I've been into paintball long enough to know what I like. I enjoy paintball in any outdoor field, which gives that rush of the hunt feeling. Unfortunately, in California, there seem to be very few of these types of fields available.
I decided to man up and drive up from San Francisco to give this field a shot. It was hot and dry up there, but it's normal for the area. Easy registration and reasonable priced for self-equipped players makes this very comfortable field to go to. Self-fill stations for HPA players. This field actually has a lot to get you started playing, so you don't really have to worry much.
The field size: This is a ridiculously huge field! Flanking a defending team is almost like a hike! And there's practically every thing you find in a wooded field and I definitely recommend a good pair of boots. With the heatwave in the area, breathable clothing is even more important. Bring lots of water!!
The other players here are respectable. I assume most of them are local players. I haven't seen anyone wiping or doing something nasty, so that's always a good thing when playing a fair game.
One thing to point out. Because of the field size, the refs will hold breaks on the field itself instead of walking back to the staging area. That means they'll gather everyone together, make certain that all markers are plugged and put to safe, and then have everyone remove their goggles for a breath of fresh air and water. I like this a lot since it's hard to get a good circulation of fresh air into your goggles sometimes and this helps prevent heat stroke.
If I live in the area, this would be my home field. So many variables and tactics to play around with and the staff are awesome! Definitely stands out among every other field in the bay area in all aspects! read more
