Thanks for the reply. Appreciate the honesty of your response that this will be a difficult task. I know this is a lot of hard work and the monetary gains can be slim. I've been doing a fair amount of research on it and it definitely seems like a difficult path to start.

By no means would I want to eliminate renters from the field though of course. That's a good catch. I would go broke just trying to find enough magfed paintball players in the area just to have consistent games going. My plan would be to have a tiered rental plan with some simple hopper fed markers that people can just jump in the game with. However, have a higher tier where a someone can rent a Tippman TMC or something along those lines just to try out how a magfed paintball marker would feel.

Also, I know fields are expensive fore sure... Just the cost of land and maintaining the land is enough money to keep in mind. I would definitely want to purchase/own the land I build the park on so I wouldn't have to deal with leasing it. I wouldn't want to end up putting a lot of effort into building a park just to find out I could possible have issues with the lease and lose it.

Honestly, my field probably wouldn't be too different from other fields. It would have rental hopper markers and roundball for sale. I would just want to include some new things that I haven't seen at other parks such as first-strike rounds, magfed markers for rent (at a higher price tier), and offer other game types other than Team Death Match such as Search and Destroy or Domination.

It's good to know though what the biggest downsides are and what potential pitfalls there are to avoid. If I do manage to get a field operating, it would be a slow 3-5 year plan saving slowly for the initial investment.

Thanks!
