looks like a cool concept. I'll have to try it out. I live in canton and there arn't many good places to go around here. Have you ever heard of the monster game in Michigan? If not check it out at exoticsportz.com

I play in euclid, well I used too every sunday, but ive gotten back into shooting on the weekends religiously. I actually sold the Nerve and Shocker to get a new Rem 870 and the AR15, and had change left over to deck them out.

I'll have to check out this field, looks great. The pic immediately reminded me of the Monster Game.

the monster game was just this past weekend I believe, or was it the week b4? I went 2 years in a row, but havent been there for the past 2. The best time Ive ever had with the sport, hands down. Nothing like 3 or 4,000 people in attendance.

I'll be more free in the fall so if youre xtill playing at that field, maybe I can meet you there and we can throw some paint at one another

I play paintball infrequently. Either on family property in Georgia (my grandparents have 180 acres of woods) or when my friends and I occasionally set up game at a paintball field down here. I have a Tipman A-5. I love that cyclone feeder and it is pretty accurate too with barrel I have on it.

Interesting...

I've been thinking about this for a while, is there an age limit to who can play? I would love to do this with my son, but he's only 10. Any "father/son" type games?

No age limit. My dad has played with my brothers and I before. That was when I was in high school. He was probably 45ish. I've seen plenty of middleaged guys playing though they are far outnumbered by teenagers. It is a very fun game, I think every guy should try it at least once.

I love playing, but find to hard to find people who want to play the style that I play, which is military tactics. Such as, fields of fire, guerrilla warfare, kill zones, one shot, one kill, go for the head shot, etc....
No offence to any ‘pro-players’ out there, but I’ve had a lot of bad run in’s with this type. Especially at home in. The ones I’ve met tend to be the military rejects, that have a grudge, against those of us in the military. They tend to talk a lot of trash, and only want to play on their terms, and never show up when challenged.

There is a group of us in Licking county. We play woods ball, and mix it up with teams, tactics, objectives, etc... There are usually several children in on some of the games ranging in age from around 10 and up. No speedball, all private property, no fee, lot's of fun. :D
