| Review: |
The field is very good, they have something for everyone. Between the speedball and the woodsball fields, i was always pumped to play there. But, with that said, the refs were terrible. They were lazy and didn't seem to want to do there job. I thought the airsmiths, etc. at the front desk were very good and very friendly. My main problems were the refs and other players, particularly some of the speedball players. Not the best refs, great field. The prices were okay, it's not something most people could afford to do daily but it's fun every month or so. |

Most of it is amazing. The fields are well kept. Service is excellent. The hours of operation, however, could be modified a little. The staff is always helpful. The only other thing that could be fixed is offering food - at least a hot dog or something - and some kind of latrine. The proshop is only at the west field, so I haven't had a chance to check it out. Otherwise, I highly recommend this field.
EDIT:
I forgot to add something. Having to pay at the Gibralter toll booth is kind of irritating, but hey watcha gonna do?| Last edited on Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 at 10:17 am PST |

The field is located right on the property of the Gibraltar Trade Center in Mt Clemens. Drive through Gibraltar's main gates and they're on the left hand side of the parking lot. |

Just played out at the Lone Wolf East field last weekend with a few of my buddies and had a great time. Now through the end of March they are running a winter time special so everyone gets membership pricing. With the special it was only $20 for BYOP and all day air (nitro or CO2). If you need to rent equipment, with the special it is free. All you have to do is buy paint there.
One of the guys out there told me though that on Saturday March 31st from 10-4 they are holding their annual Work Day. He said if you work for the day you'll get a free one year membership so you can get discounted playtime, air, paint, and 10% off at their pro shop in Macomb all year round. I've done it the past few years and let me tell you, it is totally worth it! He said the next day, Sunday April 1st is their official opening day for the new season. Games will be every Saturday and Sunday from then on out from 11-5.
I've been playing out there the past few years and always have a great time. There's always a good crowd of regulars and the staff there is really cool. They're always in a good mood and like to mess around but are still strict with the safety rules. |

This was my first time at lone wolf east and it was pretty fun. I STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU DONT GO HERE DURING EARLY SPRING WHEN ALL THE SNOW MELTS EVERYTHING FLOODS. a group of 10 friends and i went to go play there but only one of the fields was open and it was "the villiage". it was a nice field good layout and everything but it was too muddy. Paint is expensive, refs are strict about safety but overall it is a good time. |

Pros
The desk people are great.
They will help you out with anything.
They have great personalitys
There are about 5 different feilds to play one
The Refs are ok
When your on the feild they will check every time you ask for a paint check but mostly sit on the side of the feild
They are very strict
You can bring your own paint
There are players of all skill level there from about Rookie to sometimes divison 2 and 3 when my teams there lol
Cons
Sometimes the back 2 feilds are flooded
When you buy paint from them its kind of expensive
There proshop is not the greatest but its not at the feild any way |

| Review: |
The desk people are horrible. I couldnt believe how they flshfilled my tank broke 2 o-rings and had me pay for them. The refs are super lazy. They didnt even come ref on the field they stood behind the fence. As the they explained the rules of how to surrender someone, 2 games later they walked right upto to some1 and shot him point blank in front of the ref!I had an ok time but not great at all. |

behind Gibralter trade center, just pay 2 dollars at the toll booth to get in and then go straight, there will be a green wooden shack where you pay, buy paint, and get your tanks refilled |

| Review: |
pros:
price for play and all day air
guy who usually works at the green shack
there are guys of all skill levels that go there so either way you'll probaly improve your game
you can bring your own paint
cons:
fields sometimes flood
no pro shop at field, its at i think like 21 mile and Gratiot
no way to get water or food
only run on the weekends
paint is kind of price
EDIT: a couple weekends ago i played there and the refs held a grudge against me and a couple of other players because we accidently shot him because he didnt look like a ref, he then told the other players where we were | Last edited on Wednesday, April 4th, 2007 at 5:23 pm PST |

This field is a pretty good field if your not to picky about certain stuff and just wanna play.
Pros:
Refs are nice
Multiple fields to play on.
Nice staff.
Very Helpful
Very strict about rules.
Cons:
Only one I can think of is fields get flooded sometimes.
And for the people who complain about nowhere to sit. They let you sit on the tables that you leave your stuff on while you play. There is a bench on the side of the shed that you can sit on. |

It's in the parking lot behind gibralter trade center. Just pay the $2 to to get in the lot and head straight, and you'll notice it. There is a big green shack and you can see the airball / speedball / woodsball hybrid thing. |

| Review: |
I played paintball for the first time here and i liked it. There were a lot of different feilds to play at. They had a feild that was similar to speedball, but there were only a few inflateable bunkers. The rest were barrels, wooden fences, etc. The nest feild was called the village, which is also similar to speedball, except there were houses you could go in instead of fences. Then they have the ravine, which is basicly the same as the village except there is a HUGE ravine on the side of it. You slide down it for 15-20 feet and then follow a path of bunkers, out of view of the rest of the players, until the path curves up behind the enemy starting point. That is probably the best feild they have.
The last feild is called the Jordan (or something like that) and it is pretty big, it has a more woodsball feel to it. (lots of trees, houses with multiple floors, ambush paths, etc)
The velocity rules are 285 with a 5-10fps tolerance I belive. They don't really enforce the velocity rule very much, which bothers me. When you first come in, a ref asks if you've been here before. If you haven't , they take you on a safety tuturial of the feild. Then you go pay, get your rental gun, or paintballs, or whatever (which brings me to another point, they have Bring Your Own Paint, as long as it isn't pink red or staining fill)
Then you go to your table-like thing (with no chairs) and get your gear together. They don't allow barrel plugs, and they're very strict about you ALWAYS having your barrel bag on until 10 seconds before the game starts. The feild is in general very safe, except for the velocity thing.
My only real problems with the feild were:
The ref's...some of them are lazy as hell. There's 2 of them i know, ones name is some sort of mexican thing, and one's nickname is poptart.
It smells like total **** there, seeing how it is near some sort of waste management thing.
the prices are as follows:
paint: members price: $40 (stinger paint)----$50 non members
rental: $35 for tippmann 98 custom, mask, barrel cover, 250 paintballs and 20 oz c02
BYOP and gear: $20 for non members-----$15 for members
overall it's a nice feild, I've never been to a different one besides Ultimate Paintball Chalenge, but thats indoor speedball.
EDIT:
I forgot to add some stuff:
one other bad thing is they fill your tank in 2 seconds, blowing your O-rings most of the time. No worries though, most of the time they'll replace em if they do.
I've heard they're getting a new speedball feild, but i haven't heard much on it.
Lastly, the speedball-like feild is closed for the rest of the year, meh
