Mowgli1647545497 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I forgot I'd promised to post upcoming events. We've already had two this season so I apologize for not posting earlier in the year. Moving on: Got a few coming up that are going to rock. Op Black Aurora April 29th - Bellefontaine Ohio - new field Reg page: http://www.blackeagleairsoft.net/blackaurora.html Registration is full but there are alot of unconfirmeds who'll not pay and slots will open so get on the waiting list. Fee - $10 per person, camping $5 extra Op Safari Strike 2 June 3rd - Chardon Ohio Event Page: http://www.airsoftcleveland.com/safaristrike.htm Also full, and most paid for already but again you can get on the waiting list as you never know. This one will be big. Fee - $45 or $50 if camping onsite Op Blind Fury 3 June 24th-25th - Springfield Ohio Event Page: http://airsoftevents.com/events/event_story.php?event_num=57 Not full yet but filling up. This also will be a big one. Fee - $40 for BF series vets, $45 for new players (radio rental onsite optional fee) Op Full Throttle 2 May 20th - Columbus Ohio - Franbar park This one is really informal, and abit of a clusterf%&k so there's no event page for it, only the thread on AirsoftOhio.com to troll thru for info. But if you want to come out and shoot shit without the milsim this may be your bag. I can't attest to the hosts of this though (unlike the above who's hosts are all vets at putting on events). Here's the AO thread pg 5 on the event which seems to have the most accurate info, but again its a bit of a clusterf%&k so I post it for completeness only, and its in town: http://www.airsoftohio.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9586&perpage=25&pagenumber=5 Fee - $15 So there you go - those are the local (re: Ohio) events that are already scheduled. More will come. And of course there's the national events, but those are bigger and more $$$. So if you're looking for an excuse to get your fat winterized asses (like mine) out of your drivers' seats come on out and get lit up. Booyah. http://www.airsoftevents.com/gallery/albums/airsoft103/DSC_0030.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Gun rental - depends on the event host. I know for Team Strikers' hosted events that if you PM or email Strikers they can usually arrange a gun for rental (a good gun too). Strikers_Blade runs Combatdepot.com so he usually brings some of the store (what fits in a car trunk) with him to events also. Rates are an unknown, I've never rented. Best thing to do is post in one of the threads on it over at AirsoftOhio.com that you'd need to rent and I'm sure you'd get several PMs or replies. Its a great little community for helping out new players. (Just don't buy any of those crap guns you see at Walmart or DicksSportingGoods or SurplusWorld. If you're going to buy stop by AirsoftSmith or AirsoftArms here in town first to hold some models before you decide - then go online or buy from them - supports local small business. I definitely have a preference, but I won't post it since they're both hardworking stores). Hope to see some of you out. Like I said last fall, its a blast.

Mowgli1647545497 Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 That's a helluva airsoft gun! That stuffs very fun. I need to get me a gun. Yes its a blast. CA M249. Heavy but lays down the suppression. No way to lighten it up so I lightened up my harness from last year. Last year I was toting around 80+lbs over just my clothing weight. Here: http://www.08eu.com/nuke/modules/coppermine/albums/userpics/10028/OPDH%20020.jpg This is my new harness this year: http://www.airsoftevents.com/gallery/albums/airsoft103/DSC_0057.JPG http://www.airsoftevents.com/gallery/albums/airsoft103/DSC_0071.JPG Its just a set of loadbearing suspenders, a camelbak, and two belt-hung Molle M249 box mag pouches, plus a radio should pouch. I'm down to 45lbs over carry. I still sweat my fat ass off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
