| Review: |
This is a pretty good place, best place i have played at. My friend thinks his back yard is btter but i think he i doosh bag. The have a strict saftey rule which i aint sayin is bad or good. You can t have a gun over 300 psi i think. There is also this guy who gives u a barrel plug and is like a fly and is all over you making sure ur barrel plug is in. Other than that, the guy is pretty cool. Hre gives newbs advice and tells them what to do. The filed is aswome. They have a forest, speed ball, and air ball. I have not done the air ball yet but the speed ball is awesome and the woods ball is okay. All in all this field get a 9. It is the best place i have played at(i havent played at much places) and is very expensive. |

Ok i wen to west end a couple of days ago in my opinion it is a great feild all the people are and nice. If you are looking for reall competition go there on a saturday not sunday i went on a sunday and there was just a bunch of little kids there. Still my experience is good except for that the tank were runing low so my tank didn't get filled right once. My only other complaint is the cost of paint, i mean come on $90 bucks for paint, u can buy the same paint at x-fire for $40. So if you do go there bring your own paint!!| Last edited on Thursday, November 11th, 2004 at 4:28 am PST |

When i first started to play paintball this was the first field i went to....i didn't even have a gun...but i rented from West End for the day. i had no prior experience playing but i went there and everyone was great! all the refs gave helpful hints to us and all the players were more tha willing to give advice to me. the field is great... depending on the amount of people there during a Sunday we might play full field or half field.... the field consits of 2 lrge treeforts on opposite ends of the field, small wooded areas (bushes small trees) and numerous bunkers in the middle and both sides of the field. A speedball course was put in along with an air ball field this year. Saftey is taken very seriously here. if u break on of the rules you are first warned and then if the problem persists you are asked to leave... velocity is checked and the refs are very helpful if any assistance is needed. i would advise everyone to check this field out! |

West End is a great feild!! People have been crying about the refs... (ur playing paint ball.. deal with it, its not the refs fault u got shot 5 times!! its the happy triggered person who shot u.) the refs could kick them out but then they loose bussiness.
Feild- They have a medium sized woods ball feild with bunkers all around and 2 tree forts.
They also have a speed ball feild made out of giant spools.. and recently they got an air ball feild.
Staff- The staff is great and very helpful... Ex. I went their and their werent enough people the use the woods ball feild. So we used the speedball feild instead. I never played speedball before and after the first game the ref gave me and my friends some tips.
All and all this feild is great!! |

Checked out this field because it was a special free day sponsered by X-fire. The whole place was chaotic and disorganizes. In the staging area you had people just shooting their guns into the woods all around you I was afraid to take my mask off. Safey didn't seem like it was a priority here. They also ran out of Nitro that day. The field is o.k. it's not very big but is has some good tree forts and bunkers, but playing on the same terrain over and over gets old. I would recommend going to Fox4 or Freindly Fire both of which have better fields, refs, staging areas, and concern for everyone's SAFETY. |

| Review: |
Ok... I was going to go to wolf hill but... i had a hard time finding it so when i called they said they werent open today. my dad said hey lets go to that west end place. we got there, and we went out back and paid. I will give you some examples why this field TOTALLY SUCKS. I walked around the corner when i got recycled, a guy hiding in my bunker shot me from 2 ft away. -EXAMPLE 2- A person on my team yelled HIT! and he was shot 5 times more. he was almost crying in pain because they do not enforce the velocity rules. My friend had offered a surrender and the guy surrendered then shot him in the throat and all the reff did was tell him to "stop it" They had only 1 reff trying to watch a whole wooded field. it just was not possible. there were people going out of bounds and people breaking the surrender rule, and then after someone finally spoke up they didnt even care.
This field was more about everyone wanting to do their own thing, and new people were just targets. steve, the guy that works there, whenever u forget to put ur barel plug in he says barrel plug barrel plug barrel plug barrel plug barrel plug barrel plug barrel plug until u finally put it in.
which is fine, but then, later team X-fire showed up, they started shooting their guns in the staging area, pointing them EVERYWHERE, NO BARREL PLUGS, and that steve guy and the reffs didnt do anything about it.| Last edited on Friday, June 25th, 2004 at 7:06 pm PST |

I have played at Waynes Weopenry. This is a great field to go and fool around at. There are no refs. Its just an open field that the owner of the gun shop lets u play for free back there. I have also gone to Fox 4 THIS WAS AWSOME!!!! UNBELIEVEABLE! GO THERE |

I went to West End about 3 times. The first time was OK because I havent been there before and i had an Ok time. The refs seem to be wicked mean to beginners, which I was at the time. The guy with the red mask is wicked kool. He helps u out a ton and loves the newbies. The other refs dont do much. It;s very boring after the second time. It gets old and the forts are not changed. If you are in a fire fight and get hit the refs dont help u off. You are suppose to get out urself yelling hit. I got hit like 7 times once before the guy stopped shooting even though I was yelling HIT! the refs kinda just sit and talk. If you like extreme fire fights and dont mind gettin shot 12 times before u can get out safely then go to this great place. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOX 4 INSTEAD! They do have some pretty intese games but the refs are the worst. |

| Review: |
i have been to west end paintball 2 times. the first time was great, because it started raining and everybody went home and a few stayed.
when i went the second time, my friend who refs, let the paintball store managers play and they were shooting like 350 fps.... i went to bunker one of the store workers while he was reloading and he started shooting at me through their twiggy bunkers and he shot me like 9 times after i yelled hit... i had bruises for about a month. the field itself is an alright field, but the people stink, all regulars, you can byop or buy their lame paint for 140$ a case. half a case is like $75. BYOP if you decide to go. i have heard bad stuff about the guy who runs the field.... go to wolfhill in leicester/auburn area. the people are awesome there, its 10$ admission, 6$ all day air, BYOP or buy their broball platinum for $60 a case, and they have a little shop and the manager fixed my marker for free....... so, imho, west end paintball deserves a 3 just for being an alright field, but other than that it stinks. wolf hill paintball beats west end by a long shot |

Great field to play at...
The staff although very friendly are very immature and yell / hollar during gameplay (minus one star).
The field itself is very enjoyable, especially when in small teams.
My advice when playing: when starting on the right side of the field, walk along the left flank, this will give great cover and will lead you to behind enemy lines (great for capture the flag and football).
Have fun, and if you get the blonde refferee with the red JT mask, he'll help you out (give you great spots to hideout and such) if you ask him nicely... :D |

West End has a medium size wood rec ball field and a nice speedball field surrounded by netting. The staff is very friendly and they are fairly safety conscious, although they could demand more chrono checks, but that's not unusual. I had a similar experience to one of the other reviewers. I went once on a lightly attended day and some of the staff played with us. They were shooting way hot and I wound up with very bad bruises that took a long time to heal. If you go, I suggest you wait to see if enough people show up to play before you pay to get in.
It's located a few miles out of Leicester center, on Route 9. There is no pro shop to speak of, but they do minor repairs, refills of all kinds. There's pizza lunch you can buy. Price is $20 for the day, self-equipped. BYOP or you can do the rental/field paint option. It's alittle hard to find, but look for the speedball course with spools in the field, surrounded by black netting. The wood field is behind the speed ball course, accessible by a rugged fire road. Park in the field near the porta-potty. I usually call the X-Fire Paintball shop in Auburn (508 721-003) for info on West End, they are loosly associated somehow.
Go to Fox4 instead. | Last edited on Tuesday, March 30th, 2004 at 3:05 pm PST |
