This field is solely for noobs. Getting shot in the back is basically a requirement. also filled with people who think they know what they are doing. If you have a rental gun, you dont know what you are doing. Bunch of 10-12 year old kids hiding and shooting anything that moves, even before the game starts. Great fields, but too many rookies and children. All in all, this field makes a great family outing, but not for people who are in the least bit serious about paintballing. Food is ok, Paintballs are way overpriced. Horrible staff and refs. I really dont recommend this. The fields and scenario games are off the chain though. |

| Review: |
First off ive never had this bad of a paintball experience EVER. The sign to the park is really really hard to spot, you will probably pass it a few times looking for it if youve never been there. Very very few parking spaces. Paint is the most expensive ive ever seen, and its crap paint at that. My friend who doesnt own his own gun had to use a rental. He had to trade it in multiple times because they are just so old and beat up. Better off bringing a plastic tube and blowing paintballs out of it. They advertise saying they have "Famous Daves" lunches availible. Yeah. Right. A Famous Daves truck pulls up, dumps off some random meats and drives off. Famous Daves doesnt even cook it so its not really Famous Daves. Im not saying anything bad about Famous Daves for the record. They have awesome food! But not at this place. The pork was disgusting like it was left overs and the kid who was cooking my bratworst undercooked it. Yum! Saminella! They dont even make people chrono their guns! Lets just say i was bleeding in more than 3 spots at the end of the day. And for some reason almost all of the games are 10-15 mins long. You walk 5 mins, listen to some retarted ref for 5 mins expain how the next weird, confusing, stupid game is going to be. And in heavy gear with heavy guns, thats very hot. Then you play for 10 mins and walk 5 mins back to the staging area and do that all over again. If you try and flank around through the woods, by the time you get to the action the game is over. Nonsense. Where to start with the refs. Or should i say what refs? The only time i saw a refs was when they were explaining the rules of each game and when 1 of them was sitting on a log in our base, looking at his shoes, and kicking around dirt. I saw 1 ref on the field the whole 8 hours i was there. That time was when i shot some guy behind a tree more than 10 times because he wouldnt call himself out, so i yelled to the guy "Your our! I shot you! Get outta there!" Then the ref comes to me after witnessing me hit the guy 10 times and says "Your not the ref! Im the ref! Only i can call people out! Got that!?" And he doesnt even call the guy out. Since its a Christian based paintball park they think all players are "honest little angles" and will use the honor system when hit. HAHAHAHAHA this is horrible. 75% of the people i hit wiped off the paint and kept playing. Dont even think about asking a ref for a paint check because you wont find a ref on the field at all and again, they go by the honor system. I got hit on a really small map that you can see the other team when it stars, even before one of the games started, when the players were still entering the field and gathering around the base i got shot in the chest from some no good crap player. Talk about bad. I would advise not bringing your own Co2 tanks. I went to have mine filled and handed it to the KID, he starts to fill it up and then has to ask someone how to do it, finishes it, hands it to me and i walk out. 10 mins later the valve on my tank burts ans sprays co2 everywhere. This happens when someone overfills the tank and the tank gets warm and more pressure builds up. So i took the tank inside to the owner of the park and he says "Its not our fault, your tank must be old bla bla bla bla bla and refuses to replace of pay for it. Even though my tank is 1 year old. Most of the staff there is very snotty and rude, like they are better than you just because they are running a christian paintball park. And they only have around 9 really cheap, small picknick tables to seat all their players. I had to set my gun in the gravel. Pfff. On one of the maps they put theese huge piles of sand on the side of a hill for some reason, if youve ever been to the beach you know sand gets EVERYWHERE. In my gun, in my mask, in my shoes, allll over. I could go on for days about how bad this place is. Oh one more thing. After i was shot and had to exit the field, i put my barrel plug in, put my gun above my head, and wave my other had over my head then started walking off the field. And because theres so many garbage jerk cheating rude unhonest paint wiping players there i got hit 15 times on the 1 minuete walk off the field. I talked to alot of other people and they said the same thing. A few fist fight just about broke out because of this. And because theres no refs, theres no one there to stop it. Just dont got here. Plain and simple, i dont see how they stay in buisness. Probably because they charge so much for paint. DO NOT GO HERE THERE ARE MANY BETTER FIELDS WITHIN DRIVING DISTANCE!!!
Cons-
-Hard to find
-Little parking
-Undercooked missleading food
-Dont enforce chronographing
-Not enough tables for everyone
-Horribly rude staff
-No refs on field
-Everyone wipes paint
-Crappy rental guns
-Full of cheaters
-Expensive paint
-Really short pointless games
-Will probably go home bleeding and angy
Pros-
-Small hard to read sign so you probably wont see it and end up not going to this field. |

