Hey there airsofters, Grim here with some info on an upcoming event for those of you that are new to the sport of airsoft and those that want to hone their skills further. Tac City North(South El Monte location) is conducting their annual summer boot camp from June 25th through June 29th, July 23rd through July 27th and August 27th through August 31st.
This would be a great opportunity for those of you out there who have no idea what a buffer tube is, or what the hell the other players are talking about when they yell "watch your flank!" As you can see from the info below, there are some great bonuses to be had for signing up, not the least of which is a FREE GAS BLOWBACK PISTOL OF YOUR CHOICE when you sign up for all three weeks. If you've ever been in the Tac City pro shop, you know that they have some pretty sweet KWA pistols that can get as expensive as $200.00. Not to mention all the free swag that I'm sure the vendors will be providing for those in attendance. Hope to see y'all there. Yeehawww! Sorry, I don't know where that came from. It's late. Good night.
<p>Hey airsofters, Grim here! The latest in child safety and zombie eradication has finally arrived! Brought to you by the folks at Blast-O, this bad boy/girl features a 12 gauge shotgun for crowd control & a spare rack for the assault rifle of your choice. The three wheels allow for quick turns when you need to juke the shambling undead and the deep tire tread helps you push through entrails while nit disturbing your little ones slumber. For preorders, keep checking out this blog!
Hey airsofters! Grim here with a quick update on an upcoming airsoft only event: Operation Black Shield. SC Village held this event last year, so I'm guessing the scenario, field availability and other good stuff will be the same.
So far, SC Village has only released the briefest of promo videos for it, which you can view below, but the event is to be held on July 14th through the 15th. You can purchase a one day ticket for $50.00 or a two day pass here (scroll to the very bottom for the two day option). Two day entry on the day of the event will be $95.00, so my suggestion is to preorder for $70. Here is a rundown of how the weekend will be broken down:

If you plan on attending the event, here are a few suggestions to make your long game weekend more comfortable:
Hydrate! If you've ever played at SC Viper during the summer, you know that Chino gets HOT. A camel pack is practically mandatory and bring plenty of sports drinks and water to refill it.
If you plan on attending both days, you can purchase a camp permit for $15.00 and park your vehicle overnight. This saves on gas and you can mingle with your teammates. There are also a couple of motels within driving distance should you need to shower. And for God's sake, please shower.
Bring spare AEG's. Unless you're a tech and can fix your own guns, I suggest bringing at least one backup weapon and spare batteries.
Ankle support! Because of the varied terrain, good ankle support and comfort are a necessity. At my last two day event, I ended up leaving early because I took a spill and nearly broke my ankle. SO in a word...BOOTS
That's it for now, airsofters! These overnight events are usually a lot of fun, so I hope to see you there! As always, play safe, play hard and call your hits!
