    It sure looks that way. I play mostly outdoor so this option is moot for my field but I say that's SHADY!

        I would never buy pre-shot paint. Especially at that price. You can get good rec paint for $30-35 a case.

          I would not buy pre-shoot paint. But with that said, you can NOT get good rec paint for $30-$35 a case THERE. FPO kind of limits you to what you can buy/use there.

                    spew, we never would do that, all we do is scoop it up, and toss it in the dumptser. People w/ their own guns are welcome to pick it up and re use it... but it will cause their gun to go nuts. WE make rentals dump thier entire hopper if they pick it up because they will have a gummed up gun thanks to odd shapped paint.... you won't beleive what people pick back up and put in their gun...

                    Simple answer: Heck No, we want people to have fun, not have to fix thier guns.

                          No, I simply don't play there except a time with a group that brings their own paint. That was 30$ field fee and 40$ per case of Xball.

                            $30 for re-used paint??? thats a ripoff... although paint on the ground isnt always that bad, ive used it occasionally after running out. you just have to make sure you only pick up the good paint from earlier that day. its helped me out before during the last game of the day
