This is a good field. It has a 10 man connected airball field but its better for 5 to 7 man. It is a good setup for airball including exact mirrors on both sides. The hyperball pipe field is changed now and has a more speedball like setup with a rolly side and a snake side. The woodsball fields are excellent for woodsballers and speedballers alike combining woods and bunkers for an excellent combination. You should definitely try it out.

The name of the field is changing to predator paintball also and they will be moving with in the year. I used to play here about a year ago and just went back this week. The field is run down but still playable. They also have a small rc car set up now. The two speed ball fields are ok but i didn't like how they were set up. The junk yard is good if you have a lot of people to play. The castle is good but again you need a lot of people to make a good game out of the field. The ref that was there was very nice and helpful, the manager was very nice and helpful as well. I can't wait for them to move to the new location to see what it will be like when they set up the new fields. Until then i think i will go else were. |

This field wasn't very good at all. There were no judges, the chrono was not enforced, you do not have to use the field paint (but I did, it was about 1 step above brass eagle), and multiple players were consistenly using full-auto and ramp modes of fire. Don't waste your time, I heard Tyndall AFB is better or maybe Niceville if you can manage the drive.| Last edited on Monday, December 3rd, 2007 at 11:28 am PST |

I think this field sucked. First time I was there I went through a "training thing" that didnt realy help. But thats not what sucks, the reffs that day were told how to reff that day right before we started playing and they were all under 14 years old with no paintball expieriance what so ever. Another problem was that during some tournaments they over filled CO2 cans and they blew will just sitting there. My brother got his air tank filled up and the guy filling it broke the glass around the regulator and didnt say one thing about it just gave my brother his tank back and whent on with his own buisness. The fields arent too bad, they are descent, but not descent enough to make me go back... ever. So I would give this place a 3 out of 10 I just realy dont like them and would strongly sugjest going to dothan survival games it is worth the drive, it is money better spent deffinitly. |

The guys who run this place are nice and have good intentions but because of Florida's interest rates rising due to hurricanes their prices are going up and these guys may go out of business soon. It's sad but that's how the American economy works.
This place was good because you could bring your own paint! I had a bunch my friend had sold me for cheap but couldn't be used at Niceville because they are city-run and really strict. They had a lot of equipment and nice guns in the shop. They know their way around the guns and know how to fix any problems, they really know what they are doing.
The field definately needs some maintenence, sections of nets blowing in the wind, some sections completely gone, and the once-great air ball field was pretty much destroyed due to Florida's mean weather. The hyperball was fun but could use a lawn-mowing, it slows you down if you don't know the exact level of terrain you are running on. The castle field was a blast, lot's of well-placed bunkers and.... A CASTLE!!! There is really thick wood options with little muddy ditches and clear lanes with wooden and plastic bunkers, inside the castle is a fair amount of room with windows and a mock second floor that will allow you to shoot over the top. The "Junkyard" was by far the funnest, there are broked cars, walls, giant crates, a small patch of woods, some cool plastic complex in the middle, awesome!
The other players all had pretty good manners and were fun to share stories with. They were fair players and nobody cheated all day.
The refs weren't so good. They would mostly be playing while supervising the game they were playing in. I personally disagree with this. At one point some new players arrived that had never played before. One of the refs gave a seminar about the rules, including the "don't shoot within 20 feet rule", the same ref that shot me twice point-blank, didn't apologize, and I was even man enough not to shoot back at the guy who was staring down my barrel, apparently "surrender" to him means "turn around and shoot me please!" I disagree with referees not enforcing, or even following their own rules. I understand part of the game is getting shot point blank, but this guy told us not to, and that was just disgusting. |

