| Review: |
I don't play paintball often, but I've been to several paintball fields/venues and find this one to be my favorite. Staff is awsome and good about making the experience very good for everyone, not just the "regulars". You'll have the most fun if you come with a group of pretty much near equal tallent. I hate when there are hot shots with incredible automatics that lay down so much paint there really isn't much chance for anybody else and they are allowed to team together to massacre the folks who are coming out for their first time. Doug and staff won't allow that crap. They make it as fair as possible, and believe me, there are plenty of places that DON'T do that. The fields are super great. I'll never forget the scenerio we played where the youth group was put in the cool fort they have built off the ground on one field. We 3 chaparones had to storm the fort against 12 or so teens. Gosh, what a great time we had (the youth learned that we "old men" weren't nearly as slow and lame as they figured)! Again, my experience is limited and last experience was several years ago, but in my opinion, you really can't go wrong with the folks at Mt. Doom. I plan to scedule a game for my kids and their cousins tomorrow if they are open for business on a Tuesday! |

I love this field my favorite to play at besides my own,The only problem i have ever had was teams getting a bit stacked from time to time and games are just a little short but those are it. I would highly recommend this field to anybody just wanting to get out and have fun. Great prices as well |

When we played, there was only one ref. a little confusing, and the rules of games were not clearly communicated. nice layout on the castle game though, was a lot of fun, but the time limits need to be eliminated or lengthened. overall i thought it was a pretty good field. gave it a 7 due to the above mentioned qualities. |

the fields are very good i like the way he has it all set up, but the one thing that I really didnt like was that he puts a time limit on the games. I understand on the games that you can respon in but 10 min. is not long enough.Even in the total elimnation games he puts a time limit on.| Last edited on Monday, February 12th, 2007 at 11:43 pm PST |

I cannot say enough about Doug and his staff. We had 29 players show up this past weekend of Nov. 5th and most of the players have never been around paintball what so ever. The rentals were excellent and Doug is a man of his word. The staff made everyone who played as comfortable as possible. All I could see from everyone who played was a grin from ear to ear. The refs did an outstanding job keeping everyone safe and pointing them in the right direction and giving pointers to anyone they could help. Also the generosity at which Doug runs his business is what has kept him at the top of the paintballing sites in Alabama. |

Fun. Many times over fun. The guys (and gals) up there are very friendly and love the sport of paintball. Doug runs a great field (although I wish the games were longer). He runs games for about 10-15 minutes, and you play around 5-6 games per afternoon. Seems a little less than I would expect, but that 's another issue. | Last edited on Sunday, October 10th, 2004 at 11:31 pm PST |

all over north alabama: rock divers (pretty pricey, i wouldn't recommend it unless you didn't have alot of choices in where you can play) crossfire (the much better alternative to rock divers, smaller field but much more plesant) wileys (my personal favorite) paintball quest (probably biggest place ive played, many a fields, very strict rules, but theres something for everyone there, i had an awesome time) dixie land (great for taking a speeball break, the action is more low key) |

I had a pretty good time playing here. Its not for the hardcore speeball player (most fields in this part of alabama are very woodsball oriented) but the older folks that play there are a lot easier to play with than some of the hot shot pre-teens you find around big cities. Very friendly staff and players. The field is friggin huge. about the size of 2 and 1/2 football fields. most of the cover is spools with a few bushes and trees. this place is pretty big on scenario games as well. they have one speedball field, and frankly, it sucks. All the same id recomend this field for people who are new to paintball, play woods, or want to try a place that doesn't require as much speed and running as an air field |

What can you say about Doug and his fields. They are made for enjoyment. You can't help but learn from all the player up there. Team Ghost bears, Doom Factory (aces red and black), Static, and all of the rec players that attend normally each and every open weekend have a great time and make this a great experience. Dan and his sons, Josh and his upcoming Paintball monster, Roger and his crew, Wes and all those who follow him around make paintball at the Mountain a great time. Don't be fooled by the small shed (proshop), Doug has just about anything you could need. He has been doing this for a long time and loves the sport. I especially have to give credit to his wife, whom I am sure is just a little sick of all the paint on her car, house, dogs... etc. She is a great support of the field as well. Oh yeah, be there when she makes the cookies...... but get in line, they go quick.
What can I say, many fields for all levels of enjoyment, walk up to any player there and you'll get a warm welcome. Dougs rules are strict, but very fair and everyone helps ref. It is a great place to start your paintball experience. I highly recommend this place to all levels of experience. Oh yeah.. and the overshooters...... We'll fix that too. :)

| Review: |
I was very impressed with Mt Doom for several reasons,
1. Great fields
2. Interesting games
3. Great prices
4. Extremely nice staff ( although one of their tourny team players was VERY whiney, overshooting happens in our sport, It happend to me today on two Very extreme occasions, My teamates counted at least 5 different colors of paint on my back from one incident, I never said a word because thats all part of it.)
5. overall I was very impressed by the experience.
BUT,
I did see alot of plugless markers in the staging area, and even when warned some of the players continued to shoot around people with no masks on.
all in all I give the field a 9/10, I recomend this field to any and all players, I will be going back soon and often. Please keep in mind my criticism is purley constructive and I am only trying to help point out an easily correctable discrepency. I HAD ALOT OF FUN DOUG, THANX!!!!!! Also....That same guy proved once and for all how big of a crybaby he is at the AAA aces, Dont like getting bunkerd, dont play paintball.| Last edited on Monday, June 7th, 2004 at 9:39 pm PST |
