Myself and a few mates decided to try out a new site today (I'm not going to say where, the reason will become obvious and to some people so will the site).
It was pretty good, but right from the off I was noticing a lot of differences from our regular site. Nobody's weapons were chrono'd before the start, the only ones that were, were people interested in seeing what they were pushing out.
There was a lot of dry firing going on in the safe zone. I didn't once hear a marshal say anything about this, even when someone popped off a few during the safety brief. In general although a lot of the marshals seemed on the ball they had a general lack of control over the whole day.
Towards the middle of the afternoon while we were getting kitted up to head out again there was a scream followed by this young lad staggering across the safe zone holding his eye. He'd been shot in the eye pretty much point blank with a 450 fps sniper rifle. The staff were very slow to react, they just weren't prepared for this sort of thing. In fact the only first aid kit I saw came from one of the lads playing. In the end the guy with the injury was taken out by air ambulance, while a few people carried on playing but most were packing up or helping out with the situation.
I've got so much I could say about what went on today but instead I'll say this. Make sure you know your weapons are unloaded before you enter the safe zone. Don't fuck about dry firing in the safe zone.
