Frequently Asked Questions

This is a very common question and the answer is - it depends! Being hit with a paintball or an airsoft bb, to some, feels like getting snapped with a rubber band. Many factors influence how it feels to be hit, including choice of clothing, distance, marker speed. Our field chronographs all markers to operate under 280 feet per second and we watch closely to keep close shots from happening. All games are supervised by a trained referee to help keep players safe. 

The brands of paintballs we use at Command Decisions generally do not stain clothes, but there may be some fabrics that are harder to clean than others. We always recommend that players wash their clothes immediately upon arrival home to keep staining from happening. We also recommend that players were clothes which they do not mind getting dirty while playing.

The field is open only on Saturdays from 9am until 5pm, Always check Facebook for information, Groups of 20 people or more may schedule for days other than Saturday . We request one week notice to ensure adequate staffing.

At Command Decisions Wargames Center you must be at least 12 years or older to play, and players under 18 must have a parent or guardian signature, along with the player's signature on the liability waiver.

Absolutely—but what most people don’t realize is that the gross majority of paintball-related injuries occur in unsupervised settings such as backyards, or homes. At Command Decisions we pride our-selves in our safety protocols. All players are given a safety briefing and are supervised at all times by our trained referees. We require and monitor the use of gun chronographs, barrel blocking sleeves, and safety masks/goggles. We like fun, but we love injury-free. We do not tolerate rule breaking or dangerous behavior. Players who violate the rules will be given a one-time warning. The second warning will result in the player being removed from the game, and any further violations will result in expulsion from the field.

Camouflage works best if you have it, but if you don't the outdoor colder clothing works great. Comfortable footwear is encouraged, as you will be doing a lot of walking and/or running during a session. Our field has very diverse terrain - from flat, to uphill, to creek crossings, from grass to dirt, and sometimes mud! Also, wear something you don't mind getting dirty in. Remember to wear long pants & long sleeves as you will be playing in the woods. We do our best to maintain a bee/wasp/poison ivy free field but mother nature doesn't always cooperate with us.

Each game usually lasts anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the game & the amount of players present. The amount of games is up to the group you are with, but we try to give you as many games possible while you are at the field. Turn around games will allow groups to play more games in a session rather than groups who take breaks after each game. The referee is there to help coordinate play and to help schedule group breaks. Of course, during our big scenario events - play goes one while players take individual breaks. 

We rent 98 customs, top of the line in rental guns in our opinion. They are reliable and easy to use. Upgraded paintball markers are not available at our field. 

We recommend you rent first and play the game before you make any decision as to

which gun you may want. If you don't play often, it would probably be better to just rent. If you do plan to play, even if not that often, we advise purchasing your own paintball mask. Rental masks are kind of like bowling shoes...we clean them each time they are used, but investing $20 in your own mask may be a more favorable option for you. We are happy to help you figure out what kind of marker would best suit your needs and style of play. We are an Authorized Dealer for most paintball companies and generally make a rule of price matching/beating local stores.

It's hard to say without knowing how aggressive you are going to play. Some players

can make 100 balls last the entire session and others can't even get through a 15

min game. The average for a 1/2 day of play is about 1 bag (500 balls) per player. When scheduling a group, we generally estimate that the group will see each player use between 500 and 1000 balls.

Waivers, rules, chronographs, etc:

All players will have to complete a field liability waiver form before play.

Players under 18 will have to have an accompanying adult parent or guardian signature on their form. After signing in with their waivers, all players will be required to shoot their markers over the chronograph range. All guns are checked to comply with the field speed limit of 280 fps. After that, all players will have a safety briefing of the paintball field's rules. Breaking these rules will result in players being asked to leave the field of play either temporarily or for the rest of the day, depending on the offense. We take safety extremely seriously here, even more than the fun we provide players.

For private groups of 10 or more you must make reservations at least 1 week in advance of the date of the party.

Walk-on's, open games/general admission is available each weekend (unless noted otherwise on the schedule). Don't be scared to come out by yourself or with a group of friends. We will help to sort you into equal teams.