this place is pretty cool. unfortunately dont go on a weekday or u and yer buddy will be standing from noon till six shooting at targets and throwing squadbusters at yourselves . they have 4 fields , hyper pipe field , airball , castle and the junkyard. they have paint , gatorades+energy drinks , and all your paintball needs on the spot . A box of paint is sixty five , standard for decent diablo paint , 10 for field usage and 10 for all day air , so be prepared to easily spend 90 bucks for a day of paintball . they have a staff that will gladly help ypu , and dont worry if your tippmann or old spyder brakes , they have all the parts there and they'll fix it . There items are overpriced at times ........................... well all the time . who wants to pay 130 for a 45 cu tank . if your going to play here bring your own paint from sports authority for 50 bucks and just pay the 20 for air and field and you'll be all set . the ups- friendly staff , all your needs , always stocked , good time .the downs- either way to many peeps or not enough , not enough refs , some guys dad lets people come in when you are walking to the other side and when we go we dont know who's on are team anymore , cheap -ol - bob who throws you out when you shoot his bronco thingy when its parked in the middle of a field (lol) , trash everywhere , dirty bunkers , lotsa paint sitting around , smoking , peeps with thousand doller guns trying to bet a bag of paint with a 7 year old with a tippmann rental , and overpriced . even though this is a lame place at times it can be really fun with your friends . and its the only place around . so if you dont like it , you have to travel an hour to go play . 7 out of 10 . sell your stuff on ebay dont bring it here and trade it in . for 600 bucks of stuff youll get 250| Last edited on Tuesday, July 26th, 2005 at 6:25 pm PST |

Ok so this field is pretty desent. its kinda run down and not in the best of shape but there are several fields to play on. the speedball field is kinda dinky and one side has an extreme advantage as far as stands up and what not go. the hyper ball field is the black pipes its pretty fun but kinda small it would probnably be better for speedball than the speedball field is. Theres this field they call the junkyard. its by far the best field as far as having some sort of mobility and what not this field is nice for larger groups its almost like being in a city i gueess you couold say . theres run down cars tall "building like" boxes ...its fun. theres this field called the casle its pretty cool i never played tho. ON the caste field theres three "attack points" where you siege the castle from (the castle is a plywood square type thing with holes in it to shoot out of...haha. hmm the pro shop tho is pretty decent kinda small but not tooooo small. they have some decent guns there, pods, packs, balls, and whatever really you need i guess...the guys who work there are VERY nice they will help you out no problem and even let you test some of the guns they have for sale which is pretty cool. Um the paint is 50 for rec, 60 for premium, 70 for tourny grade, all day air for CO2 is 7...hpa or h2 was a little more i think.
if you live inbetween panama city and niceville go to niceville the woodsball field and speedball fields are both nicer and the paint is cheaper annnd its draxxus which i like more...we have a 45 min drive to panahandle paintball and a 40 min drive to niceville so its a toss up which one we go to.....oh and there are a LOT of noobs at panhandle atleast on fridays haha church groups and what not...niceville is the rich kids park which means the kids have limitless money which means they can play alot more and are better and have nicer guns...but the BEST players in the area are no doubt from pangandle paintball ive seen them play in tournys and they dominate. ok im outta here.

My overall view of this field is that it has alot of potential and what i hear has done a lot already. the first day i played it was me and 3 other people. we played the hyperball field, which i dont like hyperball fields much anyway, and we played the air field. the hyperball field was ok but as soon as the air field was blown up we were on there the rest of the day. i loved that field and also the way it stayed up all day. im not used to it staying up because the fields down here in south florida arent one piece and they dont stay up long. the second time i went out we could only play the castle field because hurricane arlene came through the day before and they had all the nets down. i even thought about leaving because i hated woods but this field was actually fun. it was me the four same people from a few days before (members of my family) and three other people who showed up. i give panhandle a 9 out of 10 only because the arent organized but like said in the other reviews they have a pretty nice proshop with some sweet guns. |

The field is larger than others i have used, fairly large. My personal favorite is the castle in the woods, it is great for CTF and Attack games.
Good:
Well stocked store.
Large field (40+ Acres)
Great areas (Castle, Woods, Junkyard, Speed Ball, Air Ball, Etc.)
Cheap prices
Bad:
Store is cramped
Field is dirty (trash everywhere)
Not always people there

I played at this field my first time in february. i am 14 and from bainbridge, ga and when my family got to panhandle paintball to play, i felt very nervous as i did not know anyone there. the staff was great, and some of the guys asked me if i wanted to play with them, well 6 hours later my mom had to tear me off the fields. i had a blast. can't wait to go there again. |
