Our team, DOG SOLDIERS attended Remagen Bridge.
The attendance was down, floods and tornados had recently played havoc with the area.
We expected a couple of hundred, but due to the weather there were maybe 70 or so in attendance
So our first thoughts were not too good
But much to our surprise the day just kept getting better and better
The field, with the hip high grass and crazy deep creek and heavily guarded bridges made for outstanding paintball.
The refs were many, and were of high quality
The paint was good and not too pricey (my marker won't shoot crap paint, it shot this paint well)
There was some crazy version of a sloppy joe being sold that was simply outstanding, + all foods and drinks were priced for the family budget
The owner was active , involved and outwardly friendly
And the DOG SOLDIERS had a huge role in securing the many flag stations that gave the Germans a come from behind last minute (literally) VICTORY !
All of the DOG SOLDIERS commented in high praise about the overall experience during the ride home

HIGHLY recommend Sure Shootin Paintball & The Bridge At Remagen scenario held there |

I love this field. Its the closest one to where I live (clarion,ia) The staff are great and give tips and stratigies to go along with many of thier sweet scenarios. I love the fields in which you play on, the woods ball fields are great and they add small builds for hostage rescue. The owners even give away free admission if you play there 5 times a season. The only complaint i have is they are no longer open on Saturdays. I talked to the owner and they said they werent getting enough buisiness on saturdays so made them reservation only in hopes to make sundays have larger groups playing. |

Awesome woodsball fields and speedball too. It was my first paintball park experience and I'm hooked like mad now. I can't wait to go back. The two fields had plenty of cover ranging from trees and buildings, to burms and bunkers. I believe they said it was 23 acres worth of woodsball fields, nice!! The scenarios we played were fun as heck too. It wasn't just plain old CTF, although the CTF we played was fun as well. I'll definitly be going back, soon I hope. |

This feild is full of obsticle such as berms forts forst's and even a creek runing down the midle seperateing feild one and feild two.
Their is an impresive set of bunkers thrughout the feild one and on the east side that is is borderd by a creek there is a set of four buildings simulating the village on the east border (awsom close contact action).
In the midle their is a pow camp with chain link surondeding, four towers provide supurb protection, unfortunatly the openess of the chain link means you have to hide be hind the pre made fortifications
on the north and south ends of feild on e there are two bungers with three sloots facing forward and an entrance in the rear they are exilent for a last stand.1
this is an exilant corse if you are a newbe like me than you will have a majior dis advantege if your gun is not hi quality, their are fue areas in which to hide. have fun| Last edited on Thursday, October 19th, 2006 at 9:17 am PST |

First off, most excellent field. Dennis and his crew run a top notch outfit here. To who ever mentioned having a "semi-bad" experience because of the group of players that were there, sorry to hear that, but it does happen unfortunatley. Glad to hear that you're still talking about playing there though.
Now, on to the good stuff. SSP is a must play, so far only been there just the once, but now that work and everything have calmed done, will be making regular trips there. Down side is that it's only open on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 5pm. Plus side, as long as you've got your own gear, bring your own balls, for $10.00 you get one heckuva good 4 hours of playing in. They try to keep the action fast paced and the games fun.
It's already been mentioned above by previous posters, but they've got some very good scenario games set up (I still say that "dummy" from the Pilot Down scenario owes me money!! long story...) Pilot Down was a good one, though that dummy is pretty heavy... and a fun one was Terrorist... one group is the Terrorist group with the code to a "bomb" hidden in the woods. The other group are the "good" guys, they've got to find the bomb, find the terrorist, get the code, then deactivate the bomb within 15 minutes... major fun... Domination, CTF... Ring of Fire (speedball) was a hoot, with 4 teams on the speed ball course, you had balls flying at you from every direction.
Overall, their prices are right on, even when renting their gear it's still not a bad deal for what you get. Highly recommend to one and all that you make the run and enjoy a day at SSP if you're nearby (and we had folks from Des Moines and Minneapolis playing with us that day, both two hours away... they all said it was the best course around...)
C'yall on the field...

This facility is a great place to be. THey have fun scenarios. It is also fun to play there for woodsball. Well now that I have said that, A couple of buddies and I went here and it was starting off great. Then when we started to dominate all of the other players, they started to get mad and they thought we were cheating. So now the 2 refs were always by us to make sure, and guess what we were never hit, until the last game. Then during the day during a scenario, a guy who had been shot and in the freezone walks on to the field and hands his son a pod, thats cheating. Then another time my friend shot this guys hopper,( friend used pink fill, very bright) the guy ducks behind a bunker, next thing you know the hopper is clean, thats cheating. Ok, now there is this dumb guy, once you get shot you need to raise your gun and say loud SHOT, or OUT. I was shooting at this guy and he never said anyhting so I kept shooting, finally I stopped and saw white fill on his back, I shot him and the dumby never said anything. Then he goes to the owner and complains I shot him to many times, and he was the moron who didn't say he was out. I mean just because a couple of 15 year olds were kicking 20-35
year olds butts doesn't mean you gotta cheat and complain like big babies!
Well we only got to play on Field 1, Field 2 was flooded so we couldn't of played there. We didn't get any Ring of Fire either because every one wanted to play scenario. I would reccomend playing here again as long as know one is a big baby. oh and it was cool because we got to see a guy with a A-5 response trigger, wow, it shoots fast! |

This place rocks--me and a buddy went here this pasted weekedn and had a blast. Very professionally run and the games were continous. Hats off to the owner--he knows what he's doing. This field is well thought out and very fun. I recommend this place to anyone who loves playing the woods. Oh ya, the ring of fire is awesome. And FYI--bring an automatic if you have one cause you can use it all day long and really tear some people up!! This field rocks and I'll be back for more! The RING OF FIRE IS FIERCE AND FUN> I can't wait to go again. The drive from CR is definitely worth it. |

this is one of the best fields i have played anywhere around here. (i work for an airline so when i say anywhere around here, i really do meen anywhere) it is very profeshionaly ran. denis (the owner) is very paitiont and will help any player with a question or concern. the fields are very well kept up,(he even sprays for mosquitos)
not allot of speedball played but i dont hear many people ask for it either. he has really commited to his field. he is putting a pistal maze in, and is always thinking of ways to improve the field or games. allot of fields talk about improvments that they would like to make, this place actually does them. the fields boundaries are very clearly marked. and has some of the most reasonable prices around. he also does incentives, the more you come he gives t-shirts and free play, for every 5th time in a season. the judges are good and very fair. they dont always catch everything but they will investigate about anything that they hear. so in conclusion... a definate park to go and check out. ohh almost forgot, this year he started selling guns,parts,and supplies that he keeps on hand. (no waithing to order) not a bad selection either. |

Wow, this is an excellent field. I love woods ball and scenario games and these guys know how to run a field. Very professional, well maintained, and just plain fun. They have some very cool fields to play. One with a POW camp that includes 4 guard towers. The other field is a shallow valley setup that's divided by a creek and has nice big bridge crossing in the middle. These fields make for some very interesting games and one hell of a good time. They also have a speedball feild that I've played once and don't have much interest in playing again. Not my cup of tea I guess. Refs are good but they almost need more than 2 on the big fields to keep up with the action. I give it a 10 because I've played about 6 different fields in the past and this has by far been the best I've seen and most professionally run. |