Promised land paintball is a good Field for beginners and advanced woodballers alike. If you are into speed-ball you probably won't like this field much because it is all woods.
GAMES
Their are many different games played here i will start with my favorites and work my way down.
Command and conquer
Command and Conquer is a hospital game that is, like a three acre field. The point of the game is to command all of the flag stations at the end of the game. One team starts out at the top of an 80 ft. foothill and the other team starts in a little ravine. From the top of the foothill their is no advantage of "sniping" because it is all very thick brush.
Outlaw island
in outlaw island one team starts out on the left side of the field and the other starts out in the right side. the point of the game is to have all three boxes at the end of the game. pretty much thei is a race to the other side of the field to get the boxes and run back without getting lit-up.
Nuke
The nuke is a pretty coll game that one team the terrorists try to defend a cool briefcase with three buttons and a timer on it. The other team special forces try to take the village (a few raised forts) and press the red button before time runs out.
Capture the flag
This is the basic capture the flag game on an awesome field. Their ar two hills and a ravine in the middle. Their is also one base on each (they are pretty good side log bases) that you can get in or on top of. They hold the flag.
The Refs
The refs are amazing. The head ref, a girl, is super-dooper strict about taking your mask off during play. The first time you do it you have to watch a boring movie, the second time and you cant play their ever again and is told that "you are to stupid to play paintball."They are all pretty strict in chronoing and super strict on using their own paint.
Prices
The prices are: 12$-100paintballs 25$-500paintballs 50$-1000paintballs 9$(WOW)-2000 paintballs.
2$ Hotdog 3$ brat, nachos
15$ entry fee(non member) 10$ entry fee(member)
5$-membership(can only become member after you are done playing)
3$-CO2 fills| Last edited on Tuesday, December 5th, 2006 at 5:00 pm PST |

There is really only 3 things wrong with this place and thats it:
1.Paint is expensive
2.Just woodsball so it doesn't cater to everyone (i like woodsball but not everyone is willing to play it all day so its a bit of a problem
3.They dont have air fills which really sucks when you need to put air in your marker.
On the good side of the place you get food water rental equipment (pro carbine) And it has the cheapest membership i have ever seen. And they have some very interesting scenario games Check this place out you'll like it |

| Review: |
All right I have decided to post a review after hearing all the speedballers whining that it's not catered to their every whim and wish. I have been Playing at promised land for almost 3 years. And let me just get this clear IT ISN'T SPEEDBALL!! Don't go their looking for inflatable bunkers and HPA refills. It's an awesome place to play ask any WOODSBALL player.
There are a lot of newbies here so don't come with a gun that shoots 15+ balls a second and think that no one will whine about it. People are going to complain about it say your ramping shooting hot whatever. There's just two solutions to that problem shoot a little slower, or keep shooting the way you would normally and be absolutely sure there's no trigger bounce and that your not over the chrono. And don't expect majorly experienced players to start strategizing with you, its mainly newbies. Hook up with a group if you don't have one and work out a plan with them. another thing when there's a large amount of newbies expect friendly fire, the fields are large and if your not used to them you can get confused easily.
Cool things about promised Land
5 large fields with awesome bunkers
Many different mini-scenarios to play
Great staff friendly and enthusiastic
Large games usually 150+ players
Fields vary in terrain making each game unique
multiple employable strategies
Laid back newbie friendly environment
Zero tolerance for rule breaking/cheating
enough time between games to refill pods, c02, etc
detailed explanation of each game
shortened orientation for members
member's only game before the normal play starts
Life time membership for $5
there are however some bad points: a case of paint is $92 but you should be able to get by on 500-1000 in a day if you aren't wasting a ton of paint. The lack of HPA is somewhat disappointing and their proshop is lacking. but you can get a Hot dog and a whole mess of chips for two bucks. the brats are pretty good too.

| Review: |
Safety: The rules about safety is strictly enforced. When I went 2 refs actually had to chase after kids for shooting in a 'no shooting zone'
Fields: The fields could be better but as long as I get to play paintball I'm happy. One main problem though is on 2 fields theres a slight advantage to one side.
Paint: I think the paint is fine. I went through around 1500+ balls and had no breaks. I used a .689 bore barrel and it worked perfectly fine.
Prices: The cost is average and field paint is of course, expensive.
Proshop: The shop is lacking in several things but they have most of the necessities.
Refs: The refs rely on the honor system and for the most part stay out of the way.
Food: The nachos were boring they give you a small cheese container and some chips. Stick with the brats or hotdogs. Oh and be sure not to drop your brat like my cousin did!| Last edited on Sunday, June 11th, 2006 at 2:06 pm PST |

