How bad does it hurt to get shot by bbs?
Generally, it doesn't hurt bad at all. Getting shot from far away will sting for a couple seconds. It also depends on where you got shot, and how far away it was. If you're really curious about how it feels, snap a rubber band 3-4 inches off your wrist. It's a pretty accurate comparison.
Is airsoft safe?
Yes! Even safer than many other sports! In airsoft, the only real way to get hurt is by taking off your eye protection. Eye-pro is always required in games. We take this rule very seriously. Other than that, trips and falls can happen, so do play at your own risk. We advise everyone to stay sharp and be careful!
What's the age requirement?
Whenever you're ready! We welcome all ages to play at their own risk, at parent/guardian discretion. This is a welcoming environment for all ages! 13 and under require adult supervision. If you're under 18, you'll also need a parent/guardian to sign on your waiver.
Frequently asked questions.
What clothes should I wear?
Up to you! Bring sunscreen & Bugspray. However we recommend wearing dark colors. Thicker clothes will make BBs hurt less, but will be hotter.

Is this an easy sport?

Keep your eye-protection on at all times.
This is the #1 rule for a reason. If your eye-pro falls or comes off at all, cover your eyes IMMEDIETLY and yell
"BLIND MAN!". This will pause the game and everyone will stop shooting until your eyes are safe.Call your hits.
If you feel yourself get shot, yell "HIT!" and raise your hand in the air. If you're not sure, call it anyway! Sometimes you won't even feel it.Barrel covers stay on while in the lobby.
In order to ensure the safety of all our players, we require that barrel covers stay ON while in the lobby.Leave the Wildlife Alone

General rules
No shooting through non-marked cracks.
Throughout the field are palletized structures used for cover. These structures have cracks in them, but you are not allowed to shoot through those cracks, and any shots you receive do not count. Look for red-painted openings in buildings, those are the ones you can shoot through!Obviously, no going out of bounds.
We'll highlight these boundaries before games start.Dead men don't talk.
If you get shot, and you're "dead", you're not allowed to share any info with your teammates! You're dead bro. You can't talk.No blind firing.
If you don't know what blind firing is, it's when you stick your gun out from behind cover and start shooting, hoping to hit someone. That's not allowed! Be fair and fun. This ain't real war.
