WHAT'S NEW

THIS MIGHT SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU. YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS OR BUDDIES AT WORK ARE TALKING ABOUT GOING TO PLAY PAINTBALL. EVERYBODY IS EXCITED AND ALL AGREE, WE’RE GOING! THE BIG DAY COMES AND NOT EVERYBODY SHOWS UP AS PLANNED. WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME. ANOTHER SITUATION MIGHT BE, YOU AND A COUPLE OF YOUR FRIENDS JUST WANT TO GET OUT AND PLAY BUT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TO BOOK A FIELD TO YOURSELVES.

AS PAINTBALL PLAYERS WE HAVE BEEN THERE TOO.

AT BATTLEFIELD, WE PREFER TO BOOK GROUPS OF PEOPLE TOGETHER. DOESN’T MATTER THE SIZE OF YOUR “GROUP”. SOME OF YOUR FRIENDS DON’T SHOW, THERE WILL BE OTHERS THERE TO PLAY WITH. THE THREE GUYS THAT DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS TO BOOK THE FIELD THEMSELVES NOW HAVE A FIELD TO PLAY AT. THIS TAKES AWAY THE HASSLE OF GETTING EVERYBODY TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME. SOME OF YOUR FRIENDS CAN’T MAKE IT THIS TIME, THERE IS ALWAYS THE NEXT.

I KNOW SOME OF YOU WOULD LIKE A PRIVATE GROUP. YOU MIGHT BE UNSURE ABOUT WHO YOU ARE PLAYING WITH. THE TRUTH IS, YOU ARE PLAYING WITH OTHER PAINTBALL PLAYERS, LIKE YOURSELF. THEY RANGE FROM THE “FIRST TIME” PLAYER TO THE GUY THAT SHOWS UP JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEKEND, GUYS, GIRLS, ALL AGES. WE SEE IT EVERY GAME DAY. THE DIFFERENT “GROUPS” STANDING AROUND, CHECKING OUT THE OTHER “GROUPS” AS THEY ARRIVE, NOT TO SURE. ONCE THAT FIRST GAME GETS GOING, THAT’S ALL FORGOTTEN. IT ALL BECOMES ONE BIG GROUP VERY QUICKLY. PEOPLE LAUGHING AND COMPARING WAR STORIES AFTER EACH GAME.

SOME MIGHT BE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT MIXING WITH OTHER GROUPS MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO BE UP AGAINST “PRO’S” AND THEY ARE GOING TO PUNISH EVERYBODY THAT DARES SHOW THEIR HEADS. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. FIRST, WE GET VERY FEW TOURNAMENT PLAYERS DURING THE WHOLE YEAR AND THE ONES THAT DO SHOW UP, ARE THE MOST GENTLEMANLY PLAYERS. MOST OF THESE PLAYERS STARTED OUT PLAYING PAINTBALL ON FIELDS LIKE OURS AND HAVE RESPECT FOR THE GAME. YOU WILL FIND ALMOST ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS VERY HELPFUL AND GIVING GOOD ADVICE TO INEXPERIENCED PLAYERS. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THESE PLAYERS.

IN THE YEARS BATTLEFIELD HAS BEEN OPERATING, I CAN TELL YOU THAT ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE ARE UNHAPPY WITH MIXING WITH OTHER GROUPS AFTER SPENDING A DAY WITH US. WE APPRECIATE THERE EFFORT FOR TRYING,BUT WE ESTIMATE THAT MORE THAN 95% OF THE OTHER PLAYERS ARE QUITE HAPPY FOR THE WAY THEIR DAY TURNED OUT. SO MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS TELL US EVERY GAME DAY, THEY ARE PLANNING ON RETURNING.

ALL THAT BEING SAID, WE WILL MAKE PRIVATE BOOKINGS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS IF THE SCHEDULE ALLOWS.

FEEL FREE TO CALL US IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS. WE WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU.
