Review from Mike Z.

Outdoor Adventures (OA) is one of the few paintball options available to the DC Metro area. Outside of the regular Saturday/Sunday walk-on games, OA offers a variety of special events from time to time, including scenario games, speedball tournaments, and night games. If you're into Airsoft, they have dates when airsoft games are hosted, as well.
The support staff at OA are very safety oriented. When leaving the field, they require that guns be decocked in addition to the standard barrel covers required at all times. Has your gun jammed and you need to strip it? Forget about doing it in the staging area. I got yelled at for this, even though my gun was physically incapable of firing a paintball, having the bolt and hopper removed. When I asked where I could do this, I was told, "Well, you can't do it here." Do all gun work in the back of your vehicle or on the chronograph range.
If you'll be renting equipment, you'll be shooting old Piranhas with high pressure air systems with really cheap paint. My Autococker would chop the cheap paint in the breach, causing jams, but my Spyder TL seemed to shoot it just fine.
Things I liked:
Free high pressure air refills for walk-ons with their own equipment
They have a castle
They offer Marbalizer as their premium paint
Things I didn't like:
Bunker layout on most of the fields was not well thought out
No system (such as colored arm bands) was employed to identify teams
Speedball court 1 is asymmetrical
The Marbalizer was a bit lumpy
