Found new place to go Fox 4 site is pretty cool, and its BYOP!! Haven't been there yet, this Saturday hopefully first time.

in reference to the movie theater scenario mentioned earlier, where do you think they make their profits? it not from ticket sales. theaters keep less than 5% of ticket sales in the first 10 weeks of release. they make up the difference in the $4 cokes and $6 tubs of corn. same goes with fields. im lucky in that my local field will allow you to bring paint purchased at their store (much wider selection) as long as you have the recipt. it might help to chat with the owner of the field to see if more brands can be offered for field paint. you might be supriesed how accomidating most field owners are.

My field is $12 for free Nitro, Co2, and free BYOP.

I'm lucky enough that in Washington most fields don't charge extra if you BYOP. There's only a couple fields that I know of that are BYOP at least on rec days. I think what is in question is not so much that fields are over charging so much on their paint but that when they have FPO events that the paint isn't very good. If a field is going to have a FPO rule and charge a good amount for their paint then they better have a decent selection and it better be decent paint.

I've been to one field that was FPO and they only had RPS Premiums and it was $70 a case and it was the worst paint that'd I'd ever shot. This stuff was so bad that it was bouncing off of hyper tubes from less than 6 inches away. And you couldn't even say that some balls were out of round, some were egg-shaped to almost flat.

So what I'm trying to say if fields expect their customers to come back when it's FPO then they need to have decent paint that's worth the price that's put on it.

For recball there isn't realy any other way for them to make a good profet than to make you buy paint. I mean, at the feild near me it's $5 entry(CND) and they almost never charge you for fills. Think about it. If they only got $5 from everybody that came in they would be bankrupt. But they realy do rape you on the paint $240 a case!!! I know it's canadian but here minimum wage is about the same as in the US but everything PB related ends up costing twise as much as it does in the US (check out a canadain site)Link . You guy's think you got it tough, try having to save up 1000+ just to get a nice 68 Mag setup.
