My Airsoft Field I’ve Been Making

Hello Airsofters I’m Nehemiah Varnell and I’m going to be talking about my airsoft field I’ve been making. I’ve been working on this field since January 24th, 2022. I started with my brother but now it’s just me and I get some occasional help every now and then. I played on it only a few times. But I call the field Coyote Airsoft. 

Coyote Airsoft hasn’t been a daily project but since I started tracking my work on November 1st, 2022 I’ve worked almost 19 hours. Right now I can’t do much though because there’s too much brush on the ground from where we worked with a skid steer down there. But I hope to clear that and then start building cover. Of course I’ve had setbacks like just a few weeks ago some kids broke a bunch of stuff down there. That was maybe $100 in damage and 4 hours of work. But that’s to be expected.

Anyway, onto the rules I have for the field. I have 12 rules, they are:

  1. Always Call Your Hits By Raising Your Hand And Yelling: ‘Hit!’
  2. Full Seal Masks/Goggles Required. If Goggles Are In Use Your Ears Must Be Covered
  3. Masks On When On The Field Unless Otherwise Stated
  4. Never Remove Your Mask During A Game. If Someone Is Seen Without A Mask Then Yell ‘Cease Fire!’ or ‘Blind Man’
  5. Safety On And Mags Out When Outside Of The Field
  6. 380 FPS Maximum
  7. No Moving The Cover on Field
  8. No Blind Fire
  9. If You Are 3 Feet From Someone Yell ‘Bang! Bang!’. This Counts As A Kill
  10. Do Not Climb On Cover
  11. No Fighting, Cursing, Vulgar Language, Or Physical Contact Will Be Tolerated
  12. Biodegradable BBs Only

Of course the rules will probably change if the field becomes an official airsoft field. But the field isn’t an official airsoft field yet, but I hope to open it up as one, one day. But the most expensive part is the netting. I need a 16 foot tall net and 500-900 feet of it. Which is a lot. But I also have other things I need like tables and chairs. I need to get waivers too, which is a hard task because I don’t know where to get insurance from. Also bathrooms are hard because I could do a porta potty but how are they going to wash their hands? But I’ll figure it out. But if you’re reading this and you have an idea then please tell me. But also if y’all are interested in the field then tell me and maybe I could plan an event for players to try the field. But that won’t be anytime soon because I have to finish setting up the field. 

Anyway I’ll also go over the games I have. I’ll add more as time goes on but currently there are 4. They are: 

  1. Team Deathmatch
  2. Medic
  3. King of the Hill
  4. Invasion

And I’ll also go over how you play them. Starting with Team Deathmatch. Most people know how to play Team Deathmatch, but it’s where two even teams fight for a duration of time with unlimited respawns. As for the time of the games I would probably do 5-10 minute games but I’m not sure. The next game is Medic. Some people know how to play medic, but it is where, like Team Deathmatch, two even teams battle. But each team has a medic, the medic has infinite lives and has to tap the downed player 10 times to revive them. The medic is the only player who can respawn. Next is King of the Hill, even if you haven’t played airsoft you probably know what King of the Hill is even if you haven’t played it. It’s where people fight to control a point. In this case 2 even teams fight to control the repair shop. You have to respawn when you get shot. The final game is Invasion. In Invasion red team advances to control the blue team’s spawn. Red team players have 3 lives and blue team has a medic. The medic only has one life. But if you have an idea for game mode then tell me. Also to get an idea of the field you can watch this video from the end of September of last year: Full Send (Backyard Airsoft). Also please let me know your opinion on the field, because that’s the reason I made this post. But that’s all I’ve got to talk about so have a good day and goodbye.