| Review: |
Safety: the one time i was there i noticed the more expierenced players having to constantly remind the kids to keep their masks on (despite what the angry video said), although i saw plenty of refs at the staging area, they were almost non-existant on the field. lastly they NEVER had anyone chrono their gun, not even once and i took a couple of bleeding hits to prove it.
Fields: these fields are some of the best i have ever played. plenty of flanking maneuvers and strategy possibilities. however on the command and control map there were too many stalemates to make it very fun. also the fields were very clean.
Prices: RIP OFF. now then before you comment me into a pile of dust let me tell you what you are getting for $80 a case. CRAP Paint. honestly i have never used worse paint in my entire time playing paintball ever. brass eagle is better than this stuff. and at $80 a case i think that it says it all.
The Rentals.
Very, very nice rentals (pro carbines), although not the newest they were kept in great shape (i use my own gun so i don't have first-hand experience) and from what i saw shot pretty accurately.
Refs
I don't even see a point to having refs at this field. they expect you to use the honor system and call yourself out (even if the balls don't pop) but like i said they pretty much stayed off the field.
Food
Great food (brats, hot dogs) and very nice facilties.
Overall i thought the field was very nice, family oriented, and was well maintained, yet there was one thing that bothered me, what was it? oh yeah the paint, i was lucky if i could get 1out of 10 to even exit the barrel, most of the time my gun shot a green mist. the paint was pmi premium
EDIT
i tried some pmi premium at my friend's house today and didn't get one break! i think promised land uses either old paint, or throwaway paint from the factory.| Last edited on Sunday, April 30th, 2006 at 6:37 pm PST |

| Review: |
First of all I would like to say right off the bat that if you are some smack talking, cheating, bonus balling, play-to-win-or-else-I-will-throw-a-fit kind of guy that needs to use 1500 balls a game then don’t even think of coming here because quite frankly I don't want to play with you and don’t even want you within 100 miles of here! .If you are like me and are apart of the 80% of paintballers that is honest and is out there for a good time than read on, but if you are the other 20% come over to the paintball factory where your bull can be dealt with by me and the rest of the anger management crew.
OK, with that over with now on to the rest of the review…
Description: Promised Land Paintball Park was set up for members with a fun and easy going atmosphere. To become a member you need only to play there as a guest of a member and after the day if there are no incidence where you lose your temper, bonus ball, est. then they will accept you.
Owners and refs: The owner and all the refs come from one or two Christian families that all know each other and are fun to play around with. In any game there are four to six refs around one field at one time.
In other reviews people say that there is no ref that will look after a paint check is called. The simple answer to that is that there should not be a call for a paint check because they have a rule that sayes that if a person is hit by a ball and that ball does not break that person is still out. now i here you say "what stops people from cheating?" thats because every person there thinks that they are better than any cheater and most will go out instantly (I say most because some people can’t feel a bounce with your adrenalin up, i'm guilty as charged).
Fields: The fields here are awesome! they have forts built out of railroad ties and logs and one of the largest field in the Midwest. thay have 5 very diverse fields and each with different games to play on like stop the nuke where one team must stop the other from stopping a nuke (a.k.a. a suitcase with a countdown timer in it and a start/stop button), CTF, and my favorite command and conquer on badlands with a massive 7 flag stations. i could tell you about 40 storys about assults and defences of the center flag that could full up this page, and meny more.
Paint: what do you expexct from a paintball park?
Rentals: they rent out tippmann pro carbines. Masks are old but will work nicely for first timers.
Service/food: This area could not be better. At about 11:30 and before the next game the refs take a head count from everybody in the park and ask if you want a hotdog, brat, or nachos. Then after you play the next game the food is waiting for you back in the staging area all for $2 or $3 dollars. The staff in back will also help you with any gun problems you may have.
Players: The best in the world. Every member you can trust to be honest and fair. everybody knows everybody else and when you come for the first time every member makes a effort to met you and welcome you in. the members here are the coolest players you could ever meet.
In conclusion this is the place to go if you want the best paintball experience you ever had. 10 out of 10.

| Review: |
Promised land paintball is where I started and learned how to play paintball. However, that's all this place is good for. They do have a couple of good fields and all the fields are maintained really well. If you are a speed-ball player don't even waste your time. This place has all wooded fields, some areas are fairly thick and pretty cool, but definitely not for the person with the DM5 who needs to unload 25 bps at someone behind a bunker.
For anyone experienced this place will be a nightmare. They don't offer air refills whatsoever so you usually have to find a player with their own personal refill station.
Rental equipment is sub-par at best and for the amount of money you have to pay to rent equipment it is even more disappointing. Paint isn't cheap either.
Don't bother asking for a paintcheck from anyone while you're there either. I understand that it's hard in that environment with that many people but what they do is borderline negligence. They believe in the "honor system" where if you get hit by a ball and it doesn't break you are supposed to call yourself out. The refs only chrono one or two people of the 400 that are on the field. So people are free to crank their guns up to 325 fps and start murdering people.
The people that aren't trying to literally kill you with their hot gun though are always really nice people. Most of them are happy to help with a gun issue that you may be having and the staff on site is somewhat knowledgeable.
So if you are a new player and want to go somewhere with predominately inexperienced players and you want a friendly atmosphere this place is pretty good. However, if you are more experienced and hate getting tagged in the back by a 12 year old with his brass eagle , hate sarcastic apathetic refs, and hate waiting 25 minutes in between maps then go somewhere like paintball sam's or CPX if you are close by.| Last edited on Friday, July 22nd, 2005 at 8:21 am PST |
