I had a fun time on this field and overall the field is great and easy to follow.
Pros:
The air price is reasonable but not free
Field is big and well taken care of
They have an indoor
people are friendly
refs sell paint on the field
Cons:
Next to lake ontario (cold)
no byop but easy to smuggle paint and they dont care that much
not a whole selection of fields but the ones they have a re great
if its cold no outdoor
kind of confusing were to go wen ur dead
Alltogether I am planing to go very soon and i reccomend for anyone but if ur going just for outdoor prepair to be disapointed because u might not playoutdoor. |

| Review: |
this feild is one of the best around. the indoor is small but entertaining, and the outdoor is 8 acres of awsomeness! But with everything good, there are bad things, like the price. if u go on a normal walkon day, about 10 or 12 people show up. that meens, if ur playing in the indoor speedball feild, ur gunna use at least 400-500 pballs. but if u go on the wensday night walkon, rental and admission is only 35$! thats not bad comparded to 50-60 bucks. The first time i went was on a wenesday night, march break. it was packed. it was 10 v 10 teams. it was crazy.
The staff there are real nice there 2. they arnt afraid of helping u out if u dont know alot or if ur gun is not working. they are also nice and strick. if they see u wipe or cheat, u and a friend of ur choice have to sit out a round. if u do it again, ur not playing anymore.
The facilities there arnt bad, but they arnt in the main building. the main building has the shop, and the indoor feild in it then there is another building, with washrooms and stuff in it, also with vending machines. |

lol well ok I simply went to the field for a birthday party well hahahahahahahahahahhaha this has got to be the worst field i have ever seen! I agree it is big but there was no god dam bunkers or anything. When i went everyone had a freaking viewloader or brasseagle they still use barrel plus rofl! they can be shot through so easily. I literly saw 1 tippmann and 1 decent speedball gun there basically just renters oh boy did i have fun lighting them up. If you watch there promtional video some freaking kids are playing with barrel bags still ont here gun while other kids are shootingat them and there not noobs thevye got like ions and electras. Im sorry but this field is just horrible the field i have at home is bettter and the players that go there are worse than the field. I would never go back except mabye to laugh at renters as i light them up. I just dont see any challenge or point to this field. I have also heard the owner of this feild is a crook that will rip you off not saying its true just stating it. |

The niagara tactical adventure games had been and still is my home feilkd... it is located within 20 mins. of most niagara communioties, and has reliable staff who are knowlegable and VERY nice guys. The owner tim know pretty much everything that could go wrong with a marker, and has fixed almost every problem with other peoples guns.The feild (outdoor) is great not the biggest ive ever played on but awesome for when it comes to practices. There is an indoor and an outdoor airball, as well as speedball at the back and the woodsball field in the middle.But thats just one location, their other one by Hwy 20 and Victoria is huge! 75 acres of playing space, awesome bunkers, and a big staging area (though it isnt so bug @ the prudhommes location). The staff are very willing to help out and most of 6the regular everyweek players are considerate and wont pop 20 rds. in you. i know the rental gear isnt to gtood, but everytime its failed, its usaully fixed soon after. The ref's are strict on safety do KEEP YOUR GOGGLES ON!!! and have had lots of expierience. I am usually there everyweek ad wouldnt change it for the world!
P.S. Tim .... keep up the awesome business and reliable field! |

This field is great, the indoor is very small but it does the trick on a rainy day.
Now the field on hwy 20 and Victoria that's the good stuff...that is a field you must reserve ahead of time but wow...The best paintball I've ever played was played at that field...The owner is very helpful and willing to accommodate large groups...I believe a group of twenty is required for this field however you WILL NOT be disjointed. Multiple forts and stations within 60+ acres of woods...OUTSTANDING
Indoor gets a 5 of 10
Outdoor gets 8 of 10
Outdoor at Hwy 20 location gets a 10 of 10 |

