Good day at RIFT The Ridge! Years since I was last there (in a 4x4) so it was interesting to see it from an airsoft perspective.
The site is massive, but due to the extremely undulating nature of the ground and thick vegetation, I think 90% of all engagements throughout the day were at no more than 20m. At one point I was the opposite side of a small ridge line to the enemy taking potshots, but because of the bushes they just couldn’t find me ?
Kit wise I had my TM recoil, decided to run my battle belt along with my chest rig. If it wasn’t for the fact that the belt kept undoing itself as I was crawling around I probably would have been tempted to just use that all day; it was only in the final 20 minute game that I actually used more than 3 magazines. So for now at least I think my shooter belt build will be shelved while I try to justify it!
RIFT ran a tight ship and good game as always, there was the normal moaning but non-hit taking but as I only seemed to be getting shot by our own team I can’t comment on that!
Not sure we’ll rush back in a hurry as the steep hills have completely knackered me, but it was a great one off for a bit of variation.
