    No more local field

    Well it finally happened, my local field closed. Their compressor broke a few weeks ago (the weekend I was going to go play) and they've made the decision to just shutter the whole operation. The next closest field is 4 hours away. I'm just crushed. Might have to take up airsoft after all. This really sucks.

      I know how you feel. I've seen more than a few favorite fields shut down.
      But four hours? That's like over state lines here on the East coast.

              Well I'm not sure there's actually airsoft fields around either. There's an airsoft store in ABQ so i thought there'd be fields, but it looks like there isn't. Damn. Ruckus was the only paintball place and they did some airsoft.

                I’m sorry to hear that. I have had a couple close around me making my drive about 2.5 hours each way.

                A lot of small fields are barely holding it together. It only takes one thing to go wrong and they are done.

                I am hopeful for those small air compressors. I know they take awhile to fill but at least there is an option to private amd s
                all businesses.

                  Were there a good amount of regulars? Maybe some outlaw games could be arranged or even if some has private land. That's a huge bummer though.

                  The only place near me is an hour and 15 minutes each way, but there's a very popular outdoor airsoft field 20 minutes away. I've contemplated what I'd do if the paintball field closed down but don't think I could bring myself to take up airsoft lol. Probably just get into fishing even more and import high end JDM gear.

                    There were a couple local teams. I'd probably have to join Facebook to see what they end up doing.
