Dutch Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hey folks, new to airsoft but looking forwad to getting involved. Probably mainly just in Hampshire sites. Looking forward to getting some games under my belt so I can start customising my kit. I need a new hobby and this one seems right up my street! Here's to fresh meat!!

TacMaster Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Try some of the Ambush Adventures sites, they have 3 in Aldershot, 1 in Horsely, 1 in Chobham, 1 in Southampton and they even do milsims at long moor military camp's FIBUA centre. Hopefully I'll see you at one soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted February 11, 2014 Supporters Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm also based in Winchester It's worth coming up to Iron Sight- just your side of Andover, great site with great people and players As Tacmaster suggested, Ambush sites are worth doing- the Southampton one is very good, UCAP bunker is also very good but can be a bit repetitive- better and evening game than a whole day IMO. Tacmaster, out of interest, if you're in Winchester why go all the way to Aldershot to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Lozart, just checking out 'The Malls' in Reading, sounds frickin awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted February 12, 2014 Supporters Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hey Lozart, just checking out 'The Malls' in Reading, sounds frickin awesome!! It is, it really is. If you can make the Thursday evening game it's quieter and less prone to non-hit takers than the weekends can get. If you can make it on the 20th - you can even meet me!

Been toying with the idea of doing a Thursday game as I've never been and it's only a 20 odd minute drive for me. I've seen some people suggest taking a torch, is this necessary?

Personally I found it a bit off putting as I would want an integrated flashlight and it is pretty far down on my shopping list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other option is just to find someone that looks like they know where they're going and who has a torch and stick with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively I've got a foot long maglite I could tape to the barrel an use it to break down doors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters M_P Posted February 13, 2014 Supporters Share Posted February 13, 2014 Come to Iron sight on the 23rd, there'll be a few of us from afuk up there- can get your ukara games started too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky vimto Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I take it head torches are permitted? Alternatively I've got a foot long maglite I could tape to the barrel an use it to break down doors! Hi, I'm in Eastleigh. I usually play at the bunker in Portsmouth. It's really dark down there being underground. The first time I went they laughed at me for wearing a head torch. The reason being most head torches have 3 different settings and if takes too long to turn it off and on. Also people tend to shoot for the light when you can't see past the light, it's like putting a target on your head. The night games are a good introduction to airsoft, give it a go.

They do have some walk on places but it's strictly first come first served. Find them on Facebook (Zed Adventures) and ask Emile Belcourt (head marshal) when you should turn up - assuming you want to give it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
