I was walking home from fishing this morning and decided to snap a few shots of another area that I plan to use for airsoft games.

That is a big house across the river, they can have an opinion but it doesn't matter, they live across the river. The river is 150 + yards across, that would be the closest home to the field. This property is on our farm and can only be accessed by 2 roads, my driveway or my parents driveway and its about 1 mile off the county road.

Looks good! Is it free of the big nasty plants like nettles and poison oak?

In all my life time I have never seen poison Oak/Ivy on this property and I used to trap and hunt every inch of this place, nettles are only in certain areas, they like shade and seem to grow in damp areas. Even with the river close by, the soil or lack there of does not grow nettles, its river rock and sand with a very thin layer of soil, when I was a young kid it this area did not grow any trees or brush, it was pure sand, looked like a huge beach. As you move away from the river and the soil improves you will find some blackberries but they seem to stay in certain area versus spreading out.

How large is the land? Also, water insertions any body?

Its hard to say how big the area is, its big, the whole farm is 250 acres.

I am trying to get a Zodiac just for this reason, I have a friend that has an old one that leaks, you have to add air about 2 times a day when you use it.

Water insertions are hard for airsoft. Especially because everyone knows it's coming and there's only (generally) a few good spots to insert. I've tried, of course i did feel like an elite sniper delta force seal ranger while doing it :D

Mmm. That river + a zodiac + scenario game equals a great game idea. I'd go to a game here any time I could. Also looks very purtyful.

Its not that easy young grasshopper :) the tubes are 20+ years old and the material is breaking down. It requires a tube replacement for about $2200.00 unless there is a compound you can put inside the tube to line the tube like a fix a flat.

As for river access, there are countless locations to land, I can land my drift boat on shore about any place I want. The only worry I have is electric powered guns and water dont mix.

Maybe something like expanding foam?


Thee are more resistant then people think. While a complete dunk in the water most likely would turn out bad, guns can get relatively wet. Splashes and such wouldn't be a problem.
