Airsoft Events: Operation Black Shield

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!
