Silver Spur Splat - Our Local Field
I’m beginning to realize just how nice our local field (Silver Spur Splat) really is. I’ve seen so many people that pay $20.00 field fees, $10 for all day air, and $45.00 for a half case of paint ($65.00 for a case). After playing at our local field, and if I were to go to some field that charges prices like that, there’s a good chance that I’d just fall over dead.
I’ve also heard a great deal about stuck up field employees, but not at Silver Spur. If those aren’t the greatest guys to be around, I really don’t know what it would take to beat them. Most of the reffing is done by members of local teams just to help out, and they’re always encouraging new players. Pops, the owner, is definitely one cool dude. He’s a Nam vet, so he naturally fills the requirements of any paintballer out there. You should watch them take apart guns. Now that’s a site.
Right now they have two speedball fields built from crates, spools, and some other materials. They have one hyper-pipe (my personal favorite) field. Their newest edition is an indoor SupAir field that’s not exactly the biggest, but it’s definitely an awesome place to play. And in addition to speedball courses, they have a great fort field set up with the fort being at the top of a hill and large concrete sewer pipes, and a double ring of dirt redoubts in the attackers’ way. The town is also a popular field, and then there’s a woods field, but I’ve never played on that.
They have great prices to top things off. I can play almost all day with $50.00.
Field Fee - $5 (The field fee is dropped if you buy 500 paintballs, which I almost always take advantage of)
All day air – $5
A case of paint - $45.00-$55.00 (depending on brand)
Yeah, Silver Spur is definitely one awesome place to be, no matter who you are. I’m hoping that they put in another air field, because I know they have room for one. I’m just trying to figure out what they are waiting on! So if you’re ever in the South-Western Indiana area, be sure to stop by and pay them a visit. It will leave you wanting to come back for more.
