JakeThePanda Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi All! Anyone here from and play in the Essex area? Looking to expand my connections and possibly make friends who I can enjoy the sport with! Currently, I play at Splatoon in Wickford/Shotgate!

Guest Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Yup, but I don’t skirmish, Practical Pistol only at MPA in Hockley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberlawyer Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Yep, I’m Essex based (Brentwood). I do practical shooting at MPA Hockley every Tuesday. It’s a great way of getting an Airsoft fix Mid week, and really sharpens your weapon handling skills, which really improves your skirmishing. I also skirmish from time to time when work and kids allow. Airsoft Plantation is good, but a bit too waterlogged in the current weather. Been meaning to check Splatoon out, but not got round to it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play at Hockley but their low FPS limit means none of my guns are suitable and i really dislike their rentals! Hope to hear back soon!

If you want a super fun local site i would 100% recommend Splatoon! Their field is just amazing and gives much more fast paced action compared to skirmish!

I don’t really skirmish at Hockley either so the FPS limit isn’t an issue (not that I wouldn’t, in fact I have been trying to organise a time to go, but I have other commitments with kids that get in the way). I run a gas blowback rifle so that’s not allowed either. However their practical shooting Night is great for working on weapon skills and drills and really can lift your skirmishing ability, plus as you are shooting targets the low site FPS limits don’t apply.

Im more of a skirmisher than target shooter, Splatoon is wonderful! Plus i have friends who marshal there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I play in Essex a fair bit, normally Airsoft Plantation. Its likely the best woodland site within a reasonable driving distance from London in my opinion. I would love to do the practical pistol shooting at Hockley but its just a bit too far for me.
