Axcitement Customer Spotlight Series: Southern Maryland Paintball
Southern Maryland Paintball has always been about giving people more reasons to show up. Over the years that’s meant more fields, more event types, and more ways to play. Adding axe throwing to the lineup is the latest addition to a venue that already knows how to keep guests busy and coming back.
SMP has been a fixture in the Southern Maryland action sports scene for years. Tucked away just past La Plata in Newburg, MD, the facility runs nearly 10 fields ranging from speedball to woodball, hosts scenario events and local tournaments, offers magfeed-specific days, and carries a fully stocked pro shop for players who want to invest in their own gear. Under the same ownership as North East Adventure Paintball in North East, MD, SMP is part of a two-location operation built on knowing what action sports players actually want.
The community aspect is real. Reviewers describe SMP as a second home, mention coming back every weekend, and call out staff members by name. That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from a venue that consistently delivers and a team that treats every guest well, whether they’re seasoned competitors or picking up a marker for the first time.
Adding axe throwing through Axcitement was a natural extension of what SMP already does well. A venue that already knows how to run multiple activities, manage groups of all sizes, and keep guests coming back has the foundation to make axe throwing work. The lanes give guests one more way to fill out their visit, and the mobile option means the experience can travel beyond the property to events as well.
Southern Maryland Paintball is the kind of place that earns regulars. Axe throwing is just the newest thing those regulars get to bring their friends back for.
