We was always at the mercy of the landlord. We didnt expect anyone to buy such a property in its condition but hey it is what it is.
I've always been prepared for this and we already have in the works a similar sized site nearby :)
Keep an eye on Echelon Airsoft - About to open a massive CQB site in Kent near Maidstone. If you drive it isnt too far. < Shameless advertising
Other then that I know that the Exter tunnels are opening up again?
I think I'm in a unquie position to answer this as we are opening two sites in Kent - both schools - both abandoned.
The rent alone costs nearly 600 a day per site. Plus paying for staff on the day.
Then we have the inital setup costs - So far Hextable school cost around 6500 and it isnt even...
I'll be opening two sites in the very near future (both in kent) Hextable, Swanley and Isle of Sheppey!
Welcome to airsoft prepare your wallet and get a re-mortgage..
Just to add, I actually brought a 100£ airsoft gun before I had a UKARA. Lasted 4 games and it just stopped. Stripped it down sold the gearbox and motor (which where Nurpol!) for 50£ and sold the metal barrel and a iron sight for another 30.
So really those 4 games cost me £20 in weapon costs...
I would say it depends on what type of site you play at. Personally I've gone for a holo as I play at a CQB Site ( Bunker UCAP ) But.. One of my mates has the Phantom F Sight and I've had the use of it a few times. Pretty decent would definitely recommend getting some screen protectors if you get it
