Been going here for 15 years and I’m sad to say. I will no longer be going here. The management and staff are the standard for WORST employees ever. First game, 1 min in, I start racking up kills and the ref moves my position cause it’s too OP. Game control, I get it. He puts me in a spot where I get pushed and trade with someone point blank. The ref couldn’t call a person out that I shot point blank (NO MED) and the ref was standing 10 feet say from me. I shot him once to be nice cause there no minimum engagement distance. I called my self out and he said, “you never got me I would’ve felt it”. This dude had a plate carrier on, how stupid can you be? I turned to the ref and ask him what’s the verdict. He said, “I would’ve seen it, you’re out”. I was so furious I walked off the field and said “thanks guy that’s where I leave”, I was talking about leaving that game. Keep in mind, this was the VERY FIRST GAME. the ref replied “so you have one problem and you’re guna leave? Alright, hope you have a nice drive” in a very sarcastic tone. This continued all day. Same person wouldn’t call hits and when they got hit they would complaint about blind fire or I shot you first so your out NOT me. I try to come and have a good time but this place has really gone to the dump. Everything is too expensive. I paid $50 for a lower face mask cause I forgot mine. Absolutely ridiculous. Same person wouldn’t call hits and refs wouldn’t do anything. I had to shoot the person 10x until they would actually call their hits. I don’t wanna be that guy but that what this place is… This place is a joke. I’ll be going to code red for now on.
pretty good refs. we started a tad bit late in a private party for airsoft since a couple of our buddies came late, but they gave us additional time. although we kinda took up a lot of time during intermissions and breaks the ref was cool and patient. would go again with my buddies + ref liked dr pepper cream sodas a lot
Spent a number of birthdays here whenever I’m in town for the last 20 years! The new owner Todd is a great guy I came with a big group and he gave me a free upgrade! Will be back around this summer!
We love this place. Husband and I come with 2-6 kids with us and they all have a blast. The youngest being 8 years old. The people we play against are usually super cool; I’m always surprised how my son doesn’t usually get shot 🤣 refs will say like “we have kids playing today so don’t go lighting them up” which is always nice.
