Switching games up and the variety of players that come to the field also I've been playing there for a few years

Great area to play airsoft ive had good times here for the past three years good atmosphere

The best! 30 acres of fun. Best if you come with your own gear. Rentals aren't the best but par for the course.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_MQZKZxWg8 (I made this little video of our preparation for the day and this is just the parking lot, feel free to feel) As a prelude, i would like to say : This is 2019. last couple of years haven't been easy for almost everybody financially. Probably those who have to care for tanks and army antique vehicule collection too. This place apparently raised their price but i can understand why when i first arrived on location. My two good friends, my girlfriend and i experienced Panther field last saturday for my good friend's birthday (5th of october 2019). My girlfriend had her own gear so it was free for her (good looking rule). Since i'm a CAF Veteran it was supposed to be free as well but i paid the 30$ because i wanted to, the parking lot impressed me enough so far to be paying the 30$. You pay around something like this for a Museum to see some stuff not moving. I had more fun than what you can get out of 30 bucks even in 2012 (we all should know that real good is free). I felt like 6yo when i saw the FIRST tank ride by. They have a couple of working T-LAV (Canadian version of M113 tracked light armoured vehicule, same thing i served with in my Afghanistan mission 1-09). We all agreed that it was a wonderfull day, the kind of place where weather doesn't do much on your definition of a ''wonderfull day''. I'll go back again, and again ! read more

See all

I've been playing at Panther for years, just recently been doing airsoft here. Rental is expensive as hell, definitely really offputting to new players, but for owners its pretty decent. You can use your own BBs now. read more

Awesome time, staff are amazing and friendly! 10/10 recommended to come try some airsoft out, be warned it is addictive...

The first thing we saw when we drove in was a collection of trailers around some farm buildings (and a llama). (My friends keened for the sound of banjos.) The second thing we saw as we pulled into the parking lot were crowds of dudes in camo gear and helmets, packing their personal paintball guns - known as "markers" to enthusiasts. We said, "We are going to get killed in here." Metaphorically speaking, of course. The occasion being marked, ha ha, was my husband's 40th birthday. Take him out in the woods and shoot him. If you book in advance for a birthday group of at least five people, they let the birthday person in free and give him/her 100 free paintballs. Which isn't a whole lot for the trigger happy, but if you also go on a Sunday, buying paintballs is also cheaper. I think we were all marked for death in our rental gear - grey coveralls, relatively wimpy guns, and goggles/face shields that frequently fogged. One young squire, outfitted in blue with his air canisters strapped around his waist and a shiny, unscratched face shield saw me trying to unfog my mask between games and gave me an enthusiastic speech on the importance of owning one's one gear. Um, yeah, junior, you haven't seen me shoot yet, have you? Anyway, it was nice getting some friendly paintball chat in with a decided regular of the establishment. Panther Paintball's facility had a number of different playing fields, but not much variety in games other than "two teams line up at either end of the field, hide behind stuff, and shoot at each other." When the refs asked if people wanted to change up the rules, we all said, "Yeah!" And the change turned out to be switching sides of the field. I could hardly see what I was shooting at due to the mask, especially during the second rounds of games, but I'm proud to say I did manage to pick at least one person off in a shooting match, and only a couple in friendly fire incidents. (Sorry camo dudes!) Though it was all business on the battlefield, on the whole, Panther Paintball had a very friendly vibe, from the staff who enthusiastically shined up my mask after it got splattered in paint to the general joshing around over Gatorade and stretching between rounds in the neutral zone. It was a really great way to spend a birthday even if our group's average age was nearly twice that of any other group there. One last thing: if you want to see something scary at Panther Paintball, be sure to visit the washroom. Terrifying. read more

Anything goes at Panther. (I've played here ~5 times and have a membership) - Refs start and stop games, but little else. I've never seen a ref do a paint check or order a hit player off the field. - Time between games is ~25 - 40 minutes. Games last ~10-15 minutes. You will be sitting around waiting quite a bit. - Hit players often play on, wiping off the hit. (aka 'wiping') - Players shoot 5+ balls per volley, so expect to get hit quite a few times. (aka 'over shooting') (I suspect the over shooting is largely a reaction to how common wiping is. The thinking being that if the person is likely to cheat and ignore the hit, then hit them so many times they can't ignore it) - Stuff that isn't tobacco is smoked semi openly (sometimes by the ref). - Gun owners are never asked to demonstrate their guns are firing below the maximum allowed velocity. - Many fields, each is quite unique. - Lots of space. - Cheap paint (with membership) read more

Had bachelor party here last weekend. They have everything available for rental, guns/overalls/masks. If you're driving here make sure you visit their website for a picture of the sign that's on the road that you'll totally miss if you don't know what it looks like. You drive through some dude's yard and a farm on the way to it but it's a pretty huge area once you get there. Friendly staff, were very accomodating for what kind of games we were going to play. Made sure the paintball newbies knew what was going on, but yet weren't super evil being rules nazis. I found a ton of more reviews here randomly when looking for the website. I'm not about driving traffic to other sites but chances are if you're here you want to learn about the specific business. http://www.pbreview.com/fields/reviews/158/ read more

