Editor's Review

Conder's Army Surplus/Paintball in Elizabethtown, KY, has carved out a niche as a beloved destination for paintball enthusiasts, families, and adventure seekers alike. Its reputation as the oldest and largest paintball field in Kentucky is backed by a rich history and a sprawling 80-acre property that hosts diverse playing fields, including Speedball and an urban city layout. Reviewers frequently praise the family-friendly atmosphere, noting that every visit feels like stepping into a community gathering rather than just another outing.

As Tommy Woosley put it, "One word fits this place. Family! Cause that's how you will be treated the minute you walk in the door." This sense of belonging is echoed by many who appreciate the knowledgeable staff who genuinely care about the experience of their customers. For example, Justin Clark fondly reminisces about his conversations with Dennis, the store's staff member, who often advised him against unnecessary purchases, saying, "He easily could have sold me probably more than $3,000 in products, but didn't."

However, not everything is perfect. A recurring concern from customers revolves around the accuracy of pricing, particularly for compressed air refills. Jacob Sareyka pointed out discrepancies between online prices and what he encountered in-store. While most customers rave about their experiences, they do appreciate consistency. Overall, Conder's offers a unique blend of excitement, community, and a chance to indulge in a favorite sport.

Best for: This place is perfect for families looking to have fun and anyone wanting to dive into the paintball scene.
