 Outdoor Paintball: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) |
Do you have corporate or group rates?
CTF’s pricing is already priced for group and corporate events, so we do not have a specific corporate rate. Corporate or 'group rate' pricing can be obtained by getting coupons from all the major coupon books that schools and churches sell. This can reduce
by 50% or saves the entire $7 game fee. Another option is to buy everyone
but one person in the group the minimum 100 paintballs and whatever markers
you choose. One person, typically the group leader, the gets the maximum
2000 paintballs and shares the balls and splits the cost. All extra balls
are then priced at our lowest rate of 7.5 ¢ per
ball + GST. Everyone in the group must get at least the 100 minimum
paintballs.
What can I expect to pay?
Game Fee of $7 each or obtain coupons to save part or all of this. Then pick out your level of paintball gun (1 to 5) and your paintballs. For example, 125 paintballs are $20. Set a quota/limit per player if you are paying. The paintball guns are semi-automatic (which
means every time you pull the trigger, the gun fires one ball) and therefore
you control the
output of balls. You can make paintballs last a long time or you can use
them up quickly. All the different packages are listed here.
Can I bring in my own paintballs?
No, outside paintballs are NOT allowed. It is our source of living. We have a special color and type of paintball
and can easily spot outside balls. Any groups caught using outside balls are
automatically charged $50 each. Remember that you can reduce your paintball cost by originally buying a larger amount of paintballs from us. Thanks for supporting our business.
Do you sell the guns?
Yes, we sell limited amounts of our pre-owned paintball guns at our
Outdoor Cochrane field. We also have a pro shop that sells new and used
markers and equipment. Call 403-252-9462 to contact them directly.
Do you refill compressed air? What does it cost? Do you have CO2?
Yes, we will refill compressed air at $5 per day with unlimited refills if
you have your own air tank. Refills are free if you rent our paintball guns. Yes, we fill CO2 tanks and the cost is $3 to $6 per fill depending on the size of the tank
or rent one of our compressed air tanks for the day with unlimited refills
for $7 (typically cheaper that refilling CO2).
Are you open when the weather is bad?
Yes we're open rain, sleet or snow all year 'round. We have a house (like
a ski lodge) to change up in and warm up in. Dressed properly, you can easily play
in any weather conditions and have FUN. If you are concerned about the weather you can switch your booking to
another date or to our LaserTrek facility in SE Calgary for lasertag or
airsoft, even if it is last minute.
What is the difference between the gun levels?
Basically, the higher the level of gun, the better it functions. This includes increased speed, accuracy as well as decreases the chance of gun issues or breakdowns. The pricing chart here shows the velocities of the paintball guns at each level.
It's kind of like renting a car in that there are fancier types to rent.
Can I bring my own gun?
Yes, as long as your feet per second is under 300 feet per second. We have chronographs to check all paintball guns. Safety, safety, safety!

Can I bring my own safety equipment?
Absolutely, as long as it conforms to our safety standards.
My son or daughter wants to play outdoor paintball. How old should they be to play?
We suggest 10 years of age and up to play paintball. We have had many 8 and 9
year olds play, however, they must be aware that a hit from a paintball can
have a bee sting effect sometimes. Kids that play hockey, soccer and/or
lacrosse tend to enjoy paintball. For young groups we recommend that at least 2 adults play, one for each team. There
are chest protectors and facemasks for everyone and all groups play privately
unless they choose to join with others.
Do I have to sign a waiver?
Yes, everyone who is playing must fill out a waiver. The oldest person tends to be the witness! Parents
do not have to be the witness for their child. Any adult can be the witness and not be liable.

Do you serve alcohol?
No, we don’t sell alcohol and alcohol is no longer allowed at our
facility as per ALCB rules.
Do you sell food?
We offer a free hotdog barbeque and crystal powdered drinks all day long. We
also sell chips, pop/soda, and chocolate bars. You are encouraged to make it
a tailgate party and bring any additional food you want such as burgers,
steaks, pop, chips, cake, etc.
Do you have a Bus Service?
Yes, we have our own basic school bus for rent for $20 each with a minimum
charge of $400. Our pickup location is NW Crowfoot Shanks or we can quote a price from your preferred location.
I want to play paintball, but I don’t have a group. Can I come out and play by joining another group?
Yes, you may come out and join existing groups that are looking for 'joiners'. Please
always call ahead to review bookings because some groups prefer private sessions only.
How many paintballs do I need?
There is no specific answer to this question as there tends to be a wide range of consumption of paintballs depending on the
individual. Every marker shoots one paintball every time you pull the trigger. Children will easily use whatever you are willing to buy them so
it is best to determine your budget and then anything above and beyond that they are responsible for on their own.
The cheapest way to do it is to start everyone in the group with the minimum
100 paintballs as everyone must purchase at least this amount. Then start
one person with a larger amount (500, 1000, 2000) and split the balls and
share the cost. This also gets you cheaper extras if required.
