Its a great place to play they have a huge woodball course two speedball places and the willage. The village is my personal favorite to play its fun and great. The attack and defend field is good a little small but good. The only problem i see is that if you rent a gun you have to use there paint but they do use hpa in there rental markers which is nice. |

| Review: |
I really like this field. The ref's are awesome and everyone is nice to you, even if your new to paintball. Most of the refs are cool, except this retarded kid named Jacob. The owner's son ( I think his name is Tony) is definetely one of the coolest people there. He let me use his DM4 (no, not the sanded down one that stupid jacob used), when my gun wasn't working. He is also really good with guns, so if you have a problem, go to him. The ref's are just like you and me, so they're fun to hang out with and talk to. They will sometimes give you advice if you are newer. The only bad thing is that its kinda far away, so good luck finding a ride. And yes, the lady is in fact a slimy rat. |

| Review: |
This was a great place, people and everyone were friendly. The proshop is adequate just a bit small. The prices for the recball is 75 and for there tourney grade paint is 95 I believe. I bought the recball and it sucked try bringing your own, you'll have to pay a fee but it's worth it. They have 2 speedball fields set up out front. Both field are well maintained and don't have any rocks. They also have a field called the village which is ok if you like that kind of play. There were some woods fields out back that some group was playing on too. I found out that saturday is when the rec players play and sunday is when the tourney players play just so you know. |

| Review: |
Pros: Predator seemed to be fairly established, which means popularity, customer loyalty, and success. The woods field has a lot of varied terrain that made firefights quite interesting. The trees are big enough to provide great cover and close enough together to make movement easy. Underbrush is thin in a lot of areas, making for great visibility. There is a fort for Attack-N-Defend games. The nets around the two speedball fields and the air bunkers were well-maintained.
Cons: Speedball seemed to be the main focus at the field, even though there was a great woods area to play in. The woods field seemed forgotten and rundown, the fort was a mess and falling apart. There were two or three refs and even though they were nice and had good attitudes, they seemed more interested in hanging out with their speedball buddies and reffing speedball games than running the whole field. The refs would only come out into the woods if it was a small, compact game being played near the staging area. A large walk-on group came out about mid-day and were pretty much left to their own devices.
Neutral: The staff at the front counter were nice enough, but seemed indifferent to me. The pro-shop is a converted double-wide and they have fill stations, vending machines, hot dogs, drinks, and sales inside. Papa John's Pizza delivers to the field. The staging area is half covered, and there is plenty of seating, but it was very messy. The trashcans smelled and a lot of the tables were covered in wet paint and dead bugs.
Overall: As with any field, the attendance is what makes or breaks a day of fun. That field has a lot of promise if a lot of people show up to play. Otherwise, you just sit around and watch speedball games or have 3v3 games out in the woods. The terrain in the woods really made playing enjoyable, so I plan on going back.| Last edited on Saturday, September 2nd, 2006 at 5:53 pm PST |

| Review: |
here is a total reveiw of predator:
the refs are naot anal about anything, but they enforce safety. Sure the refs are in their teens but they are fair to everybody. THey will answer all your questions. There are 2 airball fields that are great, 1 close quarters field that is being rebuilt, and 3 wood fields. 1 small two acre field,1 attack and defend, and a 10 acre big woods field.
Predator has about 12 covered tables for a staging area and netted fields for safe veiwing.THey have a great proshop and they fill co2 and HPA. Fill prices are not very expensive. but it is 75 dollars for a case of tourmanent grade paint. It is also a bring your own paint(it is a 6 dollar fee). Visit their website for the kinds of paint they allow. They have a portapotty. They also have a soda machine and hot dogs and nachos.it is a 6 dollar field fee. And Al, the owner, will fix anything for you. You can grad random people and play games with or without a ref. there hours are: fridays 1-6,Sat. 9-7,Sun. team practice 9-11, rec players 11-7. Come out and play. |

| Review: |
I love Predator, the fields, prices, staff, refs, all of it i liked
First off there are huge woods fields for big like 7v7 8 8v8s and thats a hell of alot of fun
The speed ball coarses are great, i never felt like they were too small even when playing with like 12 or 13 people on the field and they werent too big if no one else was there and i was playing a 1v1 or 2v2 with some random people.
People have been saying that the refs are *ssholes, and i dunno if they are to mean to some people, but i never saw it or expirienced it myself, actually ive played against and with them a bunch of times and those can be the most fun games.
The big guy behind the counter is totally awesome, when i used to own a retarded e99 that kept breaking i would sometimes bring it to him and he fixed it every time.
Paint is cheap and c02 and nitro is cheap too
The proshop is kinda small but if you need a barrel condom or something you forgot theyll set you up, plus my brother was looking to buy a barrel like a month ago, and they let him take the barrels off the shelves and play a game to test them, so that he could find the best one...i dont know how you could be anymore helpful than that.
Anyway, Predators the only place i play now, its beast so check it out |

| Review: |
This is a great feild for anyone to play at.
Pros-
-Cheap BYOP (Bring Your Own Paint)
-CO2 is cheap (so is CA)
-Variety of Feilds
-Awesome Refs
-Owner will be glad to help you with anything he can
-Cheap to play there!!!
Cons-
-The one time I encountered a "fight" there things got a little bit out of hand. The fight was between two older men. The refs being teenagers did not jump in and tell the two people to stop. Nothing bad happened and I am sure that if things got to out of hand that something would have been done.
I reccomend this feild to anyone who enjoys playing paintball and having fun. The refs are mostly teenagers but then again so are most of the people who play paintball. They get the job done. They enforce the rules and they are not rude about it. ( Saying this from my 15 year old perspective) I have never heard the refs make fun of anyone or put a newb down. Big plus cuz I am a noob! This place is great for anyone who wants to have a fun time playing some PB. |

| Review: |
Perdator paintball is awsome, The people are great. we travel 80 miles just to play there. To the people talking smack about the refs, hey they play too. Every time its getting ready to close for the day they take turns and play with us. If they talk smack its because they have the right too. As for the people companling about the owner and his wife,safety is very important to them.The person that is on the fourm cring about someones eye, think about it a second. The paint didnt come from the field it came from someone working on walking without a comdom on the gun.I hear them tell people that they need to put it on,and people kinda take offense to it but who cares.A electric marker doesnt have a safety so if you touch the trigger it goes off and people like the guy cring try to blame the field.So people dont beleive everything you read . Perdator is a great field with awsome prices.The Refs and owners are very friendly and helpfull in everything you need.So go there and have fun |

I have played at Triangle paintball and they are way nicer than the people at predator |
|
| Review: |
I've played here 3 times and other than the fact that the ref's are moody as all get out and the lady that fills the tanks is shall i say not that talkative. The owner is pretty nice I have had the privilege of talking to him. The ref's are little turds they act like they own the place and treat all the other people that come and play like crap. All-in-all this place is okay if you really want to play pb that bad, although I would recommend going to Triangle or any other field for that matter Triangle's people are much nicer |

| Review: |
predator paintball is the best paintball field in the trangle area. Not at all like the crap field PBC. You don't have to just sit around and wait for games to be announced. you just find a ref and play. the atmosphere is great for any skill levels and the employees are friendly and extremly helpful. The proshop is great and the owner is an excellent airsmith. IF you have not tried this field you have too |
