Travel down the road about a quarter mile till you see a yellow sign that says the "Pentagon". take a right and your there! you cant miss it. |

First of all:
The staff are very courteous and helpful
Sean Parker, the owner is very knowledgeable and ready to answer your questions.
he was able to tell me what mods i should and shouldnt get, and ones that were there for looks.
one of my friends referred me to the Pentagon and when i got there i was amazed at how much of a selection of guns, barrels, mods and gear. including bawls and paint. The best and only proshop ive ever been to.
After purchasing a couple of mods, i decided to come back on a sunday for free play. you pay a one time fee of 15$, and it lasts you all year for free plays. Safety is a big player at this field. you have to sign wavers, have a mask and barrel cover with you at all times while your in the staging area and when your leaving the field.
there are a multitude of fields to play on. and the layout is always changed every so-often so no field gets boring or the same.
The ref's are all friendly and are very fair. paint checks, teams selections.
all the players i played with that day were all friendly. they all helped me out since it was my first time playing speedball. some even gave me some paint.
Prices are all fair, through research online and at stores, the pentagons usually come out on top with the best deals.
closing thoughts
the store is very clean
i could probley go on for a long time about this place, but i think you should check it out for yourself and get to experience what i did.
Thanks Sean and the Pentagon staff for giving me a new perspective on speedball and paintball in general!
i rate the pentagon a 10/10, a superb field and excellent staff. |

| Review: |
Where to start... I got my brother into paintball a year ago. He started playing at this field being that it was the closest pro shop to him, and where he bought his gear. He 'coerced' me into playing there with him on the free play Sundays. Initially I was hesitant because I was a staunch 'backyard baller' with only a few organized play scenarios under my belt. I wasn't looking forward to playing at a primarily speedball field, and dealing with the sterotypical egos that usually go along with the staff and players. But contrary to what I believed, I was hooked after my first day of play.
The Proshop is stocked with a great variety of speedball guns, upgrades, equipment, and clothing. Most of what I have priced on the internet for future upgrades were here at the store and at a competitve price. There is also a decent collection of woodsball gear for sale. Paint prices are pretty fair too, and the staff is usually kind enough to let you know what kind of paint is shooting well, even if it happens to be on sale.
The Staff is knowledgeable and helpfull. The owner, Sean, has always been present on the Free Sundays to chat with the players, and sometimes cook up free burgers and dogs. Refs are friendly and involved, and more than a few times have been rather helpfull in suggesting ways to improve your performance. Saftey is strongly emphasised, and enforced rather kindly. You won't get railed for forgetting your barrell cover or mask repeatedly, as I did the first couple times playing.
There is a dedicated staging pavilion that is secure with surveilance, and plenty of room to spread out your gear and set up. It is partially enclosed, and during the winter it is heated.
There are 4 different courses to play on using different set ups and bunker types. Each offer a different feel of play. During the non winter months there is an airball field which is rather large and roomy. In addition to these, there is a "capture the fort" style field that is seldom played due to the majority of the players being mainly interested in speedball. But the few times that I played 'The Fort' it was challenging and fun, and good to get my woodsball juices flowing.
I gave Pentagon Paintball a 9. One point shy of perfect due to the lack of woodsball involvement. That I'm sure will change if they were patronized by more woodsball players. I highly suggest this field for anyone looking to throw paint in a friendly environment. |

Well what isnt good about Pentagon. To start off the owners Seon and his wife Nicole are awesome people. They have an amazing complex that is very safe. Their refs are very nice, fair, and helpful. Their fields are good and have a great variety. Their paint is very affordable especially for me only being 14 and with no job. Their proshop is definitely what u call a proshop. It is packed with well priced gear. Also it carries almost anything you will ever need. In conclusion, Pentagon is the best field i have ever been to. If u are planning on going to play paintball I recommend that u go to pentagon,you wont regret it |

| Review: |
I went to Pentagon Paintball for the first time this Sunday after reading all the reviews on this site and i must say WOW! Pentagon lives up to everything everyone is saying. I got 500 rounds of good paint for only $10 now thats not bad to me at all since im only 14 so i dont have alot of cash besides what i make during the summer.
One of the things that i liked the most was how friendly everyone is. I only have a spyder and its not to fast its actually a hand-me-down from my uncle and i was impressed when a guy let me shoot he Evil minion he said he had JUST GOTTEN! My spyder was having problems and while i was standing in the chrono range trying to figure it out he told me he could help and he found out it was a dead battery in my gun, he gave me a free battery and let me shoot his gun while he helped show me how to change it. He let me hold but not shoot :( his DM6 that he didnt have aired up or anything.
On top of all this the refs even in the cold were more than willing to keep games going and to take shots to help get people out if they were hit. The owner was down on the field to helping and he was really cool standing there talking to everyone and just hanging. You feel at home playing here just because everyone is so freindly.
I would say if you are looking for somewhere fun to play or anything to definetly head over to Pentagon and give it a shot. You wont be disappointed between i think his name was Adam who helped me, i know he played for a pentagon team and the refs and the owner i think his name is Sean you will have a great time and meet alot of new and cool people. And there year round Co2 card program is GREAT! |

I played at Jaw Paintball's indoor field. I'm not quite sure if they are even open anymore...I drove by a few days ago and the sign was down and the driveway had a mound of snow blocking it so... |

