Of course like every paintball field that pay to play at safety is #1.
The hours are very reasonable and you get the play that you pay for.
Its forty dollars for all day play, air, and all the reballs you can shoot. (alot)
The same as everywhere barrel bags outside of field, goggles on always on the field, the only different rule is that you cannot take reballs outside of the field.
Proshop is the whole lobby basically very good prices.
The refs are probably the best i've ever seen.
Lots of good players play there.
The bathrooms are very clean very very clean.
They sell snack or at the desk you can pay for a pizza and they will go and pick it up.
BEST FIELD ON PLANET EARTH. 10/10
I can say that i've played in the d1 psp, and NPPL divisions and they don't compare. |

Simply the best field Ive ever played at great staff,SUPER nice field,
clean reballs.
its just simply the best field of all time try it for your self and see what I mean.
Safety is number one priority and always will be.
Field gets a 10/10
hours are not bad at all.
Prices cant be beaten.
The Proshop is soo cheap and its a pretty good size.
staff are great!
Good refs (but its hard to ref reball).
Alot of great players go there.
And they also sell snacks and HotPockets *yumyum*
all in all I didnt believe in a perfect field but now I am a beliver. |

First off, the facility is excellent and very consumer friendly. You walk through the front doors entering their proshop which has more reputable gear than any other proshop I have visited. Their staff is friendly, mainly teenagers who love the sport. It is reball however which makes it hard for the refs to call but the honesty system seems to work there. The turnout was a bit low the day I was there but fun none the less. I was having a bad problem with my pulse not grounding correctly due to the reballs, but besides that my expierence was a positive one. The only negative is that pods aren't allowed on the field which takes some time to get used to. |

great deal 30 bucks may seem expensive but its for all day air all day reballs and 4 hrs of play but this is only on fridays. on sat its like 45 or 55 i think. Thats a little more pricy but its for all day and you get the same stuff..Plus there is always about 5 new players so you won't b the only 1 if u have never played before..go to this site and watch the video http://youtube.com/watch?v=DQVUUt3ofL0 its a little old but its still good| Last edited on Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 at 5:41 pm PST |

Well i guess ill give a basic rundown of all the areas:
Safty- Safty is Number 1 at Open Range. They strictly enforce it but at the same time let you have fun. Theres no reballs off the field and your mask has to be on at all times on the field which is completly understandable.
Field- The field is great its usally got a great set up of bunkers. Theres now a Mini X and A SNAKE which is amazing. The turf is amazing barry said it cost over 80000 to install and he deffinetly got a great deal on it this stuff is amazing.
Prices- The prices in my opinion are great. Some people complain, but when you think about it $45 for all day air and unlimited reballs is amazing.
Services- The place is also a Rifle and Pistol range which is really great if your into that. As far as Paintball the refs will be happy to help teck your gun for $5 or sometimes for free.
Proshop- There proshop is pretty good its got most all the basic needs they carry jerseys, pants, hoppers, all the basic stuff. They dont really have marker specific upgrades mostly just upgrades in genral like Asas and Fittings and stuff. They also carry Dm6's, Pm6's, Dm5's, Eteks, IOns, Tippman A5's, Tippman 98 Customs,etc.
Staff and Refs - The Refs and Staff are great. I happen to be one of them lol. We all are pretty experienced with paintball and can help with pretty much everything.
Players- The Players Range alot theres always New players up there ofcourse and theres usally alot of good players up there i would say its usally about 50 -50 maybe 40 -60 infavor of the new players.
Food and Facilities - Food wise theres a deli about a stones throws away and a chinese place about a minute away on foot. I did hear that Open Range is maybe going to start carrying food like hotpockets and stuff though so that would be great.
Conclusion- There really isnt anything wrong with Open Range. Its a great place where you can have tons of fun at and get to know alot of great people.
I give this field a 10/10

Okay, so this is the only indoor field I've really been to. But I talked to some other paintballers in my area and asked them about other fields, and visited those fields' websites. But this place is like, 15 minutes away from me. It's awesome! The turf is great and easy to slide on. They use supair bunkers, and just got a snake. Their rules are pretty reasonable. Safety is pretty good, without being sticklers. The paintball Staff and refs are mostly just guys in high school, and are pretty helpful. It was my first time at an indoor field, and they kinda had to help me along (I don't normally play speedball)
Great service. Clean facilities. They don't have any food, but there's an awesome deli/pizza place across the street that delivers to the place. They also have a rifle and pistol range, the place is really cool. The staff is really great. Based on my interviews with other guys, I'd give this place a 9/10 |

Vert nice field...However, i was disapponited with my experience. I was on business in the louisville area and thought that I would check them out. When I got to the field there were 2 guys (employess) playing in the field, so I asked the lady at the desk if I could play in. She had some other guy go to the manager and he said no....I could not believe it. I drove 45 minutes to get their, was willing to pay the 45 bucks and just target practive or just practice running and shooting and they would not even let me play. So I will never go back. The store is very nice and so is the reball range, however I bet they have a lot of overhead to pay off and turning away customers is not the best idea...Good luck----CALL FIRST.| Last edited on Sunday, September 10th, 2006 at 6:16 pm PST |

So the staff was pretty cool, THey are willing to get to know you and they learn stuff along the way. They are very strict with rules. They dont allow u to take any reballs out into the staging area which are completely understandable. but to get a fill, u need to take off ur hopper and put a barrel cover on. It a bit excessive IMO. But hey, they are a new field and its pretty good. $45 is awesome for unlimited reballs and all day air. Dont listen to any esle who complains about that. but $65 is a lil too much after this month. Every one agrees.
They do have a pro shop, its decent. Very limited but it a new places. The prices, well, they could do better. I dont any 1 wants to buy a empire B for 130 anymore. But im sure they'll drop soon.
BUt my favorite thing about this place besides unlimited reballs and air for $45 is the fact they can play any kind of music u want. Heck, u can bring ur ipod and play w/e u like so long theres not too many younger players with their parents.
Over all, the whole place was very professional. The guys who owns it( i think barry) it terrific. He came a talked to us and asked what could be improved on. Besides better prices, u cant get any better. The staff are teens in highschool, so pretty much any one get along with them. They even have a myspace. check em out!
I give this field a 9/10. i dont believe in a perfect field. |
