I normally play at my home field in New York. This was my first time at this field. I don't live in the area this field is located. |

| Review: |
I am novice player who has only played at about ten or so different fields. Out of those fields i would have to give this field a low rating. I was suprised by the lack of safety enforced. When i was on the field waiting for a game to begin, I had my mask on and my berrel bag on right up until the time the game was about to begin. This is the way I was taught and the safest way to insure no mistakes happen. Two younger gentlemen were at the other end of the field talking to the team we were about to play and I noticed they didnt have their masks on properly. So I went to them and asked them since there were people and markers on the feild that they put their masks on. I was told that it was o.k. for them not to have masks on because they were the refs. This to me is totaly unaceptable! I asked the ref about the kind of example that sets for the ten year olds waiting to play. In which his response was a huff and he finally placed his mask on his face properly. The fact that we played indoors was nice and the turf they had while being soaked with paint wasn't to slick. I had noticed that the bunkeres were alittle underinflated and were absolutly covered in paint. When I asked for a window squegee to clean the bunkers a bit I was asked "Where did i play paintball that they cleaned bunkers with a squegee". Well i found one myself in the staging area and began to clean bunkers myself. The overall play was good, the compatition was fair and i didnt notice any wippers or cheating going on which for me is important to having a good time. My last issue is with the tech staff. I had a tank filler nipple go bad on my high pressure air tank and went to buy a replacement which was marked $9.95. The clerk at the counter said it was mismarked and charged me $14.99. After i purchased it i asked to have it installed and was told that they dont work on Proto equipment. The tank was a standard High Energy 4500 psi 68 cubic inch tank. The only thing I can figure is that since my tank was still on my marker they weren't going to touch it since I wasn't shooting one of their Ego's. I tried to install the nipple myself only to realize it was the wrong nipple for my tank. When I tried to return the item then the tech wanted to do it for me. Only after he tried did i get my refund. The overall prices were good and I did enjoy myself but I would have to say that this was more because of the people that came with me then the feild or the staff itself. The field seemed understaffed but I must say that they did seem very busy. The facilities were nice and the bathrooms were clean, but I didn't notice any food avalible. |

you can go to the web site @ www.cobra command.com, and they have very strict safety rules, there are refs always reminding you to put on your barrel condoms. The fields they have are woods ball, and speed ball courses. They also have an X-ball field. They have many events that go on. they have events that the cash prize is 1200 these usually take place on week days. |

Safety - Safety is pretty well focused on here. Refs constantly remind players to put on barrel covers and such. Velocity is low at 270.
Fields - while there ar only three woods ball fields, they are all good, although i haven't played Deep Woods because it was flooded. Village is really good with lots of cover and about 5 towers. Many vantage points and good lanes for firing. Crater is right behind Village and has one tower and good cover. There are secret paths throughout this field, about two or three that are cut through bushes. Speed ball fields are npp7 standard.
Prices - prices are good if you have your own equipment, about 80 dollars for a day including entry, paint, and 1 refill of a 9 oz tank
Proshop - excellent proshop, many different types of guns and accessories. They sell jerseys and air soft guns as well. Grenades too.
Refs - refs are excellent, fair calls and fairly malleable with the games you wanna play. I had Dizzle and another one, don't remember his name. They were fair and asked what kinda games we wanted to play. They were cool.

Cobra Command is one of the oldest fields out there and was amazing until it was STOLEN from Norm. He put his life into that place just to have someone lie to him and steal it. I hope this place now bankrupts and ceases to exist. ITS NORMS NOT ANYONE ELSES. |

Skirmish- More expensive, really crowded, better woodsball. |

| Review: |
Safety- was 10/10, they had a people putting barrel covers on any gun they saw without them and continuously gave remminders.
Players- Most are nice but the sponsored team players can be a bit cocky and annoying. Unfortunatly between the team players and refs it really pulled grade down.
Refs- Most call a good game but 2 are a real, well you know.
Shop- The shop is really good with lots of things to buy. When I was buying half a case, the owner gave me a whole case for price of half. Hes a really cool guy.
Fields- The indoor speedball is actually really fun even though i was called out of a game b/c i was so covered in wet paint after a slide they couldnt tell if I was hit or not, heh. The outdoor speedball fields are incredibly good. The woodsball courses are alright.
Price- Entry I feel should be lower or should include all day air. Paint prices are good. I got half a case for free!
Final: Its a very good place to play at. Owner is extremely nice. Refs can really ruin the fun if they make fun of your gear b/c you dont own an SL66 ego for instance. Also thier team players can be jerks. Other than that I recommend it. Just ignore them or act creepy and keep them away like I did. I say try it. |