Directions
to the Field: |
If you are coming from the city or millcreek just take 26th street west to Rt. 98. Take that left (there is a co-fair and burgerking on the corner), and just continue for about 2 miles, you can't miss it, it's on your left. |

FIRST THINGS FIRST!
I played my first game of paintball here and I don't even WANT to go anyplace else around here! When I first went to Pentagon paintball Sean (the owner) was dedicated to making sure I was comfortable and understood all of the safety points! If you are new they will send you straight to sean!
FREE SUNDAYS!
Every sunday is free after your once-a-year $15 field fee! Field paint is required, but it is very fairly priced!
PRO SHOP!
Their pro shop is just about always open! Just call ahead and find out! They have a pretty good selection of guns and upgrades. If they don't have what you need then they will order it in!
FIELDS!
They have multiple fields and they all have well placed bunkers! Check out the website!
FREE FOOD!
Okay, this doesn't happen all the time, but every now and then they will plan a free food day and they will grill up hotdogs, BBQ chicken, burgers, and corn on the cob! FREE! It tastes great and it's FREE! You gotta love that!
STAFF!
They have a fantastic staff of guys who will talk your ear off if you let them! Everybody who works there loves paintball and love to see it played correctly! The coolest part of the whole thing is that Sean, the owner, is down there with you every day gettin dirty.
OVERALL!
In conclusion, this place is fantastic and they love having you there! It is a very personal and at the same time a very professional! If you have never been to this field you have gotta check it out!
**IF YOU ARE A NEW PLAYER GO HERE FIRST**

Not sure since I've left the area about 6 years ago. I recently found this site and had to comment on PP. At the time, there was one over near Peak'nPeek ski resort and an indoor place towards North East. Not exactly local where my home field (2 hours away) which is no longer around (Covert Operations). |

Best advice here is use Google Maps or Yahoo Maps - PP's website is pretty good too. |

| Review: |
Let's begin by stating I've played paintball for nearly 10 years now. Pentagon Paintball was one of the first tournaments my teams have competed in. Since then the teams have competed all over the country (and continent). Unfortunately for me, I've left the tourney world and took a job with the Navy. When I lived in the area Pentagon was by far the best place to play.
First -- GREAT PEOPLE. The owner, the trainer, refs and players who frequented Pentagon were always the best. I can recall at one tourney a player on my team suffered a major marker malfunction which we couldn't fix on the spot. An opposing team lent my player his marker so we didn't lose the match. I can personally attest to the owner's love of the game. I know the work he's put into the fields and store. I seen Pentagon grow from 3 fields to more than I can recall at this time. At true testament to the people working for and drawn to play at Pentagon.
Second -- Knowledge. The owner and refs are very knowledgeable. Especially when it comes to marker work and calling a fair game. Their integrity truly stands out across the board as far as I'm concerned.
Third -- Quality of Experience. The total package at Pentagon far exceeds any other field I've played from San Diego, CA to Ocean City, MD. The service makes the day. I must say I've need been to another field which offers a tourney at next to no cost and then throws in a huge cookout and party following. Pentagon is truly a "Total Package" when it comes to full-service paintball fields.
Lastly, I'd like to say thanks to the people who keep Pentagon afloat - The players who show up, buy paint, buy air (and air cards) and enjoy themselves. I very much enjoy the infrequent times I get to review the Pentagon website and check out pictures and hear about the different types of games the owner keeps coming up with. Keep up the good work!!!
Enjoy

| Review: |
The owner Sean is really nice and helpful, along with all of the other staff and refs. They always help you with any paintball marker trouble and answer any questions you may have to the best of their ability. At Pentagon you can leave all of your equipment in the staging area and not worry about it being stolen. The refs are very concerned with safety there, they always make sure your barrel cover is on and that goggles are worn on the field at all times. All of the players who go to Pentagon regularly are always polite no matter how much experience they have or you lack and they also are willing to answer any questions you have. The games are intense, but once you are off the field there are no hard feelings. Pentagon always has a great atmosphere where you can just sit and talk with the refs, staff, or other players. And possibly most importantly, their prices are great. It is free to play on Sundays and paint is high quality yet at an inexpensive, affordable price. They only let you use paint bought there, but that is not a problem because it is cheaper than if you bought it anywhere else anyway. Although this is the only place I have played paintball, other than some woods-ball matches at my friends camp, Pentagon is the absolute best place to play paintball and I will remain their loyal customer for as long as I play paintball. |

| Review: |
Pentagon is Great! I've played at Blister park, and (sorry josh) it just doesn't compare. Pentagon has numerous fields, and always has people rearing to play. It was there that I realized my potential as a front player. The first game was a knockout round. It was me and a guy named Al. We were in opposing bunkers and I charged. He shot me in the face, and I got him in the face as well. He congratulated me, and it was then that I started to feel at home. Im not here to tell you about my day, but I want to tell you this. The people there actualy care about eachother. (Here I go again) One guy bonus balled me and instantly started to walk off the field. How many people do you know who would walk off if the ref didn't catch them? Seeing this, I told him that it was alright, and to stay in. He said it was the rules, so I ended up telling him that he had missed, and that it was old paint. The people there are honest. Almost to a fault. Since our school is organizing a paintball team, we'll be playing there again. |

Today me and some friends and family went up to Pentagon to play. It was only us and 3 other people but it was still really fun! Today was not my first time, I've been there before and it keeps getting funner every time. Pentagon is defiantly my favorite field around here.
