    Air Fill Prices

    What's up with the price of compressed air fills at local fields?

    I've got one field that charges $6.50 for 4500 fill, another does $7.00 for 4500 and the third charges $6.00 for a 3000!?
    Wasn't compressed air supposed to be sooo much cheaper than CO2, like pennies on the dollar. Looks like its time to invest is a scuba tank and DIY air fills. Of course, most fields won't "allow" personal fill stations...grrrr

    Sorry, for the rant, but how much is everyone else paying for air?

        paintball is too expensive. I think i might quit and come back to the sport in a couple years, see how much the technology has changed, and hopefully how much cheaper it is.

            I did that, now ive got a whole list of things I want because I didn't slowly upgrade. Don't try it, you will regret it :)

                    hmm... sounds like my fields

                    Indoor place - $5.50 for 2300psi fill
                    Outdoor place - $3 for 1500psi fill
                    Store which closed over the summer - $4 for 4500psi fill (noooooooooooooooooooooooo)

                    I really need a scuba and air compressor now... my RT Pro is getting deprived of true fills!

                        $10 all day air (they go right up to 4500
                        $15 admission
                        $56 / case of Premiums, $66 / case of Marbs
                        AND the field is BYOP, so most of the time I shoot white box.

                        The field is meant for 7 v 7, but sometimes it gets up to more than 20 players on a side. Lots of targets... Fill up the 4+3

                          $10 admission includes field fee and all day air (always at at least 3K - if the compressors are turned on can get 45).

                          Paint from $45 (whatever is being used as economy) to $60 for marbalizer. BYOP for anything but field rental guns.

                          $20? (I think) rental includes gun, mask, air tank and 500 rounds

                          Downside - no refs, refs are a volunteer basis (however with half a dozen (roughly) tournament teams based at the field there are normally refs on teh field).

                          Two fully netted arenas - multiple woods fields up to like 30 acres large if needed - depending on where boundaries are stated. Covered staging area.
