So I was on a trip to Columbia, TN for the first weekend of June and before going I looked to see if there was any airsoft fields nearby and sure enough, 30 minutes away in College Grove, TN was the legendary CartCon1 Airsoft.

So this being my first trip to CartCon1 I wasn’t sure what to expect so I read the rules and watched some videos. But I couldn’t find out the field layout so I was going into it almost blind. But finally on Sunday, June 4th I went and put my stuff down and payed for my day pass which I was surprised to find that it was only $25.00 because even though it said that on the website I was expecting that it wasn’t including tax. But it was so that’s nice. Also they give you a wristband once you pay which is nice to see because since they do that nobody can just set there stuff down and play for free.

But after that I went back to my stuff and put my battery in my gun and went and got It chronoed. Also the chrono area also doubled as a shooting range which was cool. But once I got my gun chronoed they put a sticker with the date on it, on the magwell which is smart because then you can’t skip chrono. But after that I went and sat back down and waited for the first game. While waiting the refs will announce how long until the game which is nice. But when you do get on the field the refs will go over a few rules and then give you a briefing on the game then you go to your side and they make sure everyone is ready then they start the game.

As for teams you decide who’s team your on based on if you show up wearing green or black. I decided to wear black. But of course with CartCon1’s field being in a literal field and it being summer plus the fact that I was wearing black meant that it was hot. But CartCon1 Airsoft does their best to help with that by giving you a covered seating area via carports and fans. And they tell everyone to drink plenty of water so they don’t have a heat stroke and that they sell water.

But onto the field. The field is 12 acres and is sometimes halved if you they don’t have enough players. The bottom of the hill which is closest to the staging area has a city in the middle made of shipping containers and the red side has two towers and some buildings and a little forest with another tower in it. The blue side just has some buildings though. But on the hillside is some walls for cover. But on the top of the hill is a compound made of privacy fence panels with two semi trailers in it and some water totes and buildings in and around it. But if you want a detailed picture of the field you can watch my video: Sweaty Players At CartCon1 Airsoft (It Was Very Hot)

But back to the field function. The refs are amazing because they drive around on side by sides and look down from the shipping containers so they don’t miss really anything. And also their really nice and will make jokes and stuff so their not intimidating or anything. And the community is also great so with all of this in mind I give the field a 9/10 or 4.5 stars. The only reason I don’t give it a 10/10 or 5 stars is because I prefer CQB over outdoor fields so it’s just me being nitpicky. But I would recommend going to this field if you like outdoor fields and I would recommend going in winter if you can’t stand the summer heat. But either than that have a good day and goodbye.
