Not impressed. Site looks like crap and found a bunch of mispelled words. It just doesn't scream professionals. Looks like backyard warz but time will tell

I guess time will tell. Hard to get any impression from the photos provided. Looks kind of amateurish, but I guess everyone has to start somewhere.

Yeah not allowing people to bring there own bbs is a sure way to not get my business as well as many others.
Let people field what they want. Any dangerous bbs are quickly recalled and/or banned by the community. Your still going to get a bunch of bb sales just ask guys that sell bbs at their games.

Also please seek professional advice on building your site. Use google and you will find plenty of "how to"s on building your own site and good site design.

If the BBs are reasonably priced, I could care less. People are dishonest. If you ask them to use BIO, they won't. Or they will lie to your face and tell you that they are shooting bio. The only way to ensure they are using exactly what you want is to provide it for them.

I think I'm going to give this one a pass.

The waiver is sub-par. If they paid a lawyer to write it, then they should try to get their money back. If not, they should think about hiring one. Think really hard.

The pictures of the owners are not particularly professional. Wifebeaters, regardless of color, are not professional in appearance. Outside of select rap videos and WWE, of course. Although the fashionable blue gloves totally make the ensemble.

The posed photos on the site are less than encouraging. Seeing muzzles pointed upward may be fashionable in photos designed to encourage the furtherment of a Jihad, but muzzle awareness and professional looking kit is much more likely to earn my business.

Also, in my mind, religion is a private thing. Advertising it on a site is a quick way to get this agnostic to put away his wallet. Although I do appreciate the heads-up about the importance of faith in the business model. It's sort of like one of those warning signs you learn to watch out for on a first date.

Have I mentioned the importance of using proper punctuation, capitalization, and grammar in the presentation of a website? It all comes down to professionalism in appearance. Taking the time to do it right encourages trust. This site fails to establish that trust.

Seems like a wonderful way for a church youth group to bond. This heathen will pass, thank you very much. Even if the field was outstanding, I'm going to assume it is full of mouthbreathers and children, simply because of the presentation provided by the site. Maybe if the community grows, and there are changes to the site, I might give it a try at some point in the future. In reality, though, as this sits, it's a no-go for me.

Thank you.

The grammatical errors in the waiver are even more hilarious than the striking idiocy displayed on the homepage.

Looks totally awesome guys.
