for-1 (which was ridiculous). our last guy ran to get the flag because the refs wiped him off, but they didnt pull the last opposing player and he shot our guy.
I think that if they have actually had some real refs that knew what the hell they were doing, this wouldve been a fun tourney. Chris (the owner) is an ok guy and the field was decent ( there were some random ditches and stuff) but it was on well mowed grass and it wasnt bad. the field is a long ass walk from the front of the building though, so getting air was a pain in the ass.
i dont see myself ever playing there again, it was just too screwed up for me to go back. id rather not play then waste my money on another tourney there.
3/10- mainly because the guys there were ok, but it was a pretty miserable experience.

Xtreme is deffinitally one of the greatest paintball places in the area. Not much of a staff but chris is great and so are the pros that are always there. Alot of beginners so you won't feel like your the only one there, and the players are all nice. Not much food there, but just bring your own. You have to buy the paint there, but for 50$ for 2000, it's deffinitally worth it. The fields are awsome..speedball, spools, and the best woods I've seen.
The hours are great. Open weekdays, and weekends. The proshop is great, you break something chris is right on it. All the regular players always break teams evenly when new players come. My first time was great I remember being helped the minute I got there. Nothings perfect, so I give it a 9 because of how long you have to walk to the field, if you break something you basically miss a game just because you have to walk up to fix it, but other than that it is great. |

First off, before i start talking about the field, you cannot beat the environmentat Xtreme. everybody their including the players are totally willing to help you out with any of your problems with your gun, or just some tips for playing. There is NO field fee, the only time you will have to pay a field fee is for a fund raiser (for local schools, etc..) and those are usually pretty rare. The only thing you need to play on the field is to buy Xtreme's paint, which i have no problem buying (only 50 dollars for great paint). also they do have HPA 3000psi and 4500 psi fills, along with co2. the fields are right behind the shop, currently there is, a sick 5 man speedball field, along with an awesome woodsball field, that includes a castle, and well placed bunkers that keep both sides with the same advantages and angles to sneak up on the opposing teams. there also is a wooden spool version of a speedball field. There is plenty of picnic tables to put down your equipment, and pretty much your guaranteed to have allot of fun. so far i haven't had a bad day of play there yet. theres always plenty off people there to have a good clean game with on the weekends.
Also check out there website!

| Review: |
When I got there, I wasn't really instructed on what to do about air, paint (kind of an awkward situation), entry etc. but i got through it, no big deal. It was a long a** walk to the fields, but i'm no sissy, i dealt with it. When i got there, this goofy lookin kid with glasses came out of no where from the woods and threatened me to put on my barrel condom or he'd kick me out, lol weird, and i had it on anyway so it kind of upset me how harsh he was when i wasnt doing anything wrong. Oh well, so on to the game, I'm kind of a begginer, but i decided to kick up my game and try some speedball. Ok, not a good idea, the teams were split up unevenly by the same kid in the glasses and in the red jersey, it was all the speed ballers on his team vs. me and some of my begginer friends. We got crushed lol, and we got bonus balled way to many times but we dealt with it. We then went into the woods and played, and had a good time, even though barely anyone showed up. As we were leaving, there was a ton of yelling and fighting, i couldnt tell what was going on but, of course, the funny lookin kid in the glasses was yelling at a bunch of people. Other than that kid lol, i had a fun time and would like to come back. But due to some of the problems i had, i give it a 5 out of 10 for a rating as an average field.

| Review: |
Played in the Bunny Fund raiser game on 3/25. First time to play on the field, but not he first time to the store.
I will review each part of the whole field:
The field is a little small, but it was just the right size for the crowd that was on hand, about 60 players. It is a great woodsball field. It has been cleared enough that you can move through the woods and get shots on people, but not cleared to the point that it is more like playing in a open field. Good use of man made bunkers and natural terrain made for almost a constant firefight. Nice structures that are laid out to provide great cover, but they are not so god that you cannot successfully attack them.It looks like they also have a spool field and an airball field, but they were not up for this event.
The Staff: You cannot ask for better. The owner Chris takes a very hands on approach and wants to make sure that every player has the best time ever. His staff were also great both during and after the game. Friendly and right there when you needed a ref. Good field need good people and Xtreme has them both.
Store: nice selection of paintball goodies. Chris is able to help out with most marker problems. May not have "everything" in the world, but a good store with good prices.
Rental Equipment: looked good to me, but I have my own stuff.
Bathrooms and other stuff. Only a porta potty, and no food on site.
Like I said above, this is a great field with great staff. I will definitely be back to play this field often. If you get the chance, stop in and say Hi to Chris and take some time to play, you will not be disappointed.
I gave the field an 9 but only because nothing is perfect |
