When I heard that part of the bachelor party weekend included paintball I was ready. All those 1st person shooter games would finally pay off. I showed up ready with a kill mentality. AC paintball provided the guns and helmet. I brought gloves, long sleeves, pants and laser focus. After a brief video on some safety stuff and warnings not to shoot the emu’s we got to choose our guns. They provide you with a gun, air and a helmet. All the guns we got were well maintained. They have a couple maps in the front that have a variety of places to find cover as well as a couple trees. The property is really expansive and there are also woods maps as well where you can play a variety of games. Each group gets a ref and a block of time to play. You buy bullets(paintball’s) as you go. The forest/wood maps were more difficult with more foliage to get in the way. You definitely notice when you’ve been shot. We had a 4 hour block for our group of 5 and everyone was pretty tired at the end. They also let groups mix if you’d like and it’s not bad if your group isn’t too big. Unfortunately we ended up paired with kids which was okay as a first timer but also made the games a little less competitive. The customer service was pretty good. All in all I had a great time and would recommend this for any bachelor party, make sure the groom to be makes the bachelor run!

This one’s a throwback… AC Paintball was a lot of firsts for me, both in a literal sense and a relative sense. A first time firing a paintball gun(literal), a first time getting pelted in the face with paint bullets(literal), a first a first trip to AC this year(relative), and the first event to start off our Saturday bachelor party festivities(relative). Luckily for the bachelor entourage, the dudes running this joint knew what was up(ain’t their first rodeo for real). Let me put in FPS terms for y’all(that’s First Person Shooter for you kids who are«too cool» for video games… I hate shooters btw). We’ve got maps(courses) that specialize in close quarters play(I.E. death matches, team death matches, one hits, iron man rules…), expanded maps for team capture the flag, and highly shrubbery-ied areas to for hide and seek(with either one hits or iron man rules). The deals are pretty damn reasonable, a day pass, gun & mask rental, a used pair of gloves, Gatorade, and putting in for 1500 – 3000(for real!!!) paint pellets came out to around $ 80. Not bad for five hours to go carte blanche on the course, tagging each other, and getting tagged up myself. The nice lady at the register also allowed me to trade in my gloves for a Gatorade(and they looked pretty useless anyway). A good venue, a great time, and a painful start to what was eventually a pretty awesome weekend(as far as I could remember).

My first time ever paintballing so I’m not sure how to review this, but I had a great time. Came here as part of a bachelor party weekend. We came as a group of 9 and played against ourselves. You are assigned one«referee» who accompanies you throughout your time there. We got the membership because you get a 5% discount on the paintballs and since we were a large group, the math just made sense(9 asians, mostly in finance, so you can trust the math). We opted for the camo suits for 10 $ and some got 10 $ gloves. You start off by watching a short 5min video in a living room with couches and sofas. Several arenas as well as battlegrounds in the woods. Lots of different scenarios to choose from including hunger games, speedball, capture the flag. The ref was very nice in explaining the rules. A bus takes you to and from the woods, and also brings compressed air refills. The system they have going is very efficient so you waste minimal time commuting and more time shooting. There’s also a bachelor’s game scenario, where the bachelor runs across the field while the grooms party shoots at him… OVERALL: As a firs time paintballer, I would definitely come again…
