Can I bring my own equipment?Yes, but we will inspect your equipment to make sure it meets our safety standards. All goggles must be full-face masks and be unaltered. There can be no cracks in the lenses at all. Weapons must be semi-automatic with a trigger guard. If there is a question if your weapon can be used here, a staff member will make it. The decision of staff is final. All CO2 or High Pressure tanks must be in test date. High-pressure fibre wrap tanks may not have any cracks or fraying and can't have any stickers, decals or other coverings on them. Maximum velocity is 350 fps.

What extra equipment can I bring?During the summer months always carry bug spray and sunscreen. Application of bug spray should be done before you play and will keep the pests off you while on our many courses. Avoid using bug spray near your goggles. It will damage goggle lenses and other plastic equipment. In the winter lip-balm and good warm gloves are a must. Remember, we are outdoors so dress for the weather.

What should I wear?You can bring your own BB's if you can prove they are Biodegradable.

For this reason care must be taken at all times when walking around the woods. Only Biodegradable BB's are allowed on site to help protect this delicate environment, unless you can prove your BB's are biodegradable, they will not be allowed on site.

Do I need to be fit to play the games?People who play Airsoft comes from all walks of life with varying experience. Fitness plays a part but players only needs to be in good physical condition to enjoy the games. Some people like to run around all the time while others like to hide and play a less physical game. Adequate breaks are encourage as part of the games.
-
Does it hurt?The sting of the BB hit is what makes this game unique. The thrill of running and jumping, dodging the BB's goes right back to your childhood, and the competition of trying to make the point to win the overall game just adds to the rush. So although getting "marked" by a BB might sting a little, the sensation is similar to getting popped with a towel and will usually go away in a couple seconds.

Does each child need to have a disclaimer?Disclaimers, this can be the online form or you may wish to do a hard copy upon arrival at the site. If you wish a form can be emailed to you so you can send copies to your guests that will be playing with you so that they can have signed and ready upon arrival to the site.

Long sleeve shirts are highly recommended, even in the summer time. As to foot attire, be sure to wear something comfortable and again, something you don't mind getting dirty.

If you are still undecided if your child is mature enough, speak to the event organiser.
