kungfumonkey Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 dont forget water and food allways best to take your own munch along even if the site has onsite food supplies just incase u fancy more than one burger you at close action this sunday lemon?

bigshep Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Bottle of isotonic and emergency yorkie is always on my skirmish list. But apart from that a good pair of boots and a "have fun" attitude will be the best. Try to get a site map, try to spend some time following guys around that know what they are doing. If they have a range then use it for a bit. That way you will have an idea of the range and accuracy of your gun and won't get upset and start calling cheat when you fire at a bloke miles away. Ask people about their kit and guns, in a polite way. Owners will then bore you to death about them Apart from that have fun, you will be knackered at the end of it, you will get shot (it doesn't hurt unless its close up) and you will shoot a few people, but it 'aint no CoD so don't expect lots of running around all day from the get go and huge kill/loss tallies, in fact don't even try to keep score, just play and have fun.

SheriffHD Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 although just like in COD, you will never run for more than 7 seconds (well for me any way, i'm fat lol) Always keep your eyes forward as well, the amount of times Ive seen people close-line them self's on tree branches because they were looking at their feet or something is unreal. some gatorade/powerade or ration pack isotonic mix drink is always good to have, its better than water and it tastes nice. Site food is Ok, but I always take my own any way, just makes the day cheaper (when you pay rent and petrol, the cheaper you can make something the better) But the main thing is to just enjoy your self dude, Hope it goes well for you.

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted October 11, 2012 Supporters Share Posted October 11, 2012 If at all possible, have mesh eye protection, because goggles will almost certainly steam up and full face paintball stylee masks always do. My first day, not being able to see a lot of the time was the thing that bugged me most, after getting blisters from not having worn my boots for yonks before that day! Loved it anyway though lol! Also, prepare to kiss goodbye to your disposable income... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtTalbert Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I might be going to FFZ on sunday Its a very good site - right now its very 'over grown' so good for setting up ambushes etc... long sleeves are a must right now due to mile high stingers! there is no range - but there is a place to fire your file near the safe zone etc... Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, prepare to kiss goodbye to your disposable income... Hi I've bought myself some mesh goggles that's the only but of kit I have at the moment but its a start lol. I'm guessing I will catch the airsoft bug once I've played a game or 2 so I've told the wife need to take out a second mortgage lol I might be going to FFZ on sunday Its a very good site - right now its very 'over grown' so good for setting up ambushes etc... long sleeves are a must right now due to mile high stingers! there is no range - but there is a place to fire your file near the safe zone etc... Enjoy! Thanks for the advice there. I was thinking of just a t shirt but not now lol.
