Lone Wolf West

Lone Wolf West is open.

Didnt run games today due to Mothers Day low turnout, so they did some work on game package pricing, A5 packages, and things, hiopefully be able to post stuff up some time soon.

Best bet it to call the store. The Lone Wolf West field hours are open 9am, games run from 10am to 4pm. Saturday and Sunday

Let me know...I will certainly be a customer if Exotic ever opens in Rochester.

As for Lonewolf West, went there on the 21st...it was great. They said they had a great turnout for the weekend, almost 100. On Sunday we had about 35, mostly walk-ons. The field was not flooded, looked great, the refs were great...I had alot of fun despite not doing too well performance-wise. It's definitely going to be a harder choice between Hell Survivors and Lonewolf West. Each have advantages and disadvantages. If I had to rate them, it would look like this:

Price: Lonewolf West
There should be an asterisk and the word "slightly". Since it's a BYOP field, it tends to save me money on paint...that's where it gets it's edge. You pay about $10 more to play there (registration and air fills) but you pay $20 less for paint (if you buy the cheap stuff). Now, if you get more expensive paint, it gets to be a wash. I assumed gas and food to be constants since both places are about the same distance from me.

Field: Draw
I hate to say "draw"...but while Lonewolf West has some really great bunkers and field layouts....HS has 3 fields (to Lonewolf's 2...essentially) and if you count the HS castle they would at least earn a draw.

Staff: Draw
Gotta say draw again...while Lonewolf's staff were some of the friendliest I've met...and did a great job making up different types of games...HS staff is the more professional and a little better at paint checks and safety.

Competition: Draw
The competition was equal as far as I could tell. I think HS draws a few more milsim guys and SPPL people...but they also draw a ton of newbs...so it all evens out.

The biggest advantage to Hell Survivors is that they pull 70 people on a Saturday almost guaranteed. I was worried that I'd get to Lonewolf West and be the only one...and for the first 30 minutes...I was one of 4...that will NEVER happen at HS. The cool thing about Lonewolf West is that you play more actual games. Because it's sort of just a rotational thing...you tend to get in far more than 12 fifteen-minute games like at Hell Survivors.

So...slight advantage to Lonewolf...but it doesn't matter too much to me because I have a friend near Pinkney who doesn't like to drive out of his way...so if he plays...I will probably do HS...if not...Lonewolf West is certainly a solid option.

Awww. Nutz. I liked him. He was borderline "too strict"...but he was a true professional...and you don't see that too often in that profession...usually you just get some 15 year olds trying to earn a store discount by reffing every other Saturday or something. I'll miss him. Too bad he couldn't stay for the Monster Game, this year will be my first year going.

I'm not very far away from you (SE WI, or 4 hours completly around the lake), but $3 a 1000 psi is pricey no matter where you are...it should be more like $1. And sometimes they will cut off the last 500 psi from the price (for simplicity).

Exotic Rochester

Any word on the Exotic in Rochester yet? This sucks...I need air to test a couple guns and I can't get a fill without driving a half hour through crappy traffic to overpay for one. Somebody told me there was a scuba sho in Pontiac that would fill them...but:

A) There is not scuba shop in Pontiac.
B) The two scuba shops nearby (Rochester and Royal Oak) don't fill paintball tanks. One said he would sell me a scuba tank and regulator so that I could fill them myself, but I'm not in the market for a $200 investment right now.
