Skinny Joe's Arlington

Good field. I'd give it an 8/10.

Four different playing fields to choose from:

-'The Jungle' is the side field. It's basicaly all brush trails with occasional bunkers for crossroad defence. Personally my favorite field, it's an excelent area for sniping. All that brush makes it easy to attack from the shaddows then slink away without anyone knowing where the shots came from. The lack of suficient cover actually enhances the gameplay since you have to be much more tactical than on any other field. It also emphasises teamwork since cover fire and flanking are a nececity when moving anywhere (unless your sniping of course Twisted Evil

).

-The low field is the smallest, but it's good that way. There is more cover than you can even get around to using making for very close combat game. I've had some very intense battles on this field.

-The hill field has two 'zones'. There's an upper 'road' with a lot of cover for assault minded players. Parallel is a lower section that moves through the woods. An excelent area to snipe the top of the field as well as try and get a rear flank.

-The high field you have to walk a ways up to so it's not one they have you play at that often. It's much like the low field just bigger.

The refs and staff there are very nice and make for a great playing atmosphere. I've only sen one ref who didn't do a very good job, I just can't remember his name right now. The only complaint I have about Skinny Joe's the prices. The field fee is a little much and you deffinantly don't want to buy paint there. You can visit their website at www.SkinnyJoesPaintball.com.

do they have a buy out so you can bring your own paint???

Yeah, you can bring your own paint. I wouldn't go there at all if you couldn't.

Some courses it's fine when they have it field paint only, but it just would be unreasonable here unless they dropped their prices to compensate for it.
