Andy, correct me if I am wrong but I am sure that Ape paintball is an independent, owner operated site.most of your average marshalls that work at these chain sites are absolute idiots. There are of course the few that have been blessed with a bit of common sense. Im not going to say where but ive been to a few sites after hours and theyve been drinking jack and coke and smoking joints before going out to play, i mean i dont really give a moose's last sh!t if they're a bunch of stoners but not when were about to play.
But i never ever found this at one off kind of sites, some of the best sites in the country are the ones people least visit because they're potential customers have been bullied into playing by the reps of the chain fields you see on the high street and in shopping centres.
this isn't to say all chain sites are filled with idiots and are crap but if marshalls are shooting at each other in the face then they deserve what happens for acting a tit.
I know of "chain" sites that are run terribly, and ones that are managed very very well, just as I know some independents who have no clue.
