How Much Money Do Airsoft Fields Make

Steps Download Article

1

Gather equipment to build with. If you want a top-notch field and you have money to spare you can buy the wood and sandbags and such that you need. BUT, the better thing to do would probably be to find scrap wood and barrels, and anything you find on the side of the road. You might want to bring friends to help build it.
2

Find a good place to play near your home or neighborhood. A large backyard, abandoned shack or you could buy a wide lot near your house, this is ideal for a large-scale assault. If you own property (or have permission to use it) with woods this would be good too, as most cover will already be there and you won't have to do as much work. Remember It could be illegal in your area on public land.
3

Dig trenches and fox holes for cover.
4

Stack up and put out any stacked up tires, old barrels, tables, palettes, sandbags or other solid objects for cover.
5

Mark any objectives clearly with smoke, a painted emblem, a sticker, or anything Be Creative! if applicable.
6

Make bunkers out of old sheds or build new ones out of wood
7

Put trees or small bushes to hide behind.
8

Be aware there are no animals occupying the place. You do not want to kill someone's pet.
9

Make different landmarks that everyone can identify. So, put a lot of plywood in one area, and you can call it 'the fort'. Have a lot of open area, then call it 'the field'. Make the field distinguishable, so you can communicate effectively.
10

Make sure if its in your backyard, no one shoots one of your windows.

Question

How do I get people to join my team?

You can ask some friends if they are interested, or post online that you are looking for team members.
Question

How much does it cost to make an Airsoft team?

It doesn't cost anything as long as everybody already has Airsoft gear. If nobody has anything it could cost around $500.00 for your team to get started.

How long will this take?

The time will vary depending on the person and their experience, but if you have help from your friends, then I would say you can expect the project to take 1-3 days.
Question

What type of land should I use when making an Airsoft field?

Most land works, it really depends on how you want your field to be. For example, if you want a "king of the hill" map, you may want to have land that is uneven and hilly.
Question

Do I have to be a certain age to make my own Airsoft field? How old do I need to be to play Airsoft safely?

I would say you have to be around 16 for competitive Airsoft, the guns hurt like HECK sometimes. But if you're playing just for fun, ages 12+ is good.
Question

So they have to bring their own Airsoft gun?

Unless you have a large arsenal of Airsoft guns you can hand out to participants, yes, they should bring their own guns.
Question

Can this be a Nerf field?

Yes, you can use any airsoft field for Nerf as well. Since Nerf cannot damage anything, you don't have to worry as much about safety.

Also, before you build it, you should plan it. Start making a map of the field you're gonna make.
Remember, think about what type of games you plan on playing on that field while building it to avoid unnecessary barracks or structures.
Remember, it's your field. Be Creative! Make it unique and specific to what you'll use it for!
Make certain rules for the field such as where re spawn points are or set a limit of players on the field at a time.
NEVER play in a public area.
The smaller the group, the smaller the location.
Make sure you advertise well.

Thanks for submitting a tip for review!

Never play in an area that is often visited by the public
At least one person needs to keep a cellphone on them in case there's an accident
Always ask the owner of the property before using it.
Be sure to not use thorn bushes on the arena.
For guns like snipers, stay about 95 feet away, as many snipers shoot 500+ FPS.
For guns such as assault rifles, stay at least fifteen feet back to avoid injury to the person under fire.
You should alert the local police if you plan to play airsoft at any time. If you run into a cop do everything he/she says.
If someone is to close and you do not have an extra weapon within the range limit, point your gun at them and yell "bang bang" to "kill" them and avoid injury, sending them back to a spawn point.
For guns such as pistols, stay 5 to 8 feet away to avoid injury.
