The Tank and I played at Color Splash in Pueblo Colorado on Sturday, 23 July. The temps were in the 90's but with low humidity, the playing was great. The field is primarily open, hilly and rough. Many buildings have been erected and large spools and water containers are used for cover.
The Ref's were good, only 3 onsite, but the field was relatively small so they covered it all. We used 98's that day, and all rental markers appeared to work well. No onsite Pro Shop, but if there is anything you need, the check in station will call the Pro Shop and have it delivered to you. The Staff was friendly and very informative and willing to discuss other shops and area sites for play.
The other players were real friendly also, and came over to our site to talk East Coast Paintball, ATA, gun repair, and just plain banter between rounds. Water is a must, dry arid heat will take it out of you quick, and you won't notice it, and the other players shared easily.
Paintball is limited in Colorado, as most of the area is privately owned and hunting for small game goes almost year round. But the shop owner states that there is a large player network, and they are always looking for land owners that will let them schedule weekend scenarios.
Overall, if you get a chance to go to Colorado, look this place up, it's not hard to find, cheap to play ($20 all day air/admission, $15-500 balls), and good people to play with.