What to say, top notch field and run with an eye to safety while still promoting fun and an overall good experience for people new to the game or out every weekend. Having made the transition from paintball to Airsoft I can say this. After buying your gear Airsoft is far cheaper in comparison. 1000 rounds Airsoft is 20$ 1000 rounds paint is 100$. Paintballs freeze, bb's don't so it's a truly year round game. The field itself is truly a monopoly in the lower mainland but it's not run that way. Pricing is fair when stacked up against Paintball which is the only real comparison that makes sense. The staff is incredibly helpful when it comes to helping you with your own equipment in the event of issues. The whole organization is geared towards making it approachable for anyone. Fair play is fostered and a strict eye towards rule violaters. If you remember the old Tsawwassen PBL field imagine this one even better. Safety and a good time is paramount not profit. You will not regret taking this place in. read more

Regarding the other review left in 2015 addressing the "lone warrior" approach to self sustained airsoft games, I have to say that due the increasing number of drop in and rental players along with massive amount of local teams that play at panther, the small crews that run their own games on weekends while 65+ people are trying to play organized scenarios REALLY gets annoying. If you want to go do your own thing with your buddies then Panther is not the right place for you, go take your walmart clear soft guns and play in your buddies back yard. If you want to come out and experience huge, fast paced games that bring experienced members, huge teams, renters and first timers together, then Panther is what you are looking for! You CAN bring your own BBs from out side or buy the ones at the field, if you bring your own there is a corkage fee (this is a business after all and the money earned DOES INDEED go back into the field, with constant new buildings and features being built and "map" re shaping) the community at panther is one of the best aspects of panther airsoft, not only do they know how to play a solid game of airsoft, but local companies like Omega ops airsoft, and Kodiak Simulations also run larger events leaning towards the experiences that most "hard core" airsofters are after (milsims) At the end of the day, a yelp review should NOT be what you base your opinion on, come out and play, get your hands dirty and experience what thousands upon thousands of people are crazy about! read more

Amazing, it's the only airsoft field in Vancouver and it's amazing, everybody should go there!!

This is honestly one of the best places ever. These other reviews don't make any sense. I'm 13 years old and everyone treats me like an adult. 100% would recommend!! read more

This field was one of the main reasons why I got out of airsoft after playing for over 6 years. From the old management who realized he could turn the game into a money grab and line his pockets, to the current management who raised the prices and still hasn't given its customers a true plan on what the increased income is going to do to the field. Unfortunately, this field almost has a monopoly in the GVRD. It has the biggest playing space, where the other fields cannot compete with its size. Before 2013, the owners and management let airsofters self-regulate and run their own games. Everything was fine and dandy and the airsoft community was self sufficient, helped develop the field on its own time and asked nothing in return. It was a large group of guys who ran sim based games and there was never any large issues. Then the "Call of Duty" generation of youth heard about airsoft and wanted to play, thinking their gaming skills would transfer over into real life (you can't f#*king dolphin dive in real life). Well, the management at that time realized that he could make oodles of money off this generation of new players and welcomed them with open arms and open wallets. This caused the game to be tainted with a bunch of kids who wouldn't call their hits and who would full auto guys within the minimum engagement distance. The field did nothing to stop or regulate this, and therefore the game started spiralling downward. The field then realized that it could start making money by forcing airsoft players to buy BBs at the field, and not letting players use BBs that they bought elsewhere. The management didn't bring this up with the local airsoft club (LMAG) which had been loyally playing at the field for years. Of course this didn't sit well with LMAG, considering if the club had advanced notice of this, it could have actually helped the field bring upon a policy like this and help iron out the details. Instead the policy became a huuuuge flop and people still used outside BBs, since Panther hadn't really thought of a way to police this. Out of all this negativeness though, there stood one diamond in all of this roughness. That diamond was the staff that Panther had. Guys like Kyle and Elliot. Kyle gave countless hours of his time building and developing parts of the field with his own two hands and a shovel, and did such an amazing job at it that you would think that some sort of machinery did it. He was also very approachable and would always have an open ear to what the players wanted to see at the field. And Elliot was always approaching the senior/established players at the field and asking for their opinions and insight on the field. He was very open minded and would always take someone's word into consideration. I haven't dealt too much with the new management, but they raised the prices to a point where most people cannot fit it in the budget anymore. Before, most players could play every weekend of the month. Now, it's at a point where someone like myself who makes a good living wage could maybe play once a month. They have made loose promises of what the players might see in the future in regards to field development, but still haven't given an official word or timeline on what and when players might see. In summation, find another hobby or wait for a better field to open until this stuff sorts itself out. read more
