Paintball Sports and Supply –
Sunday 22nd of November 2010, I went to what used to be Outdoor Adventures Paintball field Pasadena,
Maryland. OA WAS MISSING! I stumbled around the field for a minute, trying to figure out what was
going on. I came across a guy named Jimmy from Paintball Sports and Supply (PS&S). I said “WHO
ARE YOU, WERE IS OA?” he kindly stated “We are operating the field from this point forward”. I then
began inquiring about this company PS&S. I found out that they also have a Pro-shop located only
five miles from the field on Carbide road. While I was chatting with Jimmy a man walked up to me
and introduced himself as Jeff Foy owner and operator of PS&S and of the Pasadena Field, now called
Pasadena Paintball Park. Jeff then wanted to take me on a tour of the fields. I told him “I have played
here last weekend what could be different” He still insisted on taking me on a tour, so I went. Well let’s
just say after the tour, I thought to myself “If he could turn this dump into this in just nine days, he must
have something really going on”. So I decided that this needed to be my first expose for the new APN
newsletter.
My interview began:
APN - What is your goal for Maryland Paintball?
Jeff -The growth of paintball for the players not just business.
APN – What made you take over this field?
Jeff – Well I never really took over anything, it was always ours. We just allowed OA to become partners
in the field with us and it wasn’t ran like agreed so I asked them to leave.
APN – Ok.
APN – What made you start repairing the field?
Jeff – This place was not adequate for players’ safety and was not kept up with. So I had many of my
staff donating their time to start cleaning and building to what we have now. It is still not done.
APN – What do you mean?
Jeff – Well I have over 70 acres.
APN – WOW! How much are you currently using?
Jeff – two or four acres. We have been spending a lot of time cleaning up the deadfall and brush. So now
we have three good fields for the patrons.
APN – Great! How many employees do you have?
Jeff – Six and seven referees for the moment, once we have more fields, I will hire more.
APN – So tell me about your pro-shop.
Jeff – Well we have been open for about two years now. We just were not concerned about advertising.
The only reason I opened this business was because of the players.
Jeff – Come see my pro-shop and let it speak for its self.
APN – Ok, sounds good.
I arrived at the store located at 3020 Mountain Road suite 1A. Pasadena, Maryland. In just seven
minutes with Jeff. The first thing you notice is the distinctive road sign and a very presentable store
front. So I went inside and was wowed by the presentation and the LCD TV’s on every wall playing
the most current paintball video out. On the right side wall there is a plentiful selection of markers to
fancy everyone’s tastes. As you look around the space you also notice his fully stocked show room
with a selection to cure your desire for gear. At the back of his store he has marker repair facility and a
complete fill station setup for HPA and Co2.
APN – Well Jeff I am speechless. This is the nicest pro-shop I have seen in a 20 minute driving radius.
Jeff – Well it is here for the players, we won’t turn away anyone, if we don’t have it we will tell you were
to go. My goal was for any Joe Some could come in here and feel comfortable.
APN – Well you really have a good going here. Best of luck to you and your business.
Jeff – So see you at the field?
APN – Will be there Saturday ready to play.
I concluded my interview with Jeff Foy.
To the reader of this expose, you have to go see the pro-shop and field and let it speak for its self. You
will be astonished.