I have been to this field a few times and I will say that it is one of the worst fields in the Niagara Region. The paint is expensive if it's not a wednesday night in which case it's $25/500 balls otherwise it's $45/500 and that's not even for decent paint, it's for some no name paint that is misformed sticky hard shelled and sometimes so brittle as to get ball breaks once every 5 shots. The last time I went to play there it was a 38 vs 38 walk-on on the capture the flag course. You would think they would split us into smaller groups to make for an easier game but no the refs simply split us into 2 big groups and basically said go at it. that night my bag of paint also broke while filling my hopper just ripped open completely, to the credit of the field I was given a new bag no question's asked but it shouldn't have happened in the first place and was actually a pretty common problem that night. Now for the indoor speedball field. it is a good idea to have indoor in the winter but only if it can be properly cleaned and maintained after each game, this field was poorly lit, dirty (there was paint all over the floor when the walk on started from the previous walk on a week before), the indoor is also set up in such a way that one team has a HUGE advantage over the other starting not only behind a wall but having a spot to cover the entire field while being basically covered completely. In conclusion unless it's a wednesday night and there's not a lot of ppl at the field so it's not crowded don't waste your time or money here go to DMZ or NPG which are better run and better value for $$.| Last edited on Friday, February 17th, 2006 at 6:02 am PST |

| Review: |
Well Niagara Tactical was the first field I ever played at. My friends and I decided to take up Paintballing after we discussed it over some coffee quite a while ago. So in less then a week, 6 markers were purchased (4 from there) and we got on our way.
I have to say, playing for the first time was quite fun, it was exciting. But after a few times of being there and witnessing "pros" not call out VERY often, or being in the dark and -wasting- half a hopper on a guy who is under a bus and asking him to get out and there being absolutely no refs, or just 1 ...you know to cover the entire field...anyway it gets on your nervs, I guess that is why they move over to speedball. So that you can play in a great dimly lit field and have everyone play fairly. Im not sure </sarcasm>
My greatest dissapointment came when my own brother who was on MY team was shot at by a teamate because a ref told him he was on the opposite team and to shoot him. THE HELL ARE THE REFS DOING TELLING HIS FRIENDS TO SHOOT ANYONE???!? The refs arent there to play or have fun at all, they are there to ref. I had the flag, dropped it at the other end, but the super duper refs had no idea what was going on and the game kept playing....(isnt it supposed to end, game over, we win?) Im there waiting at the barrel and you know..calling we win..stop shooting? Anyway, OK so appearantly the game still goes on.
So a few weeks later, my marker fails on me, me being relatively new to the sport, I can't easily take apart my marker and tell what is wrong, I knew it was something simple but had to have someone experienced look at it. So i ask the staff nicely but once they asked me where I bought it and responded (not there). They simply shot it a few times and said..""well it just may need oil" you know even though the darn thing is shooting ice everywhere and i've oiled it and done the basics to my knowledge a million times..o did i mention we've already spent about 2 thousand on getting our equipment there..in a week.. but its ok. Hey no one HAS to fix my gun, i just thought id get better service.
I havent played the indoor field, but ive seen it, and it looks really really dirty and unplayable, hopefully everyone has fun, but i dont see myself paying to play there anymore. |