| Review: |
The first time I played at cobra command was really sweet, it was the first time my dad had ever gone paintballing, and for all the complainin he does about me obsessing over the sport, he had a really good time, as did i. The guy there is really nice and cuts you deals a lot. The refs there are pretty cool too, i had a bag of the same paint as the field that i brought from home and the ref let me use it. When we played in the woods the refs were pretty crappy but when we played on the nppl field, the only ref was all over the field making calls as i was shooting people out.
the fields there are really nice, they have like three woods ball fields and three or four sppedball fields. all of the speedball fields have astro turf and the bunkers are really nice, either nppl bunkers or sup'air bunkers
all of the guys there were really helpful with whatever i needed, whehther it was air, paint or food, they had everything i needed. Like after the third or fourth game on the speedball course, my barrel sock broke and so they sold me one for $3 instead of the usual 6 or 7 dollars
the hours are amazing, open til eleven on the weekends... its really nice being able to go at like 2 pm and stay til 10 pm. with out having to rush around
i would advice anybody that is close by (2 hours or less) to go to Cobra Command because the place is really nice, and you also have a chance of meeting some pros like arsenal, nyc revolution, ne hurricanes, etc. They are there a lot. Great field, great staff, great prices, great time. 10 of 10 |

This is my home field and what an amazing field it is. The 3 outdoor speedball courses are amazing, just like the ones the pros play on. There is always a few refs there and they are always helpful. The owner, Big John, is one of the greatest guys I have ever met. His prices are extremely fair, and if you pay in cash he gives a discount. Also the gun tech, Steve, is always helpful and can fix anything. The pro shop is extensive and provides a lot of guns and parts. All in all this field is amazing. |

| Review: |
Let's Just start... I've been playing paintball long before a lot of players today have been born. My first game was in 88' So I've been around the block. Watched this sport grow from nothing but guys in the woods, to speedball, to "Pro Teams" playing on television. So now my experience has been established I can begin with a criticism. I was a first timer there and was shocked to see the utter confusion. No one was available to explain were the fields were, so after waiting 90 mins. ( of playing time) to play indoor. was told that a "team" was practicing, I would have to go up to the upper fields to play. So once we hiked up to the upper fields. I noticed a lot of guys in Arsenal Jersey. OK, So was today a team Practice. Well I figured let's ask a ref how they rotate players into games. He stated we will have jump in with anyone. Well, everyone was a team not looking for walk-ons (Remember this a a critique not to be confused with bashing). So we were S.O.L. Ended up playing 2 on 2 with 2 other players who were in the same boat. With NO referee mind you. Yes you read that right no referee. In all my years never that was never even considered.
I've played all over the East Coast, Tourney's, Big Games Etc. never have I seen this many players on the field with MAYBE one referee. Who was not clearly Identified. The field has Potential to be a great place to play. Just remember your return player, becomes a regular customer. But no player wants to feel like a second class player behind "teams" I'm sure games could have be rotated in and out with a little more field staff. I would have to give this field a below average rating. Simply because of the lack of field staff. Maybe management was not aware of the situation, but now this is opportunity protect it's younger less experienced customers with more referees.
Thank you

| Review: |
The fields are very nice. I only played on the one speedball field, but I was very impressed. They had a wide variety of bunkers and the turf is amazing, very fun to slide on. It rained the night before, so the field was soaked, but it still held up and was in pretty good condition. The pro shop is down the hill a little so you pay there. The people were nice too. When I went there the Arsenal A or B team was playing on the other field and later we got kicked off of our field that we were playing on, which was kind of a dick move. I wasnt informed that they would be using the field that I was playing on. Not a big fan of Arsenal anyways. Their indoor field was under construction so I didnt see that. Prices are average I guess and the rules are about the same. Its fill your own air, which I like very much. I dont know what they do for CO2 though. I like the field a lot, just wish I had more time to play on it. |

Cobra is a nice place but recent expeirences have made me change my opion on it. Last time i was there they decided to sell me parts that didnt go to my gun and my friends and i were completley blown off by some of the staff. Dont get me wrong big john is cool and he cut u a deal here or there but other times some of the staff are idiots. An example would be them saying to me when i just bought a qev there they said it would take 45-1 hr to install it. It took me about 6 min but then i found out the sold me a bad product then didnt go to my gun and screwed up the tube. |
