Hey, everybody!



In an effort to connect with the adult Airsoft hobbyists,

-Axisofweasles

How "adult" of an adult are you wanting? Legal adult (over 18 ), drinking adult (over 21), life adult (over 30)?

Just curious is all.

Age is just a number. If you can maintain a "military bearing" while helping to eat a shit-sandwich- then I want you on my team.

[R.O.B.]

By military bearing, do you mean 'Don't laugh and say it tastes nutty'?



Damn that made me laugh...must be time to hit the rack

Night gents

[Henschel]

This sounds like it could be fun. I wouldnt mind participating of space is available.

[Matt]

You've got some actual LEOs on your waiting list. Didn't you want experienced operators? I'm hoping you can convince them to raise the cap and let us bring a few more, they can benefit from the advice given by many of these guys.

6,000sq feet is small (smaller than Oregon Arena) unless one big killhouse is the effect they are going after.

Some of the players on the alternates list are some of the ones you want there. I would invite more just to see how crowded it's going to become with a small amount of people. I think you will find about 20 is the most you are going to want to have playing at the same time.

You talking about the place we hosted CQC1 and 2? That was 6,000 square feet. It was a little on the small side but it was big enough to build several different combinations of buildings.

no matt, taken directly from the website

TAC-Ops Indoor Air soft is Portland’s only indoor playing field with over 6000 sq. ft. of Military & Urban warfare close quarter battle air soft training. Players will get in the game with different scenario based games using tactical maneuvers, team work and all-out head to head skirmishes. Tac-ops is the place for CQB air soft training and great for clean, safe place to play air soft.

I was just saying that maybe by having more people attend they could gauge how crowded it can get due to the size. Suggestion and not hatin

[Matt]

You are mistaken. I'm not disagreeing that it's 6,000 sq feet. I'm comparing it to OAA in Delta Park. Anybody who remembers that arena should have a pretty good idea what size of space we are looking at here. Except, I can't remember if OAA was 6,000 "playable" area or if the entire building + offices and waiting rooms was 6,000. Anybody?

[Seagreen]

From the dimensions, the OAA back area was clost to 6000 sq ft. The front ready room area was around 500-800 sq ft.

[Pacman]

Having never played there what was the playable area at S4 for my reference?

Did CTL Expand S4 at all, or is it the same playable area?

[Seagreen]

CTL occupied the area that S4 left. I haven't returned there, but rest assured it's the same size.

I think we were right at 7000 sq ft. The problem with arena was that there were interior walls that cut some of the space. I'd say the main area was basically the same size as OAA (5000-6000 sq ft).

Depending on how this new location is developed, will make the difference between a good location..and one that falls to the wayside.

Our arena was designed for kids, not for AP....and I hated that.

OAA was about 6000 sq. ft. of shoot house, and had another 600 or so of staging area.

We had modular wall sections, and would assemble them into new and devious layouts every weekend, and then take them back down at the end of the weekend.

I think one of the guys was working on a layout program he could run on his laptop, but what we usually did was just lay it out on graph paper beforehand, put it together, and make notes on what worked and what didn't work, and then modify it the next week depending on what we were looking to do with it.

It generally took us an hour or so with 6 guys to get everything set up, and less than two to do the teardown and sweep up the bbs.

[Matt]

Oh I remember that part well. The only thing I didn't like about that setup was the sheet rock. It was heavy, would break if players ran into it, and would leave a mess everywhere you dragged it.
