| Hey guys - I'm Will - I live in shreveport, LA and there is NO airsoft fields or any players for that matter - I just bought my first AEG (AK47), but I have two other friends that have a P90 and an AUG. I am looking forward to playing with ya'll. I am going to try to make it over there as much as possible this summer - I assume its basically a walk-on type of game? Well anyways glad to see some players somewhat close. Hope to see some of ya'll on the field! |

| Hehe, cool to see a guy so willing to make a short drive down I-20 to get shot at ;) I hope you guys can make it Saturday. If not, see you when you can. (Wow, all that great swampland and nowhere to play airsoft!) |

Hey, glad to hear that. I'm Justin and I use a Spetsnaz. Yeah you basically just arrive and wait for the next game to start. I've just recently started goin to Forney and have played 2 games there so far(1 Day and 1 Night). The guys at Forney are very friendly and cool so you'll enjoy it there. One thing you'll have to remember is that you gotta sign a waiver and wear eye protection. If you are under 18 you need to have full face protection I believe. |

| Well - I can't make it this weekend(girlfriend's family reunion BAH!), but it is on after that it is on! We have a lot of good land to play on, but lack of people with AEGs. Mostly people have Springers - Owell - hope to play soon! |

Well we are glad to hear u wanna come out and play. There is no fee to play and most DAY games are on sundays, and start at noon.
U can just arrive there with your AEG and all u have to do is sign a waiver that i will hand you when you arrive and then you are ready to go! U must have some kind of eye protection and/or face mask and HAVE A GOOD TIME!! -SLIK- |

| Well, If you feel like it you could always call mike, his store and ADDR. are in the sticky, if you don't mind, you could always drive to his store after calling in to see if he has what you want. |

| Getting to Mike's place can be kinda tricky by just using the map from the sticky post...it took me about 1.5 hours of driving around the area. Perhaps on game days there could be a sign posted that is a little more noticable than the small, dark one apparent only to those of us who have made it to the gates ;) Just a suggestion, and perhaps I'm the only one that had a hard time finding it on my first trip out. Perhaps it wouldb e better to not the address to the neigbor and say, "the first gate east (or west depending...) of this address." |

Ya same thing happened to us the first time out we almost missed the forney field cause the sign was so small. It sounds like a good idea having a bigger sign posted outside but its up to mike since its his field. Maybe someone can volunteer to make a sign on poster board and then staple it to a stake and place out front near the entrance. |

| The sign that is in place was a gift from Brian Hollis. Personally, I had no trouble finding the field. It is the first driveway past the mailbox that reads 15800 on the right hand side if you are approaching after you follow the directions from Hwy 80. Also, there is usually a big ass yellow cargo truck that sits on the property. I would suggest that those of you that are first timers call Mike if you have any questions. |

My advice is to leave the sign alone, as is. I am of the opinion that the field not be heavily advertised to passing traffic.

| Well guys i am going to try to make a bigger sign for people to find the field alot easier. But if u follow the directions, then it shouldn't be too hard to find, but i will make another sign so it will be easier. Thanks for the input guys, your opinions are always welcome. -SLIK-(the army store) |

i think the first half a dozen time we miss the field. we always ended up driving in reverse to get to it. hehe. just remember to look for a huge hole at the entrance of the gate.
we should volunteer to fill that ditch up w/ gravel, your car (not SUV) will thank you
i'm willing to offer some hard labor if someone have a wheel barrow and pepples =) |

Haha, I ran into that ditch one time. Ouch!
Duc, a wheel barrow isn't considered hard labor. Hard labor is scooping a pile of dirt with your hands and filling that hole up. |
