Brothers Paintball

Showed up for an event that was planned. When the event time came around, the people running the place didn't show. Gave them a call and the excuse was their calendar went into daylight savings time. That was almost three months ago, so not very creative. Plus Hawai'i doesn't observe daylight savings. The rental gear was adequate, but the prices for paint was a little high. Field is old and run down. Didn't expect much from a military base. Refs were friendly and joked around. Not bad if the prices were a little more fair. $100 for a day of paintball is a little pricy for my taste.

We went to the Bellows AFB location. The staff was friendly and professional. However, we've played the same field 6 times, so that's boring. Our big gripe is it feels like we brought a knife to a gun fight. The "regulars" who have faster bigger better guns are no match for rentals. If you have a rental gun you're pinned in the back because you won't have the range. If you try to move up, POW you're shot. Doesn't matter how fast you run, they shoot way faster then you can run. It'd be nice if all the rental guns could play together, then at least we're fighting pistols vs pistols. Good for those visitors who want to try something different.

You gave to buy their paint. Isn't cheap. Mandatory. Chill environment. Kind staff. The field is great.

Had a great time with my brother and a bunch of friends. Would definitely come again

Just picked up my gun from from them, shoots excellent. Super cool guys. Father and son. You need your gun fixed. Bring it here. They know what there doing!

If you're on the wall about trying paintball come here.Staff is second to none!!! From the guys on deck to the refs on the field. If you ever need help, there's always someone there. And Safety is the number one priority! They play a lot of different games, and the ref explains each one before it begins. Lots of people also. The smallest amount players the we seen was 20-30, and the biggest was 80+My daughter loves this place.Oh and bring something to eat and drink. There's nothing really there unless you have a military ID. And it gets hot at times.

I have been paintballing for more than 10 years. I can say without a doubt this is the worst pay-to-play paintball field I've been to. Overall safety and customer input/satisfaction is not of the top concern and the field has minimal amenities.PRICES:$50 boxes of field paint (only) are the cheapest available and are easily $35 retail. Forget that.$70-85 MINIMUM for 6 hours of play.SAFETY:Of course they tell you the whole deal: keep your mask on while in the netting, barrel plugs on while outside and they will chronograph your marker. You fill out a waiver too. But while briefing you on the fields layout they explain that a tree that has fallen and broken a bridge on the side of the field and that you run the risk of injury while using it because, after all, you singed a waiver (laughter). Worse yet they explain if you "get lit up, don't throw a hissy fit because it is just part of the game". The refs and staff are all easily high school age. Towards the end of the day they announce that a "special game" is to be played. There are about 30 people and they select six to be holed up inside a small bunker called "the church". Then they allow everyone against them. The players in the church may not leave, they are not out until they are hit in the visor on their mask. The entire day there has been no rule on minimum distance to shoot someone, "surrender-or-die", or "bunker tagging".They could give a shit less about your safety. These poor guys came out with their backs horribly torn up with bloody welts from 20+ people all less than 10 feet away unloading on them, theoretically aiming at their face. These masks are used by hundreds of people, shot hundreds of times and are being shot at from less than 10 feet away. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to push the limits of the safety device that far, nor would I condone it as an employee. With many young people with parents nearby trying out paintball for the first time, they don't want to be nailed by 30+ BPS by some spoiled goon with an expensive marker 10 feet away his first time playing.EMPLOYEES:Everyone was decent. Not overly polite but not rude. The referees were horrid. As stated above safety was brushed over and almost completely gone once the whistle blew. Nothing was mentioned about BPS rules or full auto settings on markers brought in by walk-ons. They never asked people what games they wanted to play and never adjusted the teams, which were all highly experienced players with tournament markers and pumps vs. a crew of pre-teens and then our group of ten AF members in our 20s. So that's 20 new people with single shot rental markers against ~10 out of 20 experienced people full of very fast markers. I was the only one on my team with a walk-on marker. Good job!The game types that were chosen for us were either confusing CTF variants or just death-match. Death-match was absolutely pointless, in fact the entire day was pointless: they had recycle points with towels and if you die you go back and wipe off and go back in. Even at the end of the day when it was 20 on 20 they didn't turn off recycling. With the large amount of players they need to make some games get-hit-and-you're-out. One game they make it half field. There is a bunker just outside of the boundaries and someone is inside. I go just 3 feet outside the boundary to get them out and yell them out of the "forbidden" bunker. I'm chastised by the ref. "Hey buddy, you're out of bounds." Shove it.Players are not allowed to blind fire around or over cover (though this was mentioned as a rule maybe once. I may be imagining it but it is a rule at every other paintball field ever). This happened all day. I also asked for paint checks on other players obviously wiping their markers and got nothing. This place was chaos. I've had true outlaw games with better accountability than this.With three games left they decided to do a check on our wristbands and open our hoppers to check for non-field paint (obvious, though they never mentioned why). They cared more about the money [lost] than the safety. This was made clear here.FIELD:There's one large field that is broken down into full, 3/4, and half field. It had a pretty cool set up that was a good size. CTF was meh. Team death-match sucked. I don't know if they allow smoke or paint grenades, but I'd use them there given the chance. 2/5 unless they get new (intelligent) refs, game types, and allow BYOPaint once you buy one of their boxes.

Horrible. NO One Cares at this venue, it's like a weekend playground for them. Save your money for a field that actually treats customers decently. The staff stole my $500 brand new go pro. My mask was in their trailer, than when I picked it up the go pro was missing. The worker who told me my go pro was safe in there acted busy when I picked up the mask, he pretended like he couldn't hear and was busy sweeping up twigs in a parking lot covered with pine trees.Owner of the company didn't care. His attitude was so. Leave me alone.Who steals? C'mon.

Today is October 1st, 2014 @ 3:15 pm. There are two signs that say "open," also a Sig that says closed on weekends. Today is a wednesday! NO ONE IS HERE!!! The lights are off! There isn't even a sign on the door indicating that they stepped out or are on break! RUDE MUCH! my husband and I drove from wahiawa in bad rainy weather just to come here to find that no one is here! Today was the day that we buy him a paintball set and jersey here, but I guess not. A number was given but even a call or two wasn't answered. We came Herr before and the people that worked here really knew what they were talking about. But because we wasted our time no thank you!

Refs are friendly, field is okay. Gripes about this place is over priced paint, military base(can't just come over on as a last minute thing) and unfriendly regulars. Paint starts from $55 for the cheapest up to $70 for the best paint. Very inconsistent paint, other fields have better consistency on their paints. They start early which is a good thing but its game after game so about a 5 minute break. After coming here for quite sometime, some if the regulars that are there every weekend are stuckup douchebags in general. I guess you can act like that if you're antisocial sociopaths that don't have any friends and think you're the best. Just go to the Nimitz field, much more better. Friendly staff and REGULARS that'll talk to you in general.
