NAF ‘23

[Skullchewer]

I'll be keeping my eye pro on pretty much all weekend.

3000 or so macho men, weekend warriors and  all the other kind of airsofters, with their pew pews? Someone's gonna be a dickhead, guaranteed, and that's before you factor in the alcohol.

Mmm, I throw a cheap pair of safety glasses on in safe zones now at regular game days.  Sad that it's come to this, but I've seen to much unsanctioned dry (and not-so-dry) firing in "safe zones" now that I'd rather not be the "told you so" poster pirate.

I would bet my left nut that some thundercnut will let off a pyro in the middle of the night for giggles.

 

3000 airsofters...in one place...with alcohol.....urghh. And those portaloos are going to be minging. ?

 

Have fun!

As a former "new age traveler" and life long rock festival fan, toilets don't bother me ?

There's a no pyro rule at NAF. Bet people still bring pyro though.

BFGs are allowed for normal game days there. Don't know if that's the case for the NAF though.

Iirc the ban on disposable pyros is down to the peat soil as there's a risk it can catch fire and spread underground

I take it you are camping in the noisy zone? ?? 

To be honest bangs are going off all night.

The marshals do quad bike around looking but how do you look for a bang that's already happened? ?

You're really going to spend money on the absurdly priced stuff there? No offence dude, but you're a bit dim.

So anyway, we can compare purchases!

I’ll show you mine - if you show me yours first ?

[Shamal]

You will have no money left for trade stands.

Your Dosh will be sucked from your pockets by the human vacuum cleaners before you hit the main arena.lol

So much gear and so little time ?

Well, I’m gonna be sniffing around for possibly a couple of RIF’s whilst I’m down there. The classifieds here just now have been pretty uninspiring, tbf it’s not just here, it’s everywhere. Summertime gets folk hording their nice stuff ?

You could always post up in the wanted section for those elusive bits, I keep hearing about the bloke who's uncle is selling off all the stuff that no one can find elsewhere ?

Sadly, he’s not been in touch yet ??

So, rather than leave it to fate, are we actually going to arrange a meet up? And by meet up I mean drinking, not at the end of a barrel.

What about Friday,3pm by the saloon/chrono station?

[Skullchewer]

I'm new to naf, won't we still be "playing airsoft " (in the very loosest sense) at that time?

Things are not priced at stupid prices at NAF, last year BB's £6 a bag when in your local shop they would have been £10.

 

I bought two WarQ helmets, normal price £199 each, on offer at £35 off full price as I bought two and was cheek enough to ask if they would discount anymore if I bought two, gor another £35 off, so I saved £105.

If you know what you want and you want to take a risk, you can buy others second hand kit, my son wanted a scope and got a scope he wanted for £49 which normally retails for £110.

There are plenty of other traders there with all sorts of kit and you can buy a bargain if you know what you want and are prepared to take a risk.

I’ve been kinda saving for the event to allow me a couple of purchases, fingers crossed there’s something that takes my fancy, I seem to be getting a bit picky in my older years ?

If you can't find something then you are either blind or your wife has welded your wallet shut without you knowing ??

[Skullchewer]

Oh, cool. Yeah, 3pm at the saloon it is then!

You'll have to make yourselves known to me, but I do stand out a bit.

If its something you want from Zero One shop, you have to be quick because things sell out fast, if you want something like a sight then buy it online and save you the carrier fee by selecting collection from NAF site.

 

Double check you have your cash with you because I wanted a couple of things and in the 30 minutes it took me to get back to my tent and back to the shop, they had sold out.

 

Don't forget to go to the raffle as you are entered under your player number and they have sponsored giveaways of a few small things and a some high value prizes like RIF's.

Friday evening is Shotguns and pistols and runs until midnight.

As for the beer tent entertainment, Deezul will crucify your favorite tunes...

You're not wrong there, some butt heads near to me were firing off BB's in the camping area.

 

I have asked ZO in the past to have all campers to have a tent tag to identify those that are morons that live among us.

 

Bit of dirty play, several times I had hits to the eyes, the bad actors tended to be Bravo group just like last year and the year before that.

"Bit of dirty play, several times I had hits to the eyes, the bad actors tended to be Bravo group just like last year and the year before that"

 

That's a bit of an unfair statement.

Is it because we won ?