| Review: |
I was invited to go with a friend and well he was paying so I decided to go along even though I knew it was a pretty bad place, but oh well it was free and we couldn't go anywhere else at the time.
I got there and there is barely no space to put my gear down its a extremely small staging area. I have to ask the guy working there to get the chrony out so I can chrony my angel cause I just recently rebuilt the lpr in it. It takes the guy like 10 minutes and I had to sit out the first game because I was waiting to chrony. Once I set my gun to 300fps I see if I can lower my input pressure from my angel air and still get the same velocity so I can get more shots out of my tank. But the guy says there's no time and ushers me back into the cramped staging area even though I only took like 1 minute and people were still cleaning them self's off.
One kid is having trouble with his rental and asks if he can get some help. The gun was uncocking during play and his hopper wasn't feeding in balls most of the time. The gun chopped a few paintballs which happen to be outrageously over priced and of terrible quality and was jamming up sometimes and the elbow was screwed on so tight that it was preventing the hopper from feeding most of the time. To get the hopper to feed you had to vigorously shag the gun and then maybe you could get 3 balls to get through the elbow. To fix this the guy in charge of dealing with the rentals hand the kid a cloth and a screwdriver. The cloth was to clean out the chamber and the barrel with and the screw driver was to loosen the elbow. How is a kid who's never been paint-balling and do sen't know the first thing about a paintball gun supposed to fix the peice of poop gun he is given? the kid can't shove the cloth down the barrel cause he wouldn't be able to get it out and there is no way it would fit. I told the kid that the screw driver was to loosen the elbow and he got that done but ther was still chopped paint in the barrel and chamber, and he wasn't able to get that out. No one who worked there would help the kid out. it was a perfect display of the lowsy service you get at that field.
We all get on to the field and well its extremely small (the indoor field). The bunkers are badly setup giving one side a huge advantage. The place is very dirty. The ref starts up the game and then just stands in his little room covering him self up with a shield and not ever leaving that room the entire game. How is a person supposed to be a ref if they are standing still only seeing a small portion of the Field? Cheating was rampant and the so called "pro's" showed total disrespect for the rules like over shooting when bunkering and when a person was clearly out. When a first timer is sitting behind his bunker trying to help out his team the best he can you don't wrap around and shoot the person 8 times in the back and then not excuse your self when the person starts to cry. The exact same guy who told the first timers about the barrel tag rule dosen't even use it, he didn't care if people got hurt as long as he won. Since the ref is basically hiding in his little room he wasn't able to catch the obvious cheating of some of the players. When you get shot in the leg twice you don't just wipe it off and keep going even though everyone who was there (except the ref) saw it happen and didn't do anything about it. I was yelling for the person to get out cause I shoot him but he wouldn't so shot him some more and he finally got out after being shot 4 times.
I was playing paintball, something I really like but it just wasn't fun cause the place and everything about it was so terrible.
The price of everything at the field so so over inflated too. Paint was terrible quality and you only got 1 free air fill, the same goes for co2, after that you had to pay. I did a standard drop test on the paint to see what quality it was. To determine the quality of a paintball on a drop test you must drop the paintball from 5 feet in the air. A good quality paintball will be able to drop about 5 to 6 times before it breaks. If it breaks before or after 5 or 6 times it means that ist not good paint. I tested 10 of my paintballs and 6 of them broke on the first drop the other 4 didn't even make it past 4 drops before they all broke. It was very brittle paint. Some of the paintballs were also miss shaped. I was trying to get the right paint to bore match with my scepter barrel kit but it just wasn't possible because the paint wasn't a consistent size so I just took the biggest barrel insert I had to avoid from getting chops.
The price of everything there is outrageously expensive. To get a rental and 50 paintballs with 1 co2 fill is $20 for only 3 hours of play. That's for a poorly maintained crappy piranha. They clean the guns using a garden hose for god sakes. The guns become uncocked all the time and have terrible efficiency not to mention extremely poor accuracy. The paint is terrible like I mentioned earlier and to buy 100 extra paintballs its $10. That's 10 cents a paintball, its just so freaking expensive.The masks that the field rents are extremely crappy and they fog up in minutes. when you are playing speedball you can't wipe your mask of fog cause if you lift your mask at all your eyes could get shot out.
The terrible field set ups make it one sided, and who ever is on the wrong side is usually crushed.
the staff there are lazy and not help full, bad attitude and terrible examples to beginner's and everyone who may go to the field. They are what make paintball look bad, to the general public.
In the end I had a pretty lowsy time it was paintball but it just wasn't fun because of the cheating and below crappy service. I hope everyone who is affiliated with that field dies an agonizing death and is torn to shreds by wolves!
Its the worst field in the entire region I can't imagine anything crappier then Niagara Tactical Adventure Games.
I am not lieing at all. Please do not ever waste your time and money at NTAG. Go to NPG where its more the half as cheap and a 100 times better.
