Take Aim Paintball Reviewed

In my old neighborhood Take Aim Paintball is a close and convenient little paintball facility right in the middle of town, but that’s the only reason I would ever go there. The place has all of two fields, one three man sup air field and an xball field. The fields’ maintenance is subpar at best. Half of the bunkers are either partially deflated or unable to stand up as intended. The running surface itself is supersaturated with paint so you look like a cartoon running in place before you finally start going somewhere. It is rarely cleaned up; it is primarily done before they host one of their tournaments which are generally composed of young guns and the occasional three or five man. Take Aim has an entrance fee of ten dollars and it requires you to buy their paint which is unfortunate because it is fairly expensive at ninety dollars a case. Now it is decent paint, don’t get me wrong, but I can go pick some up on my own for almost half the price. The pro shop is lacking in selection, they carry one type of jersey, one type of pack, etc. They have fill stations for compressed air and CO2, air cost a buck to refill and CO2 is four. The staff is probably the places one saving grace. They are very friendly and accommodating. The people behind the counter will make sure you’re ready to go and the refs keep games moving quickly. Basically, if you have your heart set on speed ball and you don’t want to drive to the extra mileage then you could take money you saved on gas and spend it playing at Take Aim, and you could have a decent time. Quite frankly I think you would be better off just going to a local sporting goods store, buying some paint, and playing out in a forest somewhere or an open field for that matter.
