Average
at
best
-
I
would
recommend
elsewhere...
The
pricing
was
squarely
average.
The
hire
for
the
amount
of
balls
and
guns
was
roughly
average
when
compared
to
other
sydney
based
locations.
The
staff
were
reasonably
friendly,
particularly
those
behind
the
counter.
They
made
the
process
of
sign-up
and
registration
quite
smooth.
The
biggest
issue
is
the
lack
of
gun
safety
procedure.
Whilst
a
rudimentary
and
very
basic
run-through
of
the
gun
rules
was
provided
to
the
team,
it
was
far
too
short
and
not
comprehensive.
There
was
serious
and
very
dangerous
gap
in
the
warnings
and
more
rigourous
and
safe
protocol
should
have
been
enforced
(ie
how
to
hold
the
guns
in
standby,
not
pointing
it
at
people,
treating
it
like
a
loaded
weapon.)
This
venue
has
one
(average)
arena,
which
WOULD
have
actually
been
half
decent
if
they
had
cleaned
the
hundreds
of
previous
layers
of
paint
off
the
surfaces,
ground,
structures
and
supplied
protective
clothing.
Im
all
for
indicative
splatter
and
decorative
residual
paint,
but
the
sheer
amount
of
leftover
paint
on
the
surfaces
made
the
whole
experience
a
very
oily
mess.
The
gun
quality
were
also
average,
but
perhaps
made
worse
by
the
tendancy
for
them
to
not
work,
require
repair/technical
adjustment
mid-game/have
components
fly
off
(admitted
by
staff
at
the
start
of
the
rounds).
Major
drawbacks
include
charging
additional
fees
for
very
basic/expected
protection
(ie;
a
protective
cup
for
men,
and
top
of
the
head
protection)
Other
disappointments
also
include
being
well
and
truely
understaffed.
For
an
arena
of
approx
30
people,
there
was
only
1
referee,
and
that
same
person
was
also
expected
to
provide
maintenance
to
players
gear
(ie
guns,
armor,
googles).
This
also
resulted
in
delays
in
upgraded
guns
or
equipment
being
rolled
out,
with
my
upgraded
gun
not
being
provided
until
halfway
through
the
session.
Understaffing
becomes
a
big
issue
when
many
players
run
out
of
cannister
pressure,
or
require
repairs
or
adjustments
at
the
same
time,
and
doubly
so
an
issue
when
other
players
break
rules
and
performs
actions
that
are
dangerous
to
other
players.
In
our
instance
2
of
our
players
were
shot
at
point
blank
by
another
booking
party,
and
the
referee
disregarded
this
(likely
due
to
them
being
either
too
busy
to
act,
or
too
lazy
to
care).
-
The
overall
takeaway
is
that
this
place
could
be
okay
for
a
casual
visitor
who's
local
to
the
area
-
but
not
for
an
intermediate
or
regular
player.
I
would
not
travel
far
for
the
experience.
