The people here are so nice. Very good people. We don't live out here but every time we come we use this paint ball course. I think they are way more friendly just nice people. This place is super fun Very decent pricing for sure

THIS WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER. In a day when you can't talk to people I was able to speak to the sweetest lady ever. She was so patient with me and all my questions. Then when I thought it couldn't get any better,We came with about 15 people. It was our first time. Here comes Jason with such great energy. I mean the guy was the coolest. You have to understand with COVID going on, businesses have lost their customer service skills . They talk to you like it's your fault things are bad , not at paintball USA. Everyone who worked there were kind and good people. I will be back with all our children we mentor. Please go if you want to have fun but still be safe during COVID. Please check them out.

So much fun!

Love this place! We come once a yr since we are from Whittier. Everyone is super friendly, and is exciting to enter the fields and blow off some steam!

We had a lot of fun. April was very patient making our party date (I changed it three times), and they seem to have a good system there, in getting players playing in a timely manner. I realize that these people tell hundreds of guests the same exact thing over and over again, which would get monotonous...but they are patient and tell it fresh every time. The big guy at the top of the hill for private parties scares the crap out people, but he just has a very dry witty, sarcastic kind of guy. Pretty funny, if you ask me. They have NO FOOD OR WATER...so bring it with you. seriously. You will get dehydrated and hungry fast.

Best paintball place hands down in the Los Angeles area we called 2 other places prior to get a reservation for 6 people for the next day an everyone was just so rude an made it clear ohh we we would not be able to play as a family which is the entire point of going the old lady who answers the phone at paintball USA is the most genuinely sweet person made it a great an fun experience I called her a day prior she said they were very busy I let her know I was visiting from out of state an she found a way to squeeze us in as promised if your going to do paint balling I suggest u come here if u want a fun experience an not have to deal with people who look at u as just another customer

On of our friends....

Paintball USA (formerly Close Encounters) has come a long way. When I first started, we were playing the 1-Field Close Encounters years ago off the 14 and 5 freeway off the Old Road. Now the owner, Mike (He's awesome btw), owns Paintball USA that bolsters I think 12 fields (8 fields up top on the hill and 4 tournament ball fields down below). Mike and his staff from the manager with the bull horn to their young refs all made our private group (28 players in all) outing enjoyable. The staff, even though they were young, were knowledgeable, professional and knew how to run the games and fields. Even though they were busy running the public and private groups, they still took the time to come up and check on us if we needed anything. The in between games were a bit slow and I would only suggest Paintball USA to hire a couple more refs for busy days. The prices are mid-range and a paintball outing isn't something cheap. Maybe a lower fee for self-equiped players. Fields are in great condition, plenty of parking up top, they have a small hot dog/burger cart for lunch. Our private group will definitely be back again for another outing. Keep up the good work and professional staffing. Mike even drives around on his ATV to check up on the different customers, just like a good owner would do.

I love this place but their gear and guns suck .... first of all the guns are paint wasters .... I had to fill up on gas after every round , and on top of it I changed my gun twice , everyone else guns kept jamming on them too.... it's super fun and friendly but these lil kids were all cheating .... shoot I wouldn't blame them they got their behinds whooped by us ... we threw our bachelor Vs bachelorette party here , best decision ever

Stay Away from this business . You've been warned. Mike has…read moresome serious Shady business practices. I was warned by others, I didn't listen now I'm 1 gun short. Today 1/7/24, I was going to pick up my HPA fully upgrade AK only to find out that it's missing, also my redline regulator for Daytona and a aeg battery. The explanation Mike gave me is that if a job he worked on has been there for over at least a couple years, he discards/boneyards it after making multiple attempts to contact owner. First, this was never disclosed to me when I brought in 4 items for repairs, he "victims blames" me by laying the fault on me for leaving the gun too long. The person who told me not to go to him says he takes his time with the repairs, I was in the impression that this is normal and same reason I haven't heard from them. Airsoft was in a hiatus since Warped OPs burned down 18 months ago, I get his point but I'm not unreasonable, I was expecting to pay storage fee or whatever he wants to charge me for that. There was never an attempt to contact me about my items, I never changed my number and have the same number for years and I work in healthcare working with multiple health care professionals. I simply don't miss phone calls. The job is not over 2 years ago, see tag, he keeps on changing on how long he keeps an item in storage, started from 6 years and worked his way down to 2 years. Lastly, the only item I got back today is my krytac drum mag that he deems "beyond repair". Mike's reasoning is extremely faulty because of all the items, the drum mag would be the perfect candidate for trash/boneyard. He claims that once his shop contacts the owner, they right something behind the back of the tag. Mine is blank. I wouldn't be surprised if Mike sold my items. It just doesn't make sense to throw the "repaired" items and keep the boneyard ones, plus it's a quick sell. Stay away, do yourself a favor. Learn from my mistake, this guy is a scum and this is the confirmation.i

With that said, once inside, they do a great job of stocking as much as possible given that this is a slightly smaller Big 5 location than others. I always make a point of coming to this location first because chances are checkout lines will be shorter and then if they don't have what I'm looking for I go up the street to the Granada Hills location. Staff here is also very friendly. They tend to only be at the register and aren't wandering around the store a ton, but I've also never really needed help finding things as the store is very well laid out and intuitive. Prices are fine. Nothing amazing, but they're better priced than other big box sporting good store chains so, once again, this is always our first stop for gear for our 3 growing kids & their youth sports gear. If you give them your email you'll get a weekly email with some good deals that often are catered to whatever sport season is about to start as well which I greatly appreciate. If not, chances are you'll get a coupon in the mail for 20% off or $5 off a purchase of $20 or more. So always keep an eye out for one of those if you know you are going to need to buy anything.

She was super friendly and helpful and also answered the questions we asked. I really appreciate her showing how to use it too. The prices over here at Big 5 and their products are always well worth it in my opinion. I really appreciate the lady behind the counter and the cashier Beth for also assisting me!!

While other staff were accommodating and welcoming, after being asked by Mikey (who was very kind)…read moreif we "needed any help" we were, what I can only describe as accosted, by who I presume is the manager of the establishment (tucked in dress shirt, older, noticeably hiding agitation) He burst through the a door behind us and barely hiding his suspicion, in a stern tone said "do you guys need any help?" at us after we were attempting to realign a product we knocked over. Mind you, we were carrying product that we purchased shortly after but for whatever reason this gentleman found it necessary to march out and essentially throw a thinly veiled accusation at us. It's very clear he thought we were attempting to shoplift and without valid reason. I implore that this person do better in the future. I won't be returning to this store and will be telling others about my experience here.

They did not have any leadcore line and had very limited choices of needle fish. We are right in the middle of fishing season and it would be nice to see a sporting good's store with a decent amount of inventory.

This store is located in a large shopping center with plenty of parking even though it is a busy parking lot.
